the worst part of my story as that i built my house right next to the corruption
Ouch.
We're quite lucky to have not had anything reach our spawn-village yet. We've disconnected the area around us anyway to make sure we don't get any spread.
The Crimson is quickly becoming a problem though, with it spreading along 3 areas.
And our Hallow is almost entirely locked inside an Ice Biome, which is interesting, but does mean we don't get all the interesting creatures from the regular Hallow, or a Hallow Desert.
We might make a floating island however and Hallow it up, so we have somewhere to hunt things.
