TShock Terraria servers can adjust the respawn timer for characters to be shorter or longer. The timer options include both during boss fights and outside of them, allowing players to shorten boss respawn timers to prevent bosses from despawning mid-fight. Alternatively, increasing the timer can encourage players to be more cautious during fights, as dying may cause the boss to leave the area.
