Can Actuators unplace Demon Altars and Lihzahrd Altar?

[D.A.R.K.]

I saw a recently speed run and the player did that, he used Actuators to unplace Lihzahrd Altar. So I'm wondering, if it's possible to Actuators unplace Lihzahrd Altar, can it unplace Demon Altars as well? Thus my question...

Lihzard Altars work but I don't think Demon Altars do.
I can do a quick test for you. Give me 5-10minutes.

Not that it would have any use anyways. All altars destroyed by environmental causes don't spawn ores, unless the world is already in hardmode.

I saw Chippy do that in his recent Calamity playthrough

I could do that test as well, but I'm too lazy =(
I have a character to test stuff and I could create a Small World just for that.

The use would be place Demon Altar in the Crafting Station Room of my house, allowing me to craft stuff without having to find one around the world or inside Corruption. The same usage for Lihzahrd Altars, instead of going to the Temple to summon Golem I can do it in an area close to my house.

The problem there is the Calamity MOD, you don't know if Calamity could change that for some reason, that's why the best way to learn that is doing a test in a Vanilla World, somthing I'm too lazy to do, thanks for Atikos to do that for me.

Tested and Altars do not work in Vanilla.

The only way to get a Demon Altar in your house is to even build your house ontop of one or world edit spawn one in. Some mods also give spawn items that allow you to place demon altars if that's what you are looking for.

Let me guess... It destroys the same way as Pwnhammer does, right?

Demon (Blood) Altars can only be obtained as a placeable item, if cheated into the game. Else they just break and that's it.

The Altars do not get destroyed at all, similar to chests with items inside ontop of Actuated blocks. They will not break. Maybe in a previous version it worked because there was a duplication bug with Actuated chests. What was the date the speedrun video was posted?

Speedrun only shows Lihzahrd Altar being unplaced, not Demon.
Let me check, I can even send you the link.

I was referring to the Lihzarhd Altar, which can be moved with acutators in vanilla.

Lihzahrd Alter - yes
Demon Alter - no
