How to Pause in Terraria PC
Pausing in Terraria on PC is kinda tricky since the game doesn't pause the traditional way when you hit ESC. Instead, pressing ESC brings up your inventory and the game still runs in the background. For a real pause, you need to open your inventory and then open the settings menu by clicking the settings gear icon. This effectively pauses the game, but it only works in single-player!

Just hit ESC and open the settings menu. Boom, game paused. Works every time, but only if you're flying solo in single-player mode.
You can't truly pause in multiplayer mode, just a heads up. Only the trick with the settings menu in single-player does the job.
Honestly, the best way to 'pause' in Terraria is to just make sure you're in a safe spot. Since it's always running in the background, there's no true pause in multiplayer. So, find a cozy corner or build yourself a little dirt hut to hide in!
