Living Tree



Living Trees are large tree-shaped structures generated at world creation. Unlike regular trees, Living Trees are constructed from foreground Living Wood and Leaf Blocks, rather than being background objects that characters can pass through.

Living Trees are very large and often (but not always) contain an internal, vertical tunnel structure which leads down to a room containing Living Tree-themed furniture and a Living Wood Chest, all of which can be looted. The chest can contain either a Living Wood Wand (for placing Living Wood), a Leaf Wand (for placing Leaf Blocks), or a Living Loom (for crafting Living Wood furniture).

In the, Living Trees have larger and rounder tops and can generate in groups. They also have horizontal tunnels that can connect to other trees or lead outside of them. Chests can be generated inside these tunnels. One of the trees will usually have the treasure room, which contains a Living Loom along furniture and a Living Wood Chest. The entrance to their internal tunnels are enclosed, requiring a pickaxe to enter them. Gnomes can also be found more often within Living Trees.

Smaller, Living Mahogany Trees are found deep in the Underground Jungle. They are always hollow with an Ivy Chest at their base, containing Jungle Shrine items.

Tips

 * Rooms in Living Trees can be used for NPC housing by simply adding a light source.
 * During Hardmode, Living Trees act as natural barriers against the evil biomes' and Hallow's increased rate of spreading, provided that the area beneath the tree is cleared.
 * Because the tunnel inside the tree is curving slightly and it contains several platforms, the player does not need to fear taking fall damage from jumping down.
 * Living Trees are of great help fighting The Destroyer. Standing on top of a Living Tree forces the boss to make more predictable attacks.
