I couldn't even get a screenshot of what happened here.
Word of advice. Be careful with console commands.
So, I was lighting up the Floater Isle with LED Lights. I was in Creative, and didn't really feel like going back to the base to make a bunch more lights every time I ran out. So, I simply typed enter, "item ledlight 28," and enter again, then kept going along my merry way. Until I messed up.
I knew what had happened a quarter of a second before submitting the code, but I was too late to not press the key.
I had pressed an extra button.
"Item ledlight 278."
So, as I watched in horror, the computer froze with literally hundreds of lights suddenly hanging in midair in front of me. I sat staring for well over fifteen minutes before simply restarting the computer. Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Windows Menu, nothing did anything.
So, moral of the story... be careful. Make sure you typed things in correctly before submitting.
I lost five hours of work to such a simple mistake.

or better yet ... dont cheat
Creative mode being made for that exact purpose (create stuff without the need of the actual ressources theyre made of) its not cheating. But yeah, when using console commands, gotta be extra careful cuz sheeeets can start hitting the fan pretty fast hehe
Would be better with a Gmod style spawning menu methinks...
