Summary
Started the online co-op as Creative (mostly because we planned to just explore since the objectives haven’t been added into the online co-op […yet?] however the settings only seem to have affected myself (the host) and not my friend (guest), ie my food, water, stamina etc does not go down…my friends food and water does go down.
Settings
Only setting that was changed was gameplay from normal to creative - world was set as existing and not random
Extras
Have tried restarting the co-op sessions - did not work
