Thinking of playing again but confused about characters and worlds

I've recently beaten the Moon lord for the first time and loved the experience. And I'm thinking of playing all over.

But I'm a little confused. When I created a new worlds inside my previously played character, I carried over basically everything I had in my inventory. Is it supposed to be similar to NG+ in dark souls? (without difficulty bump) In that, am I supposed to create a new character because I basically cheese the entire run with the weapons and items I carry over?

Worlds and characters are independent. To truly start over you need to make both a new character and world. Otherwise you'd be bringing an OP character into a new world or bringing a new character into your old world

Thanks for sorting this out! Will do

There you go. You can also do this as a multi-world playthrough, such as if you wanted to explore a naturally-generated Crimson world but yours was Corruption. (And yes, it is still technically possible to get Crimson in a Corruption world and vice versa via the Dryad on a Blood Moon, who will sell the opposite evil’s seeds.)
