How Do I Upload Worlds?
Since world files are larger, users should connect to the server with an FTP client for transfers. After transferring the files to the Worlds folder, users must also change the world= and worldname lines in the config to match the name of the custom world.

Why Am I Getting Kicked for Projectile Spam?
To resolve this, log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel and go to the Startup tab. There, set ENABLE ANTI-CHEAT to Disabled.
What Can I Run on a Package 1 Terraria Server?
Only a small unmodded world is recommended to run smoothly on a Package 1 server.
Which Package Should I Choose for a Modded Server?
It heavily depends on the mods installed. Users can run a small world with a few mods on Package 2.
How Can I Change Mod Config Settings?
Some installed mods have a config file stored in the ModConfigs folder. However, many mod settings are client-side and can be found in: /Documents/My Games/Terraria/tModLoader/ModConfigs
