Does this game have anti cheat mechanisms?

[FrosTytheNoob]

Hello! I am new to this game and I want to know the basics on how to avoid getting banned. So I am not new to this since there are countless reports on CS:GO dude his is using aim bot blah blah blah = BANNED. So does Terraria have VAC? how do you know if people are cheating? how do you avoid a server if there is one that is enabling CHEATS [if there are any]?

I see lot of people complaining about this topic being an old topic, but i see no one redirecting to that specific topic. Not to mention, just because the subject started at 2014, it doesn't mean the answers back then still applies now. What if there was an update that added something about it since then?

Personally, i haven't played in a server (for now). Though i'm kinda curious about how it work with mods (whether it's from the workshop or from Tmodloader). Because there are mods that give unfair advantages to player that are NOT intended by developers (like invincibility, infinite HP/MP, ...)

Granted, most of those cheating problems mostly affect competitive PvP and not much else, since Terraria isn't really a competitive game from the start (unlike CS:GO). it's a game about doing an adventure with your own style. So you won't get "banned" from changing how you play with mods (by definition, mods is a method of "cheating", but often players think more of them as variant of Terraria, even when they know the mod modifiy the game). However you might have a different experience from normal players. You might want to consider if you really need each specific mods, if you think it's fine for the overall gameplay (like Veinminer), or if you think it's too much of an advantage (exemple: abusing an all-item world from the steam workshop).

Necrobumping has been an internet forum no-no for decades, the particular thread being discussed is almost always over whenever it gets dug up and is just plain annoying to see inactive threads dug up from years ago for no real reason when at that point it's perfectly acceptable to make a new thread on the subject.
