Terraria: Journey Mode on Servers
Journey Mode is Terraria's "Creative Mode", giving players godmode, item duplication, and control over time/weather. However, on a dedicated server, these powers are restricted by default to prevent abuse.
1. The Mode
The server must be set to `difficulty=3` (Journey) in `serverconfig.txt`. Standard characters cannot join a Journey world.
2. The Config
You must edit `serverconfig.txt` (vanilla) or `config.json` (TShock) to explicitly allow powers.
3. The Powers
Powers include: Godmode, Research (Duplication), Time Set, Weather Control, and Enemy Spawn Rate.
Enabling Powers (Vanilla Server)
In the vanilla `serverconfig.txt`, you will find specific boolean flags. set them to `1` (true) or `0` (false).
# Journey Mode Power Permissions

If you are using TShock, it overrides the vanilla config permissions. You must grant the specific permission nodes to a group (e.g., `default` or `vip`).
- `tshock.journey.time` - Allows changing time.
- `tshock.journey.weather` - Allows changing rain/wind.
- `tshock.journey.godmode` - Allows toggling personal godmode.
- `tshock.journey.duplication` - Allows researching/duplicating items.
Command Example: /group addperm default tshock.journey.godmode
Common Issues
- "I can't duplicate items!" - Check if you have researched enough of the item first. Duplication is client-side, but the server validates it.
- "Time keeps resetting!" - If one player freezes time and another unfreezes it, you will fight for control. Coordinate with your team.
