Saves and Backups
danger
Always back up your world files before editing! TEdit modifies world files directly.
Saving
- Save (
Ctrl+S) — Overwrites the currently open world file - Save As (
Ctrl+Shift+S) — Save to a new file location
Auto-Save
When enabled in Settings, TEdit periodically saves your work automatically. This protects against crashes and accidental data loss.
Backup Tips
- Keep a copy of your original
.wldfile before editing - Terraria world files are located at:
Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds - Use Save As to create named versions of your edits (e.g.,
MyWorld-v2.wld) - Consider using the Clipboard to export schematics of important builds
Undo / Redo
TEdit supports undo (Ctrl+Z) and redo (Ctrl+Y) for most operations. The undo history is stored in memory and is lost when you close the editor.
