Simplicity is key, my friend. Just minimize Terraria to your taskbar, and it'll keep running in the background. Perfect for when you need to quickly switch tasks but don't want to pause your game progress.
Terraria is all about that focus. If you alt-tab out to do other things, it鈥檚 gonna pause to wait for your glorious return. To truly multitask, pop into a multiplayer game. That way, Terraria keeps rolling while you鈥檙e off doing your wizardry elsewhere.
Nope, Terraria doesn't like being ignored. It'll pause if you try to switch focus away from the game window, unless you're on a server or have it minimized. So if you're looking to keep it running while you do other things on your computer, your best bet is joining a multiplayer server or just sticking to minimizing it.
