Talk:Evil biomes

Background wall spread
Hi there! just got through a discussion over at Talk:Corruption regarding whether backwall blocks can spread corruption (or crimson as the case may be). The user in question was kinda-confident that walls could only corrupt other walls, and not foreground blocks (unclear whether that could invalidate housing), but didn't affirmatively know the answer, and wasn't about to add it to the actual page, so I thought I'd cross-reference it here in hopes someone with more code-knowledge/experience would be able to help. Thanks.208.89.33.43 16:07, 16 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I found this thread on the forums that confirms walls do not spread biomes. ;-)  In general, the forums are a good place to look for "dirty details", there's a lot of experienced players posting there.  --MentalMouse42 (talk) 04:46, 17 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Posting this here as well, just for the sake of completion: I have taken a look at the source code, and it appears walls are in fact capable of spreading, but only to other, natural purity walls. See Talk:Biome spread (let's not keep this going over three different talk pages). --Rye Greenwood (talk) 04:18, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Mod that change item
What is the mod used to switch corrupt items to crimson and vice versa? Please im confused Player2170 (talk) 17:13, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Also i found that the demonite wepaons and crimtane weapons are counterparts as they can't be found in another world except if found in some mod worlds Player2170 (talk) 09:13, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Hallow counterparts
I feel like it would be worth it to add Hallow counterparts to the page, for example the Mimic drops. --Godslayerchickennugget (talk) 13:02, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't agree, Hallow has no pre-hardmode content so there is no counterpart to the orbs/hearts. Plus the Hallow Mimic has only 4 non-potion drops (it is missing an accessory). I think this page is best left for the Evil Biomes only. -- Breathlessblizzard (talk)


 * While I see your point, I think it would be worth mentioning somehow that the Hallowed counterparts exist to those items on this page. --Godslayerchickennugget (talk) 13:11, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Counterpoint; this page is displayed in full on Evil biome (didn't realize till today). It would be 100% inappropriate to discuss Hallowed content there, imo. -- Breathlessblizzard (talk) 10:44, 20 June 2020 (UTC)


 * (Really late reply, sorry) So would it be possible to construct a table on the The Hallow page listing those, then? --— Godslayerchickennugget (talk | contribs) 11:21, 20 June 2020 (UTC)


 * That would be just 5 entries right? Illuminant Hook / Daedalus Stormbow / Flying Knife / Crystal Shard / Rainbow Gun. You're free to make it, but I don't think it's particularly noteworthy. -- Breathlessblizzard (talk) 19:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Meh, you're right. I'll forget about it. — Godslayerchickennugget (talk | contribs) 19:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Items from biome chests
I think that the items from the crimson and corruption biome chests should be added
 * Done -- Breathlessblizzard (talk) 04:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
