Cheats Can Be Used in Multiplayer
It's still possible to use cheats in a multiplayer world. You'll simply need to select Start Server when loading up your world, and then invite others into the game using the Invite to Game option within the Steam interface.
Once in the game, the host player will be able to use cheats and can share spawned items with other players. That said, even in this setting, only the host player can use cheats, and they won't work for any other players.
