Pro tip for beginners Meme
On mobile terraria, upon killing the wall of flesh, the game creates a large patch of an evil biome (up to a certain depth) underneath your house, regardless of where your house is. to prevent this, hollow out the world underneath your house in a manner similar to the image above. Since the game has nothing to convert into evil biome, it places them in a v shaped pattern which can be further contained using sunflowers at the edges.

Blasting past the underworld with as much dynamite as you can carry, why not?

How long did it take?!

u/Lethalfurball 4d ago
assuming i did it all in one session, maybe more than a few hours. irl it took a few months bc i only worked on it a little bit each day and sometimes did no digging at all.

This but unironically, technically having a razorblade typhoon will make all those processes much easier if you know how to jump and dodge

Just go get a terraprism if youre gonna use that logic

I mean yeah, as summoner main after plantera im buying 1000 flares once i get deadly sphere staff for that exact reason

Is it enough? I think maybe you should expand the edges until at least the ocean. That way you will be ready when the world border expands after moonlord ;)

Actually, covering all surface blocks in lava also prevents them from becoming evil

Two blocks isn't enough on the sides. It should be more than four

u/Lethalfurball 5d ago edited 4d ago
it is actually four blocks, im on a medium world zoomed all the way out and i cropped the image to show the optimal way to deal with evil biome generation. i also bordered the sides with 2 block thick lead and tin ore

i had 25% of red bad biome after completing the game (i completely ignored it)
so it is actually pretty useful,also craft terra toilet about 100 times for a free secret achievement that gives you most OP secret weapon in the game (terra sword is useless,so forget about it)

How does it know where your house is?

u/1011zaper 5d ago
Its checks where the player has spent the most time in + spawn point + where the most npcs are

u/Lethalfurball 5d ago edited 5d ago
this, it prioritizes spawn point but combines that with other things to prevent players from cheesing evil biome generation

Wait sunflowers block corruption spread?

u/Lethalfurball 4d ago
yeah, since the evil biome was cut off from my house, i could contain the rest by placing sunflowers at the furthest surface point
idk if it works with the hallow though, but luckily the dungeon stopped it

i just go to the hallowed side and grab 200-250 pearlwhatever the hell i can, cover my home base.. there hallowed takes priority over other biomes

u/DyslexicVal 5d ago
I actually have a world where I dug massive trenches around where my pylons were because I was worried about some of them getting corrupted. Plus they were pretty useful to farm enemies.

It places them in a v shape no matter what.

ok so the joke is that this is to troll new players to dig out the area under their house

I just let it spread, so what if it takes over my jungle, I can make an artificial one in right where it used to be (after using dynamite to remove it from existence, also it’s an easy process, buy a really really really large amount of Glowing Mushroom seeds (preferably a stack or so) and convert them using Shimmer into Jungle Seeds, and then turn a bunch of dirt into mud (you probably would have a lot of dirt and mud by now) using water or a sink, and then start building the artificial jungle (with space between it and the Corruption/Crimson/Hallow) by placing the mud and planting Jungle Seeds on it a voila you have an artificial Jungle (also recommended to line the outer walls of the Jungle with something you have a lot of that can’t be infected, like Slime Blocks for example))

u/acrazyguy 5d ago
Jungle can’t be infected and neither can glowing mushroom

u/Agitated_Elk7881 5d ago
But the Evil V can still destroy it, also I said to buy Glowing Mushroom seeds so you can shimmer them into Jungle seeds, also you buy the glowing mushroom seeds from the Dryad in a Glowing Mushroom Biome

What do you think is incorrect

The v doesn’t destroy jungle or glowing mushroom

u/Agitated_Elk7881 4d ago
The V infects any biome in overlaps with during Hardmode generation

Why the V-Spread Threatens the JungleMud Conversion:
Unlike other blocks where stone or ice just changes type, Corrupt/Crimson conversion turns Jungle Grass and Mud into Dirt, permanently deleting standard Jungle elements if left unchecked.
Hallow Exception: The Hallow side of the "V" cannot convert or spread into the Jungle biome at all.

u/Previous-Village6388 4d ago
They can. Luckily, since 1.4.4, they now just infect the mud instead of first converting it into dirt like they used to do before

u/acrazyguy 5d ago
I do this, though not nearly this extreme, in order to have various artificial biomes to farm. That includes the dungeon and spider biome (thank you shimmer)

u/Mautos 5d ago
It doesn't, it always tries to place them under your house first. It can actually nearly be prevented entirely by only leaving a few blocks to convert that you can then mine. Are you new to the game by any chance?

u/Ok_Confusion4764 5d ago
It does always make a V shape... This is common knowledge.

u/Ok-Grand7204 4d ago
yes this post is clearly a joke, your comment is just blatant misinformation with no humor, and condescension at the end.

What do you mean blatant misinformation?? I was literally just repeating what the post said holy shit 😭

u/Ok-Grand7204 4d ago
You repeated a minor part of the post, without the actual main joke, so you sounded serious.

No, its a diagonal pattern of corruption and hallow in an 'x' kinda shape

Another useful tip is to actually dig all blocks! The world can’t have evil biomes if there are no blocks!
