Here's a tip for those interested, build it in Pre-hardmode, the enemies are much more bearable. Also make sure to build it near the edge of the world, while "for the worthy" makes the Hallow and Corruption spread random, normal worlds make the two appear on a V shape, unless the corruption is already at your ocean, the chances of your farm getting infected are greatly reduced if not completely taken away, also if you're trying to farm Chaos Elementals, make sure to make the AFK spot unreachable to them, unless your playing a class that doesn't have them available, some Summons, Sentries, the Star Cloak (with enough defense and health regen) and the Vile Crystal Shard are great to speed up the killing the mobs, not allowing them to take over the mob cap, letting you farm a specific enemy more easily. Wishing y'all luck on future grinds!

You can also just build the farm within your sectioned off chunk underneath your house depending on how big you made it

Hey i was about to enter hardmde but thankfully I learned of the fact that the evil biome spreads, do you have any tips on how to stop it from spreading?

[@GAMMA_AF]

@@justyouraverageguy1000 Cut your world into different sections. You should have two tunnels going from one side of the world to the other. One right below the level of your current evil biome, and the other i.between that tunnel and hell. Then make a 6 wide tunnel from surface to hell in every important biome. Also cut a hole around your ocean, and around your house. Once you're in hard mode, and break some demon alters, assess the damage that the evil and holo has done on your map. Cut out what you need and enjoy hardmode.

For anyone making this farm, I have a few tips. To reduce spawn rates while building the farm, place peace candles and drink calming potions. If you didn't know, sunflowers also reduce spawnrates. Place 2 blocks of dirt and hit them with a staff/axe of regrowth to turn them into grass or place 2 grass seeds on the dirt (purchased from the Dryad), and place a sunflower on the grass. Invisibility potions also reduce spawn rates, but I personally like being able to see where I am at all times, but it's up to you. I'd recommend at least trying it before saying no to it, as reduced spawn rates will save your life during the creation of this farm. Measurements can get really annoying, so whenever I make this farm, I use this guide I made for myself to really help out. Maybe it'll help you too? : Take the blocks you will be using for the outline and split them into stacks of: 168, 48, 1, 50, 167, 84, and 84. Make sure these stacks are at the bottom of your inventory, and that they're all marked as favorite. Make sure that if you have more of those blocks separate from the stacks, keep them in your hotbar so if you break any of those blocks, they'll go back into the main stack in your hotbar and not one of your important ones that will be used for the outline of the farm. Place 168 blocks horizontally on the bottom of your farm. ON TOP of that final 168th block, place another 48 vertically. Place one more block ON TOP of that 48th block, and place torches on its side to mark it, as this block is your halfway point. It is exactly in the middle vertically! This will SIGNIFICANTLY help later on to know this now. Place 50 more blocks vertically on top of that halfway point block. Now we have the outline pretty much done. Simply fill in the rest of it (by placing 167 more blocks horizontally, and the remaining vertical blocks. Once you're ready to place that layer in the middle where the mobs will be spawning, remember that torch marked block? Yeah, we're going to be using that now. As you start building the bridge, a TON of enemies will be spawning and attacking you. Simply drink a gravitation potion and build the bridge upside down, and the mobs will be on the other side of the platform and unable to get you. Place 84 blocks horizontally, and place a torch on top of it. Place 1 more block next to it and put a torch on top of that one, and fill in the remaining 83 blocks. Those two blocks with torches on them are in the center of the farm horizontally. And there you go! That's how I do the outline without any mistakes, and without having to think too hard about it. Remember to use luck boosting items, such as garden gnomes, and any luck boosting accessories. The lucky horseshoe found on sky islands (and any other version of it such as the lucky horseshoe balloon) along with the lucky coin from the Pirate Invasion both increase your luck and they stack with each other to get even greater luck. If you're farming chaos elementals, remember they and enchanted swords can get into your safe area and kill you. And you can't just respawn, since there won't be any background walls behind you. To counteract this, you can simply just use a summoners build and summon minions to protect you, and place a campfire and heart lantern to help with regeneration if the enemies ever hurt you. You can also equip a spore sac from Plantera to help, and it will also help you get some rare banners, such as mimic and nymph banners. Otherwise, just make a nights edge and equip feral claws and make sure it's always swinging as it goes around in a circle around you, protecting you from the enemies. Despite what Waffle said, I'm 99.9999% sure that being grappled isn't enough to let chaos elementals spawn. An easy solution for this is to equip frog legs (you get them from fishing) and make sure you're constantly holding down the jump button. If you're using a keyboard, put something heavy on the spacebar. If you're using a controller, get a few rubber bands and a coin. Place the coin the jump button and wrap the rubber bands around the controller in a way that pins down the coin. This also works on the "attack" button if you're using Nights Edge, though for this you don't need another coin. Good luck with your farm (:

I love how your sense of humor still manages to find its way in this legitimate tutorial.

[@Souptist]

I actually improved this design in a few small ways -When making sure mobs can't spawn below, I walled the area off instead of using lava. I then placed a bunch of platforms down there, along with campfires and heart lanterns. Now if you convert the area into Hallow or Corruption/Crimson you have a Biome Mimic arena. -You can wire up dart traps inside the lava pit to kill stuff faster -You can add exactly the amount of blocks needed to make it Underground Hallow/Corruption/Crismon, then remove/place one to essentially turn them on/off. This is handy to prevent Biome mimics from killing your AFK session.

[@Subject_Keter]

Also the Cleminator can be used to convert your massive block to change the biome and evils. And no harm in making a fishing station in your Safety box.

[@Zsomi8]

I'm pretty sure you can't do point 3. It does work with desert and snow, you need 1499+1 blocks for those. But the reason it doesn't work with evil biomes and hallow is because they cancel each other out. You need 300 blocks for corruption and crimson and 125 for hallow, but every hallow block placed will substract 1 from the evil biome. So unfortunately either you need to swap out 300 blocks by hand or get a clentaminator and place 300 regular stone to convert later.

[@rafa_br34]

I think the biome mimic arena is not needed, if you have the shield of cthulhu, lightning boots, and a reasonably decent weapon(minishark, magic dagger, shadowflame knife, etc) it's pretty easy to kill them.

[@stevetopop2028]

@Zsomi8 point 3 is possible, For desert & snow make a large block sandstone/ice & use activators to pass able & the game will treating like normal, you can even use the cleminator to freely swap corruption/hallow/pure biomes & hybrids at will.

A couple things to make this farm a lot better: 1. Use a garden gnome and correct biome torches for increased luck (use bone torches bought from the skeleton merchant in normal caverns, and incorrect torches cancel out the effect). Increased luck means better loot, more money, and rarer enemies will spawn more often 2. Make sure to use a treasure magnet to collect the souls 3. If you want to use this to farm the rod of discord make sure you are continuously moving because chaos elementals don’t spawn if your standing still or not using items for more than 5 seconds. Flying mounts can do this. Auto jump from a frog leg, or a grappling hook, but grappling hooks only last 10 minutes.

[@cowserthekhelinace]

I highly recommend Granite as the uncorruptible block of choice. Not only are Granite biomes fairly large and easy to excavate into the farm, but the Golems and Elementals have 3 drops in particular that make it very worth it, especially in PreHardmode: 1. Night Vision Helmets: this lets you instantly craft the Ultrabright Helmet, which can be used to great effect in your Mining Loadout with the rest of the Mining Armor. They also sell decently after the first one. 2. Geodes: for the big bucks, Geodes are an item you can toss to get tons of Gems like Amethysts, Rubies, and Diamonds, which you can use for things like Gem Weapons, King Slime summons, etc., but they're very valuable to just straight up sell after slamming them into a wall. 3. Spaghetti: Spaghetti gives you a MAJOR improvement to all stats for 8 minutes, which is about the same amount of time as most buff potions, especially combat potions. And you're gonna be getting about as much Spaghetti as a Hotel Mario KZbin Poop.

Would reccommend you also use a minecart under the length of the volcano to collect drops remotely so you can afk, as well as a star veil (once you've spent a bit of time in the farm active, waiting for those to drop), any Honey Comb or upgrade, band of regen, heart lantern, campfire, and possibly bother with warding accessories if in master mode. This should help you avoid death from chaos elementals if you don't feel like spawn-proofing your box from them reaching you. Could also be helpful to create a pillar of blocks, one thick on each edge at the top of your volcano, and hammer platforms once on the outward facing edges (try this yourself outside of the farm first if you're not familiar with hoiking and block phasing) and it should keep the lovely bat friends inside the salsa trench for you :) It may do you well do suspend extra lava pockets within bubble block (sold by party girl in hardmode) containers crawling up the shaft to kill any lingering bats in the test tube.

[@mithrilsq]

Also disregard all the talk about boosting defense to make this design work afk for Chaos Elementals. Unbeknownst to me before, minecarts actually don't count as movement to spawn them in. Forget the over-engineering, you may as well macro your grapple button to keep the 10 minute timer going, or weigh down your left mouse button with an autoswing weapon. Chaos Elementals opt for the closer the better, but cannot end up within 4 blocks of your location so just suspend your own afk point over a lava trap.

100% recommended. When I made this, it worked very efficiently. Sadly, the jungle blocks actually messed up the farm instead of helping it, because it made those one shot miniature jungle bats spawn instead of anything else, so the jungle blocks aren't recommended. Even then, the farm works extremely perfectly for crimson and corruption, but if your doing hallowed you have to keep in mind the illuminate bats and slimes are fire proof and they won't get as damaged by the lava, not to mention they both have a lot more health than the normal bats. Lastly, I would suggest using bubble blocks to place that extra layer of lava above the main lava pit, so the bats run into the lava no matter what

[@Nekomon42]

I know it's been a month, but the lava proof enemies are one reason why doing the first Tier of Old Ones Army is a good idea. Since it lets you use the Tavernkeep's sentry weapons outside of the event. Just place a lightning aura inside the volcano pit every now and then and it helps speed up killing things.

[@victortillamillamonster4083]

I made some of these in the dungeon and learned some very important lessons. First - Choose the correct location in the dungeon regarding background walls. To get desired enemies to spawn. Second- Whatever you do don't destroy the background walls directly under the trap, where you will stand for the farm.The Dungeon biome will dissapear and you cannot create it again. Third - I stay submerged in honey next to a heart statue and when spirts or casters appear i dash out of the way and use summons and weapons to take care of them. Obviously a campfire and heart lantern as well. Fourth - I keep enough vertical space to use the Deadalus Stormbow to more quickly kill paladins. Also I used spear traps and flame and dart traps in the trap. Fifth - You can place dirt blocks on top of dungeon bricks to prevent Dungeon mobs spawning there. Sixth - This one aint confirmed yet but im testing it out. If you get rid the the very bottom sliver of natural dungeon wall directly where you are standing. Small enough to where you don't eliminate the dungeon biome from despawning. It seems to prevent casters from teleporting under your trap. This works well for all casters except the volcano one. It's not AFK but i get crazy good runs in and plenty of loot. It's a huge pain to setup though so.... Seventh - Set it all up Pre hardmode if you can.

Big brain strat for anyone needing it, when measuring a perimeter in this game just sort out a stack of blocks as long as you need one edge to be, and place that stack. For this one I would do a 99 block stack, then a 167 block. I'd go up, then across. Then I'd go across from the bottom the same way, and pillar up. Currently picking my blocks for the farm.

Pro farm Chaos Elementals without having to worry about dying to Mimics, simply get the Frog Leg accessory as it lets you auto jump and set your spawn right underneath the lava. This means even if you die you immediately respawn and get back to farming.

@1:10 instead of using the ruler just pick a non corruptible block and make 4 stacks of it two of them 168 and two of them 99 then just outline as you go so you know exactly how many blocks. You can even split those into 6 stacks so you can mark the center point vertically and horizontally.

I would build a tower in the middle of the farm and a short tunnel to pick up the loot left and right of the tower.

GOOD TIP: Build an underground NPC Village near where you're going to build your farm before you start building, because you get a ton of Gem Critters which you can shimmer into gems during the building process But be warned: NPCs will lower spawn rates in your farm, so you should place a shadow candle (Made with a Torch and 3 evil bars with ecto mist) in your farm

[@rewerstfd]

NPCs will cause spawn rates to go down.

[@SomeRand0mNerd]

@@rewerstfd i forgot to edit with the extra bit of advice of putting a shadow candle in your farm when you’re done

[@bestwaifuenterprise8448]

Tip: you can also Build this in pre hardmode so that you won't die alot and enemies are less annoying when you build the farm.

[@lukes1323]

Have a question, what is the point of the bottom half of the the farm

[@idkhowtotalk1985]

@@lukes1323 it should be either empty or full of blocks and empty is easier to make

[@alison6182]

@@lukes1323 Idk the exact rule, but it has to do with the amount of enemies that will spawn around the player at one time. You want to make sure all of the possible blocks where enemies have a chance to spawn will go into the farm. If an enemy spawns down there and you're not there to kill it, it's actively taking place of another enemy that could spawn on your farm. So you either kill them fast with the lava or you don't allow them to spawn by making it like a house with full walls

1.4.4 Now we have shimmer, which helps greatly with farming. How? Certain walls for biomes can be turned into unsecured walls Basically most will spawn the specific enemies that spawn in the biome. Spider walls need to be placed off screen.

not sure if im too late but try getting any summon that can go through walls to kill them. The simplest obtainable summon I can think of is the blade staff from queen slime. also get the gold ring or its upgrades and equip it to get more money and range to pick up items

[@negativeiquser5295]

additional tips: use dungeon bricks so the border doesn't get blown up, as well as being able to create a dungeon biome if you're close enough to the actual dungeon. graveyards and water candles: no explanation needed. If you're grinding for vampire knives, then put down a heart statue to take care of floaty grosses.

[@richardbudge9416]

Something I've found: if you add an inverted pyramid shape on the bottom of the bat lava pool higher up, you not only have enough room to get a teleporter up there for easy loot, but also the bats and other flying enemies will glide right into the botton lava, and will usually get stuck.

[@ItsThronglinTime]

If you make one of these in a granite biome, the enemies can drop geodes, which give random gems, which you can sell, so therefore granite biome = more money. Edit: the granite enemies take up spawn slots, thus leading to less biome-type enemies, so it would take longer to get the rod of discord or other enemy-specific drops. This is the same for mimics, which drop lots of gold; so only really do this if you don't care about having less biome-specific enemies and mimics.

[@treymtz]

Sentries and Minions and the accessory that is Bone Helm should aid in keeping you safe for afking. The Bone Helm is gotten from Deerclops, an early game boss. Also a great accessory for fishing. You can save your AFK loadout as one of your 3 swappable gears so you don't have to go manually put everything a way each time or equip it when you are frequently grinding.

[@SuryaKGhosh]

Something very important but not that talked about that i realised after making such a farm was , it doesn't matter what biome it is for the enemies to spawn (biome still matters for the souls and keys) but rather the enemies depend on the block they spawn on Using this info i made a mob farm that gives me crimson desert / hollow desert / underground crimson / underground hollow / jungle / ice biome enemies all in one , and i made it so i can switch between hallow and crimson for the souls

As a suggestion, you can also just fill in holes on the bottom portion with walls, instead of blowing everything up. Then bats and other mobs can spawn down there. Makes the farm more efficient.

[@guyguyson8165]

if you have corruption in hardmode the little guys who latch onto blocks and shoot cursed flames will fill up the mob cap and make you sad

[@Jenna_Talia]

Big tip: Bring a calming potion, a sunflower and a peace candle. Maybe even move NPCs in nearby. The enemy spawn rates will drive you utterly insane if you don't. A summon and sentry weapon might also be wise because it's added DPS that allows you to continue getting shit done, even if just for a moment. If you are playing as a summoner then you might not even need to worry about all this so long as your summons don't fuck off and attack an enemy at the edge of the screen.
