Notes

Tips

  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) It is a good idea to section off the Jungle before activating Hardmode, or the Jungle might quickly be overtaken by the evil biome (Corruption/Crimson) and eventually be eliminated. The evil biome converts Mud Blocks within a three-tile radius of any corrupted block to dirt, and grows Corrupt/Crimson grass on it. This means that simply digging a three-block wide tunnel around all sides of the Jungle will prevent the evil biome from spreading to it. Since background walls cannot spread the evil biome (though they may get converted themselves), it is unnecessary to remove any walls that cross that three-block gap. However, thorny bushes may grow as bridges across the tunnel for the evil biome to spread across, a longer-term tunnel would need to be at least fifteen blocks wide, since thorny bushes can grow up to six blocks in both Jungles and evil biomes. To learn more, see Biome spread.
    • However, it is very possible that, upon the defeat of the Wall of Flesh and activation of Hardmode, the "V" shape created by the evil biomes including the Corruption/Crimson will breach the tunnel that one has built to contain the evil. Therefore, the aboveground Jungle may likely still be infected. To curb this, it may be a wise idea to instead spread the Hallow between the Jungle and evil biome by simply using Holy Water (which is easily craftable upon the start of Hardmode). The Hallow cannot spread to the Jungle and will also block the Corruption and Crimson, making it a worthy alternative to digging a tunnel.
