How to make a Skyblock or special seed world on your Terraria server

TerrariaUpdated Oct 24, 20263 min read

On a Terraria Vanilla server, open Settings, Game Settings, switch on one or more Special seed settings, give the world a new World Name, and restart. The server creates the special world. The switches only matter when a world is created.

The special seeds

Each one is a switch, off by default. The panel describes them like this:

Setting	What the world is like
Special seed: Skyblock	Start on a small floating island with very little land.
Special seed: Zenith (Get Fixed Boi)	Every special seed at once: the hardest world there is.
Special seed: Drunk World	Both evils, mixed-up biomes and party music.
Special seed: For the Worthy	Much harder enemies and bosses.
Special seed: Celebration	The 10th anniversary world: party everywhere.
Special seed: The Constant	Don't Starve style darkness and hunger.
Special seed: Not the Bees	The world is a jungle full of bees and honey.
Special seed: No Traps	The world is packed with traps.
Special seed: Remix	The world is turned upside down.

Since Terraria 1.4.5 special seeds can be combined: turn on several.

Make the world

Open your server in the panel, click the Settings tab, then Game Settings.
Switch on the special seeds you want. Each switch saves as soon as you flip it.

Set World Size and Difficulty too, if you want them different.
Change World Name to a name that has no world yet, for example skyblock. Your current world stays on disk and comes back if you set its name back.
Restart the server and wait for the ready line in the Console.

A special seed overrides the World Seed text, so you do not need to type a seed.

Good to know

Switch the special seeds off again once the world exists, so the next new world you make is a normal one. They do nothing to a world that already exists.
Special seed switches are on Terraria Vanilla only. TShock and tModLoader do not have them in the panel.
