Isolate the crimson of my world in Terraria


Hi, I haven't entered hard mode yet, and I've been isolating the Crimson as shown in the picture. I made the tunnels 4 blocks wide, removing the walls and placing solid blocks on the sides, which I think is fine. My question is whether the curse can spread at the bottom of the tunnel. I understand that caves and underground openings help prevent it from spreading, but I'm new to Terraria and would appreciate any help and clarification on this.

    On a more helpful note, in hardmode the world creates a v shape across the world and puts the world evil there, so, isolating crimson is not worth it before hardmode

    I dont know why everyone mentions the V like this doesnt still help. 

    id recommend adding some layered rectangle tunnels around spawn, and a bunch of tunnels spread across the world, going all the way down to the bottom. done correctly, this blocks off the V from spreading outside the bounds of the farthest vertical slice and keeps your spawn area safe. 

    do note that large deserts (the one with the unique underground, theres only one per world) are like evil biome petri dishes so you should put downward tunnels on either side, through the middle, etc. the V is very likely to hit it so its best to put tunnels between the outer ones if you want to preserve any of it

    If that’s 3 wide with no grass (any other block is fine so long as it’s not grass), it’ll stop *that specific patch* of Crimson from spreading.

    It won’t do anything to stop the Biome V (nothing does).

    Don’t worry about biome spread until you have a Clentaminator. At most, do this around areas you want biomes to stay *out* of, rather than around areas you want biomes staying *in*.

    Background walls do not spread biomes and do not need to be removed.
