What is the Best Way to Cleanse Your World in Terraria?

The best way to cleanse your world in Terraria is to use a Clentaminator or Terraformer, which are essential tools for purifying or converting biomes, and to dig multiple Hellevators with a horizontal distance of 120 or 190 tiles between each other, then glide down each one using Wings or a Featherfall Potion, while spraying both sides with the desired solution. This method allows for efficient and thorough purification of the world, especially when combined with Biome Sight Potions to help locate remaining Corruption, Crimson, or Hallow areas.

Understanding the Cleansing Process

To effectively cleanse your world, it’s crucial to understand the different biomes and how they interact. The Corruption and Crimson are considered evil biomes that can spread and take over other areas, while the Hallow is a more neutral biome that can also spread but is generally less harmful.

Biome Conversion

Converting biomes can be done using the Clentaminator or Terraformer, which can apply different solutions to change the biome of an area. The Clentaminator is generally faster and more efficient, but the Terraformer has a longer range and can be more effective for larger areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do you stop evil biomes from spreading in Terraria? You need to dig a surrounding tunnel that is at least three blocks wide, although we recommend going for six, just to be safe, and imagine you’re drawing a circle around your Corruption or Crimson biome, this trench will prevent the affected blocks from spreading past it.
2. Do sunflowers stop corruption? Sunflowers provide the following functions: The two tiles directly underneath them cannot become Corrupted, Crimsoned, or Hallowed, even in Hardmode, in some cases, this can prevent Corrupted and Crimson grass from spreading sideways.

8. Should I break more than 3 demon altars? Six is normally best for maximum amount of ore balanced against random infection, 3 would reduce the amount of infection, but you might struggle to find enough ore.
9. How many Crimson Altars should I break? I recommend 6 or 9, that’ll give you a good amount of ore without going overboard with biome spread, I usually do 9, but you can do more if you have already sectioned off your world or simply don’t care.
10. What happens if you break more than 3 demon altars? By destroying more Altars, your world will get more of the new ores, but every 4th Altar spawns fewer ores than before.
11. Do demon altars count as evil? They are not counted, it took me awhile finding that last chunk, explored all around the natural spawn points of corruption, used the Clentaminator with Green Solution and just hosed down every bit of screen space I could find.
