To prevent corruption of a Jungle

[PrinceGK]

So I entered Hardmode and noticed corruption is really overtaking my jungle, how do I stop it completely?

[Blargo]

Clentaminator.

[GDN Dan]

clentaminator.

[HUNDIII]

Or dig like 5 blocks arround the corruption. Sadly, there are several pockets of corruption and hallowed generated in the world besides the two stripes after the WOF is defeated

Sooo yeah, the corruption is seeping into my underground jungle and I haven't got the Steampunk yet

It would take a long time but make a 3 or more block wide tunnle around the curruption. That is the only non-clentaminator method. Note that you could use bombs for the tunnle but it may destroy parts of the jungle.

One thing I do is be mindful which side of the world I spawn the wall of flesh. If my jungle is on the right, spawn him on the right and kite him to the left. When destroyed hallowed will be on the right and corruption/crimson on the left.
If Jungle is on the left, spawn the wall of flesh on the left and kite him to the right. And when destroyed Hallowed will be on the left and corruption/crimson on the right. Hallowed will not dry out the jungle like corruption/crimson.

I also put in vertical and horizontal shafts to segment the jungle to prevent wild fire spread should breaking a demon altar spawn a corruption/crimson in it.

Did just that, the Hallow is just left of some corruption, while my home and the Jungle Biome sit between 2 Corruptions creeping on me

Additional single random stone blocks will only be converted to hollow/corruption with a 66% chance upon smashing an altar. So you can end up without any additional pockets of hollow/corruption.

@OP: Dig an at least 3-block-wide hellevator on the side of the jungle, that borders to the corruption. You may also wanna smash the background walls inside that hellevator from the surface to the underground.

Wow tough break when the word gen puts corruption/crimson in your jungle to start with.
In a new world as soon as possible I dig trenches around my corruption/crimson to contain them. And surface areas I put a row of non-corruptable block to seal the edge of it to make sure grass doesnt grow spikes to jump the gaps. I usually like a clearance of 5-6 blocks and knock out corruptable walling such as stone or grass wall. I dont know if corrupted walls can corrupt blocks but I'm sure not going to let it try.


The steampunker can be gotten after a mech boss is beaten. The clenteminator she sells can convert corrupt/crimson back into purity, but dried out jungle just becomes grass lands when clenteminated. So containment to minimize spread definitely helps.
Good luck getting it under control.

It's doomed, I had someone trounce the Twins, but the corruption is about to take over my home and the underground jungle is about to hit critical, no one is spawning in and no one is respawning, my Hamadryad Estates is about to be the Withered Roots Chaeteu

Well, when stuff goes wrong, I normally don't approve of it but get items from another world and bring them there. If that is your main world download builder's workshop. Stuff like this I would deem cheat worthy since it breaks the game for you. You kinda need the jungle for plantera. The one other option is to rush plantera so you no longer need it and you can forget about saving the jungle.

I am in NO shape to be fighting Plantera, I've never beaten it before. I might spray some purity powder and plant some Hollow at Ground Zero

When in doubt... explode it all?

I'm afraid I'm a defensive type, if the game would allow it, I'd be a Cleric / Alchemist, someone who protects others. So, I want to preserve what I can and let it retain it's beauty, you should see the Hamadryad Estates, as much nature as possible is preserved on my side, while my friend's house is more artifical and built off of it.

Preserve the world? Not what I'd do but how about this. You said, "So, I want to preserve what I can and let it retain it's beauty," but curruption has no beauty so why not turn it to dust? You should really try it. Destroying everything is fun.

Anyway you should make more houses and hope the steampunk person comes. Make a bunny/fish statue farm for money, get the clemtaminator and a lot of ammo.

P.S. Could you screenshot your build?
