Background walls



Background Walls are tiles that create backgrounds. Most wall types are items that can exist in player inventories, and can be placed by players in any area that doesn't already have background walls. Walls can be removed with a Hammer. All walls fall under two categories.
 * Housing walls are placed by players or generated in certain structures. They prevent enemies from spawning, but do not do anything to prevent their passage, and a mostly unbroken background of housing wall tiles is necessary for a structure to qualify as a House for attracting NPCs, or to place a Bed that can set a player's spawn point.
 * Natural walls are instead found throughout the world in several Biomes, and cannot be placed by players. Natural walls will not stop enemies from spawning, and cannot be utilized for Houses. These walls must be removed by starting from their edge (i.e., there must be at least one adjacent tile with no wall), unlike housing walls, which can be removed from any point. Explosives can remove all natural walls within their blast radius as long as an edge is somewhere within the radius.

Certain walls, such as Obsidian Brick Walls or Dungeon Brick Walls exist in both natural and housing forms. With these walls, the player must break the natural walls and replace them in order to allow them to count as housing walls. Furthermore, the natural form of some walls, such as Dirt Walls or Jungle Walls cannot be harvested, and must instead be crafted or purchased from an NPC.

Walls are generally obtained via crafting, purchasing from NPCs, or by harvesting naturally-occurring walls. One item of crafting material generally crafts four of its corresponding Wall items. Four of the same wall item can also be crafted back into one of the items it was made from.

These walls are spawned when the new world is created, and can all be obtained by some method.

Hallowed Grass Wall.png Converted Walls
These walls are mainly created when the Corruption, Crimson, or Hallow naturally spreads to them, but they can also be made by using the respective Solution with the Clentaminator. When destroyed, these walls do not drop anything. This technically makes them unobtainable.

Obsidian Back Wall.png Unobtainable Walls
These walls are spawned when the world is created but are unable to be created, obtained, looted, purchased, or used by the player in any way. They can be destroyed, but drop nothing (with one exception).
