Can I upload my Terraria gameplay videos on YouTube without getting copyright?

[tryndamid]

Hi! I always wanted to start a YouTube channel and since Terraria is one of my favorite games (and the only one I'm currently playing) I was wondering if I am able to record it and upload it on YouTube. I've seen a lot of people doing it, but I decided to ask first to not have any trouble. Also, what about the music and some mods?

Yes, it falls onto the area of fair use.
And even if not, I'm sure Re-logic would be totally okay with it.
The mods would almost certainly be okay, example: Calamity, Thorium, Overhaul.
And the music is allowed in the videos.

Can You explain what is fair use like is it something about YouTube or Re-Logic?

I'm not very good at explaining law stuff, but basically fair use is something where you can use copyrighted material in a video, game, or any sort of media. The requirements for fair use are here: Measuring Fair Use: The Four Factors
That's the best I can help

Just to confirm and agree with @Layn, you're totally OK to make Terraria YouTube videos. You should also be alright to use the music and mods too.
