Ambient objects

From Terraria Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This article is about purely decorative background objects. For the full list of background objects, including those that drop items, see Objects.
For the non-interactive ambient objects that are part of the background, see Ambient entities.

Throughout most biomes and layers, various ambient objects are randomly scattered on world creation. These are naturally-placed background objects that can be broken with a pickaxe, drill, or explosive, but otherwise cause no effects, and do not drop items. They function primarily as visual ambiance and do not regenerate once broken, with the exception of icicles.

Ambient objects cannot be collected by the player, and unlike several other naturally-generating objects, cannot be crafted with the help of Ecto Mist. However, the Rubblemaker can be used to place ambient objects.

Destroying certain ambient objects has a 1/6 (16.67%) chance to spawn a Worm that jumps out of the object and can be collected with a Bug Net. In Graveyard biomes, Maggots are spawned instead. No Worm or Maggot will be spawned if there are already 5 or more Worms/Maggots present in the world. Once this check is passed, there is a 1/400 (0.25%) chance for a Worm to be replaced by a Gold Worm.[1]

Types

Stalactites and stalagmites

These ambient objects will never spawn critters when destroyed.
