Thrown Powder

Thrown Powders are items that can be used to turn Crimson, Corrupt, or Hallowed blocks back into their pure form. When thrown, they release as a cloud spread with a very short range, comparable to that of a Broadsword, and produce a fair amount of light. Thrown Powder comes in three variants:

Purification Powder is able to revert any Corrupted or Crimson Blocks back into their pure form, such as reverting Ebonstone into Stone or Crimsand into Sand. It is purchased from the Dryad for each, while a Blood Moon is not active. Unlike Holy Water and Blue Solution, Purification Powder cannot spread the Hallow.
 * In Hardmode, one can use Purification Powder on a Tortured Soul in order to obtain the Tax Collector NPC.

Vile Powder is able to revert any Hallowed block back into its pure form, such as reverting Pearlstone into Stone. If thrown at a Bunny, Penguin, or Goldfish, it will turn into its Corrupted variants: Corrupt Bunny, Corrupt Penguin, and Corrupt Goldfish, respectively. It can be crafted from Vile Mushrooms or can be purchased from the Dryad for each, during a Blood Moon in a Corrupt world.

Unlike Unholy Water and Purple Solution, Vile Powder cannot spread the Corruption.

Vile Powder can be used to spread the Corruption as of version 1.4.0.1. It now spreads the Corruption on Hallow blocks instead of purifying them.

 is functionally identical to its counterpart, Vile Powder, to where it can revert any Hallowed block back into its pure form. If thrown at a Bunny, Penguin, or Goldfish, it will turn into its Crimson variants: Vicious Bunny, Vicious Penguin, and Vicious Goldfish, respectively. It can be crafted from Vicious Mushrooms or can be purchased from the Dryad for each, during a Blood Moon in a Crimson world.

Unlike Blood Water and Red Solution, Vicious Powder cannot spread the Crimson.

Vicious Powder can be used to spread the Crimson. It spreads the Crimson on Hallow blocks instead of purifying them.



Tips

 * Purification Powder is one of the only methods of tunneling through Ebonstone or Crimstone to reach Shadow Orbs/Crimson Hearts in pre-Hardmode without the need to defeat the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu, the other methods being to use explosives or a Molten Pickaxe.
