Wood Platform



Wooden Platforms are thin blocks through which players can jump or drop (using the 'S' key by default) through. They are often used to build bridges and ladders, or used to cover pits since they allow passage in both directions.

Slimes are unable to drop through the platforms due to their mobility being limited to jumping. Other enemies like zombies and skeletons can drop through with ease. Flying enemies like Demon eyes and Harpies can fly up through wood platforms but not down, making them useful when creating traps for flying enemies.



Wood platforms can be attached to a background wall, a block, or another adjacent wood platform (including one directly above or below). They cannot be attached directly to the background of the dirt or stone underground layers, since the backdrops of these areas don't count as "walls". However the sections 'anchoring' the platform to a wall can be destroyed after it is built out, leaving floating platforms as seen in the image to the right.

NPCs can not jump on them, only walk on.

Grappling Hooks attach to wood platforms, while projectiles like bombs and arrows pass freely through them; this makes them useful for 'guard towers', or overhangs on the side of your house from which to shoot invading enemies. Falling items will land on the platform.

You can place things such as furnaces, anvils, and chests ontop of a Wooden Platform. Dont worry, you will sitll be able to pass through it.

Wood platforms have no sell value. You can have 99 in a stack.

On touch, lava dislodges a platform just like a hammer, however if it falls into a pool of lava more than 1 pixel tall it will be destroyed. Water is capable of passing through platforms.

A meteor impacting with a platform destroys it and many side-by-side ones, leaving under 10 blocks of Meteorite in place of ones not destroyed, with the rest of the Meteorite discoverable on the ground.
