How to Host an Online Terraria Server on Mobile
Hosting an online Terraria server on mobile might sound like a tough nut to crack, but it's pretty doable! First off, both you and your friends need to have the Terraria app installed on your mobile devices. Once you're in the game, open the multiplayer section, select 'Host & Play', choose a character, then a world, and voila! You’ll host the game, and your friends can join in by selecting 'Join via IP' and entering the host's IP address. Make sure everyone's on the same WiFi network for a smoother experience!

Actually, if you're trying to host a game for friends far away, the mobile version gets a bit trickier since it doesn't support hosting a game over the internet directly. In this case, one workaround is using a VPN service that lets you create a virtual network with your friends. Apps like Hamachi or ZeroTier can help you all 'be' on the same network, then follow the same steps as local multiplayer. It’s a bit of a workaround, but it does the trick!
Nah, just play local. Hosting online's too much hassle on mobile.
Heads up, hosting a Terraria server on mobile might eat up your battery faster than you can say 'Zombie Eskimo!' Played with friends during a power outage, and my phone was the first to go. Fun times but maybe keep a charger handy!
