Underground Jungle



The Underground Jungle is one of the most difficult areas in the world of Terraria prior to Hardmode. It is a dense network of small caverns, populated with thorns, water, and some of the more difficult enemies. You can safely but slowly make your way through if you have the Vilethorn, since you can wall yourself in at the first sign of Hornets and then kill them through the walls.

Shrines are common in this environment, often containing chests with rare items or weapons that can't be found anywhere else. Materials such as Stingers, Jungle Spores, and Vines (for use in crafting rare items) can also be gathered here in abundance. This biome will most likely end up taking you to The Underworld without much additional digging.

1.2 Underground Jungle

In Terraria 1.2 and beyond, the underground jungle has many new features. There are approximately 3/5/7 Bee Hives (depending on world size) filled with honey and at least one Queen Bee spawner are randomly created underground, as well as a temple made of Lizhard bricks, which can not be mined until a Picksaw is acquired from the Golem. Chlorophyte Ores are generated once Hardmode begins and start of as tiny single ores that grow into chunks of up to 26. For those who love chlorophyte ores, creating an artificial jungle in easy mode which is about 300-400 feet wide and high at the cavern layer is a smart way for farming chlorophyte ores, as long as it is a verified underground jungle which will mean that spores will grow, your cholorphyte will obviously spread and more will grow, and hornets will attack you. Make sure you have a passage going up to the surface with Jungle Grass on mud blocks all the way up.

Hunting the Jungle
The Underground Jungle can be found directly under the Surface Jungle biome. Underground Jungle monsters and loot begin to appear in the middle of the Underground layer, at these depths:

Hardmode
It is suggested that you should gather all the materials you could want from the Underground Jungle before activating Hardmode; the uncontrollable spread of the Underground Corruption will most likely destroy all jungle areas, unless proper Hallow precautions are taken.

While underground mud by itself is somewhat resistant to corruption spread, corruption still can spread through underground jungles by converting jungle grass into corrupted grass. So, to save underground jungles from full conversion, you need to ensure that there are no jungle grass blocks within three squares radius of any corrupted or corruptible blocks.
