Config.json settings

Config.json is a file created by Terraria that primarily stores settings that were chosen via Terraria's settings menu. In addition to storing the in-game menu settings, it also allows players to set certain game options that have not yet been added to the menu. These "hidden" game options appear at the bottom of the config.json file. In order to set these options, quit Terraria completely, open the config.json file, edit the desired settings, then save the config.json file and start Terraria.

Config.json resides in one of the following locations:
 * On Windows PCs:
 * On Mac systems:
 * In Linux environments:
