How do I install Terraria mods with tModLoader?
With tModLoader running, mods are placed in the tModLoader/Mods/ folder as .tmod files. Download mods from the tModLoader in-game mod browser or from the tModLoader GitHub releases page, then upload the .tmod files to tModLoader/Mods/ via File Manager.
After uploading, the mods need to be enabled. Edit (or create) the file tModLoader/Mods/enabled.json and add the mod's internal name to the array. The internal name is the filename without the .tmod extension. Save and restart the server.
For example, if you uploaded CalamityMod.tmod, add "CalamityMod" to enabled.json:["CalamityMod", "AnotherMod"]
Restart the server after editing. Check the Console page for any loading errors on startup.
