Terraria – what server commands should I use to get a solar eclipse to happen

terraria

I know the eclipse is about 1 in 30 per day but what server commands can I use to cycle days? Should it be midnight then dawn, or dusk then dawn etc? Is it even possible to trigger via server commands?

Best Answer

Every time the time turns to day, the world is in hardmode and a mechanical boss has been killed, there is a 1 in 25 chance of a solar eclipse taking place. For minimum time spent to get each solar eclipse, you would want to use midnight, wait for it to turn to daytime and see if you got one. While dawn sets the time to right when the day starts, it also skips the code that checks for solar eclipse and invasions.

Alternatively you could download Tshock server mod and use the command they provide to instantly start the solar eclipse event.
