Exploring Terraria's Hidden Settings

Exploring Terraria's Hidden Settings
Oh hey. It seems that settings exist! However, not all of them are in the settings panel - only some of them are. The hidden settings, whether they are significant or not, are still interesting to go over, so we will!
Config.txt is is found within My Games in Documents on Windows, and on Mac it's found at ~/Library/Application support/Terraria.
I also recommend you actually use a editor for .json files, like Sublime Text, since it's a lot easier to find this stuff with line numbers.
