Dirt Wall

Dirt Walls are background walls made from Dirt Blocks. Like all walls, they are used to make NPC housing, as decoration, and to stop monsters from spawning in areas that they are placed.

Dirt Walls are often generated with a world, as the background to some caves prior to the Underground, when an actual cave background begins. These naturally occurring walls will not stop enemies from spawning and are not suitable for dwellings. In addition, they drop nothing when destroyed with a Hammer. Only naturally-spawned walls located on the edge of the mass can be broken. This may be to prevent players from using an exploit allowing them to break holes through the background of the world in lieu of torches. Placed Dirt Walls can be recognised by their slightly different graphic (they have tiny grey stones, where natural ones are plain dirt but have the occasional large rocks), will function properly as walls, and drop as items when broken. They also blend with the generated walls.
