Mud Block

A Mud Block is a Dirt-like Block that can be found Underground and crafted near Water while having a Dirt Block in the inventory. Mushroom Grass Seeds and Jungle Grass Seeds can only grow on mud.

When placing a Jungle Grass Seed on a Mud Block at below a certain depth (700ft in small worlds, 1,000 feet on large worlds), you can create an Underground Jungle. Mushroom Grass Seeds will only grow at below 0ft.

At hardmode any corrupted block will turn regular mud blocks that are up to three squares away into dirt. If there was jungle grass then it also will be converted to corrupt grass. This does not affects mushroom grass tiles. To offset this, Mud Blocks can be crafted from Dirt Blocks, allowing players to create a new supply. Also, this will take much time for the Corruption to turn back Mud into Dirt, making it a limited-time yet efficient way to contain the corruption.
