Can Pearlstone Bricks halt the spread of the Evil?

[The Grimwar]

And if it does, do I need to make Pearlstone Brick Walls to stop it from spreading to wall tiles?

if you want to contain the corruption or the crimson you have to make a 3 block wide hole, fill it with any non corruptable blocks, and yes if you are in the desert you have to break the walls

Pearlstone bricks cannot spread the hallow so no, they do not halt corruption/crimson, if you want to stop it, then make a 3 wide gap from an un-corrupted biome and an corrupted biome, all the way from the sky to hell, and break all the walls in the gap

Pearlstone bricks can be corrupted? Man, that sucks!

Speaking of, I'd really like some assistance when it comes to getting a Hallow Biome, for whatever reason it's in the Jungle! I can't make Holy Water to spread the Hallow to a specific area because there's no valid place for pixies to spawn!

They can’t be corrupted, most blocks can’t. Only the hallow ‘corrupting’ blocks really stop corruption (so does chlorophyte), the rest just make a good filler for holes to stop vines forming.

it doesnt have to be from surface to underworld, just anywhere where it cant spread. for example if you make a wall and theres some stone below which can spread over to the other side then get rid of that not a whole chunk of the world

No, there is a limited range to the background walls from a source block.

But background walls can't spread to blocks. Alucard made a video of that but I forgot to save the link. And walls can't spread more than 3 away from the source block.

Pearlstone bricks can't be corrupted. Only Dirt, Stone, Ice, Sand, Sandstone and Hard Sandstone can be converted. And Mud turns to dirt.

You can buy Hallow seeds from the Dryad, plant them where you want some hallow.

Pearlstone bricks are not a spreading block, but Pearlstone Blocks are. No "crafted" block will spread or be infected. Ebonstone Bricks for example don't spread. Nethier does Demonite Bricks or Leison Blocks .

You don't need to fill the gap or do it from top to bottom.

There is no need to fill the gap unless the corrupted side is dirt with grass on it. You can just as well place some platforms or rope to stop thorns from growing.

The best way to do it is to simply protect the areas you want to remain pure.

what is the easiest way to uncorrupt?
