How to Fully Purify Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow from Your World
A step-by-step tutorial on cleaning up world biomes using the online map editor to achieve the 0% dryad status easily.
The Struggle of Biome Purification
Trying to get the "And Good Riddance!" achievement or making the Dryad NPC happy can be extremely difficult. Even a single block of Crimson or Corruption hidden deep in the underworld can slowly spread and re-infect your entire world. Using the map editor, you can purify your world in a fraction of the time it takes using Clentaminator.
Step 1: Inspect Biome Infection Statistics
- Load your world into Terraworld Editor.
- Open the **Data** dropdown and click **World Analysis** or use the analytics widget.
- Look at the **Biome Breakdown** section. It will display the exact percentage of Crimson, Corruption, Hallow, and Pure blocks. It also shows you the total block count for each.
Step 2: Locate Infected Blocks
To find where the evil blocks are hiding:
- Go to the **Search Panel** and click on the preset filters for **Crimson/Corruption**.
- This will scan the map and highlight infected blocks (such as Ebonstone, Crimstone, Ebonsand, Purple Ice, etc.).
- Zoom in on the highlighted areas to see exactly where they are situated, especially at the edges of the map or deep underground.
Step 3: Using the Brush Tool to Purify
We provide a dedicated edit brush to make tile replacement extremely fast:
- Click on the **Edit Mode** button to open the editor tools panel.
- Select the **Brush** tool. Adjust its size to cover a wide area (e.g., 20x20 or 50x50 tiles).
- Set the **Mode** to *Replace Tile*.
- In the *Target Tile* dropdown, select the infected block (e.g., Ebonstone). In the *Replacement Tile* dropdown, select the pure equivalent (e.g., Stone Block).
- Click and drag on the map over the infected zones. The editor will swap all matching blocks instantly!
- Repeat this for grass (Ebongrass -> Grass) and sand (Ebonsand -> Sand).
Step 4: Save the Purified World
Click on **Data -> Save Changes** to download the updated world file. Overwrite your local save and ask the Dryad in-game. You will now get your 100% pure world status!
