How to choose the Terraria world size
The size of your Terraria world is small by default. You can choose the size before generating a world. This guide will show you how in a few simple steps.
Note that the world size must be set before the world is generated. This can be done by deleting the world right after creating a server.

- Start your server
- Pause your server
- Open your server's files
- Edit the
gameserver/serverconfig.txt
file - Change the line starting with

- Save the file
- Go into the
gameserver
folder and delete theWorlds
folder - Restart the server
