Cultists won't spawn

[Dragon Rider]

So, I have defeated Plantera, Golem, the whole nine yards. Every boss in the game up to this point. Yet the cultists will not spawn. The temple is flat, the correct size, everything. It has been practically a month Terraria time but they still haven't spawned.

For the Cultists to spawn at the entrance to a Dungeon, the only requirements are that the bottom of the Dungeon entrance remains in place (or has been replaced with the same dimensions), that the roof is at a minimum of 10 blocks above the floor and a maximum of 13 blocks above and Skeletron has been defeated.

Also make sure if you get the cultists to spawn and defeat lunatic cultist, be prepared for the lunar events

[Dragon Rider]

All of those requirements have been met, yet they still wont spawn.

[Dragon Rider]

And I know about the lunar events.

[Nerdyswag806]

Well you need to keep checking because you most likely did mess up one of the requirements if they're not spawning

[Dragon Rider]

I mean, those are baseline as obvious as day requirements. The only other reason I can think of of them not spawning is that the world is corrupted. I don't see how that could be possible as I have no mods nor a world-editing program.

Show us the screenshot of your dungeon entrance, or invite me to check it myself

Yup that's definitely a normal temple, don't know what's wrong. Maybe there's something wrong with your actual world

I'm a bit late to the party, but if they're still not working...
From the wiki[terraria.gamepedia.com] - I'm going to assume none of those background tiles are player-placed, but consider checking. They won't spawn if events are happening or meteorite is too close, nor if you're loitering around that area and/or in the dungeon waiting for them.
It really shouldn't matter, but I might actually try clearing the dirt off the dungeon roof too. Seems weird it's still messed up, but the cultists sure are fickle...
I hope you get them working!

I've heard of a great terraria world-edit program called TEdit. I'm thinking about downloading it to force them to spawn, but I don't know how to use it obviously. Is there anyone by any chance that would know how to do it? (btw my friend who told me about TEdit says he doesn't know but simply checking the box saying you have defeated them does nothing)

Tedit might be able to help. It has an option to change the Old Man's spawnpoint (which doubles as the Cultists' spawnpoint), so you could set that to somewhere else. If all else fails, you could also use it to trigger the Lunar Event directly.

Alternatively, you could just get a mod like, say, cheat sheet and just spawn the cultist right there. Disable the mod right after if you want.
