Is there dirt in an underground corruption? If there is will it spread pre hardmode? If it can’t, I’ll just place sunflowers of both sides of it and dig trenches so it doesn’t reach my house



Best Answer

In prehardmode, it can only spread to dirt blocks and sand blocks, unlike hardmode where it could spread through stone and mud. There is a chance that at the bottom of a corruption chasm there is a patch of corrupted dirt and flower walls, but it cannot spread.

Can Corruption spread underground?

Not only does the rate of spread increase significantly, but the evil biomes will also spread through stone and vines, which means corruption or crimson will spread underground, not just on the surface. The rate of spreading is sped up as soon as you defeat the Wall of Flesh and enter Hardmode.

What prevents Corruption from spreading before Hardmode?

Pre-Hardmode the biomes can only spread through grass blocks and the Crimson thorny bushes. This means you can just build a stone wall on the edge of your biome if you want to stop it from spreading.
