So, recently I was thinking about the .wld files that every world is based off of. Not just a seed, but an entire world to download. This was sort of inspired by the Terraria team's pre-made golf maps, but I thought to myself.... Does it have to be limited to golf? Why not a fun world with an example of an arena, or beautiful architecture, or advanced electronics, or some weird worldgen glitch?

Here it is. Just use the "Attach Files" button to attach your .wld file to a response. I'll provide an example below. Meanwhile, here's a link on how to find your .wld files.

    How to Download Your Terraria Server World & Files

    If you’d like to play your Terraria world in singleplayer or save a backup locally, you can download the world file directly from your server to your PC. Here’s how to do it step by step.


    Save Your Terraria World to Your Computer

    1. Log into your server’s Control Panel and STOP the server.
    2. Click on the “Backups” section, located on the left-hand side of the panel
    3. Click on the “Create backup” button.
    4. Once the Backup is done, click on the “three dots” and click “Download”.
    5. After the download is complete, you can now extract the ZIP file on your own PC.

    The world file will be located at the “Saves” directory and have a extension and match the name you originally assigned to the world. You can ignore files ending in — those are backup versions and not needed for normal play.


    You’ve now downloaded your Terraria world! You can load this file in singleplayer mode, transfer it to a different server, or simply keep it as a secure backup for the future.
