[Twinsen][0.16.51] Duplicate player when joining multiplayer game

[Mojod]

While a multiplayer server is paused and a player joins then quits while it is still paused, the next time they join they will become a new player character of the same username when the game is unpaused. The player character will be as if they have never been on the server before and the player will then be listed twice in the player list using /players command.

I can confirm this.

Fixed in Version: 0.17.38.
Thanks.

This was quite the bug, it needed some changes to multiplayer. Hopefully nothing else broke.
