Hosting your world on Steam has multiple upsides and downsides

|---|---|
| Free | World is only hosted when the host is playing |
| Easy to setup and convenient | Very unreliable, lots of crashes |
| Not optimized to run 50 mods |
It is very easy to host your world when using Steam. Just click Multiplayer → Host and Play and get in your world. Then just send an invite to your friends to join your world, just make sure that everyone has the same mods, otherwise they won’t be able to join you

When you log in to your server control panel, you will see this
To install the modpack on your server, make first sure that you are hosting “Terraria tModLoader 1.4”, and start your server at least once to create all the necessary files. Once this is done, go to:
Files → .local → share → Terraria → tModloader → Mods
Now open the modpack folder where all the mods are
And drag all of the mods and the “enabled” json file to the “Mods” folder of your server
