So I just found something when I updated to 1.4, which was ~2d ago. If you turn on godmode for a Journey character and then use something like Terrasavr or similar to change the character to a different mode, the new character has godmode enabled. Since you can only change this in Journey mode, the character is permanently stuck in godmode, which is a pretty big deal in multiplayer. I recommend getting this fixed ASAP before any real damage can be done.

Terrasavr and any other modification programs are, by definition, already cheating and outside of the bounds of expected gameplay. It isn't really a bug, because they are breaking the game intentionally.

There could be a potential fix for this though. Maybe an 'if; then' line or similar that first detects if godmode is enabled on a character, then does a check to see if the character is set to Journey mode, and if not, it disables godmode for that character. Obviously, it runs the check when you join a world with a character so it doesn't have to run it for every single character file that currently isn't being used. I-I'm no coding wizard or anything, but that's just my idea of a possible fix.
