What is a PLR file?
A PLR file is a player profile created by Re-Logic Terraria, a 2D action, exploration, and sandbox construction game. It contains a record of a player character's name, appearance, maximum HP and MP, inventory, game type, and time played. Terraria uses PLR files to show player profiles on its screen.
More Information
In Terraria, players explore an open world, construct buildings and other structures, and battle a variety of creatures. Before players start playing, they must create a player profile. While creating this profile, they specify their character's:
- Name
- Gender and appearance
- Game type (Journey, Classic, Mediumcore, or Hardcore)
Terraria then saves the profile as a PLR file. As the player progresses through the game, Terraria also records the player's maximum HP and MP, current item inventory, current buffs, and other data to their PLR file.
Where Terraria saves PLR files
The PC versions of Terraria store PLR files in the following directories:
- Windows: ~/Users/YourUserName/Documents/My Games/Terraria/Players
- Mac: ~/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/Terraria/Players
NOTE: Terraria also saves backups of each player profile. These .BAK files use the .plr.bak extension and are saved in the same directory as PLR files.
How to open a PLR file
To use a PLR file with Re-Logic Terraria (Windows, Mac), place it in your ~/Terraria/Players directory (the full location of which is noted above). Then, the profile your PLR file contains will appear on Terraria's screen.
You can also edit PLR files with Terrasavr, an online Terraria character and inventory editor. For example, you can use Terrasavr to add items to your character's inventory, change the game mode with which your character is associated, or modify your character's attributes.
