Dig, Fight, and Build your way through the world of player-created mods on Terraria with tModLoader - this DLC makes modding Terraria a reality!

It is time for the March 2024 Stable Update! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. This month's release mainly contains bug fixes. This month we've continued our work to harden multiplayer by updating the server host scripts, made several improvements to Mod Config support, and fixed a dozen or so bugs. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our [url=https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-FAQ]FAQ on GitHub [/url] or reach out to us at [url=https://discord.com/invite/tmodloader]our Discord[/url]. [h1]Important Feature in Preview[/h1] This month we will be testing a major rework of how mods are loaded and synced on the [c]preview-v2024.02[/c] beta branch. When joining a server, a new menu will inform the user about pending mod downloads and config changes. [b]Modders [/b]should read the [i]How does this affect modders? [/i]section of the [url=https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/pull/3822]pull request[/url]. [b]Users [/b]will be happy to know that local mods will no longer override workshop mods, reducing potential errors from loading outdated mods significantly. The new UI will greatly help users avoid lengthy mod reloads in multiplayer. See [url=https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/pull/3822#issuecomment-1958116726]this video[/url] to see the new UI in action. We hope to perfect this user experience in anticipation for next months release. [h1]New Changes' Highlights[/h1] The following is a list of the most noteworthy changes made for this release. As a reminder, modders should consult the [url=https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Update-Migration-Guide#v202401]Update Migration Guide[/url] to see how to adapt to the new changes after running tModPorter.
