How to play LAN Terraria
Playing LAN Terraria is pretty easy! First, make sure all players are connected to the same network. One player needs to start Terraria, select 'Multiplayer', then 'Host & Play'. Choose your character, the world, and when you get to the 'Server Password' option, you can either set one or leave it empty for a quicker start. Whoever's hosting will have their world open, and then the other players can select 'Multiplayer', 'Join via IP', and literally just enter the host's local IP address! No internet needed, just direct, fun, blocky adventure time.

Nah, you're overthinking it. Just hit Multiplayer, host the game, and yell the IP across the room. Works every time.
Quick tip from someone who's been there: Make sure everyone's game version matches. Spent hours troubleshooting once only to find out one of us hadn't updated Terraria.
