Cubyz 0.1.1

This is a bug-fix release, no new features are added compared to version 0.1.0

• Fixed world creation bug that wrote the incorrect values for allowing cheats and the default gamemode
  When updating from a world created in version 0.1.0, you may also need to manually go through the players folder and change .gamemode = .creative, to .gamemode = .survival, in every player file to set the correct gamemode for everyone who joined while the world was in the incorrect state.
