Graveyard



The Graveyard is a mini-biome that appears when several Tombstones are in close proximity. As the number of Tombstones increase, the game colors in the vicinity become gradually more desaturated, mist accumulates on the ground, and lightning may randomly strike in the background. Graveyards cause Ghosts and Ravens to spawn, as well as night enemies like Zombies and Demon Eyes, even during daytime hours.

The Sunflower buff does not activate for players in a Graveyard.


 * A minimum of five Tombstones are required to spawn Zombies, Ghosts, and Demon Eyes.
 * Six Tombstones allows Maggot Zombies to spawn.
 * Seven Tombstones are required to access graveyard-exclusive NPC items and utilize the Ecto Mist as a crafting station for recipes like the Gravedigger's Shovel.

Tips

 * Avoid letting Tombstones accumulate around one's base/spawn point during the early game, as Ghosts have high health and damage output compared to starting characters, and the player will be bothered by Zombies and Demon Eyes.


 * Using sunflowers around common death spots such as arenas can help to prevent a graveyard biome from being created without the need to constantly mine tombstones.


 * You can also mine a 1 block gap every 2 blocks to keep tombstones from being placed.
