| - The Corruption layer is, as of current, the deepest layer in the game, being located below the Lava layer. Its foundation is made of unbreakable glassy violet blocks called "End of the World" on altitude 0 that can currently not be mined/pulled. To get to this layer, players should at least be in possession of a Diamond Mining Cell (or a Lumite Mining Cell), as corrupted blocks can't be mined ("pulled") by anything less. Both Power Cells will lose durability when pulling corrupted blocks. By digging downwards through the Lava layer players can reach the black "ceiling" of the Corruption layer that is made of Corrupted Stone, Corrupted Dirt and also a bit of Corrupted Wood. Occasionally Diamond Ore and even the rare Lumite Ore can be discovered amongst these solid corrupted blocks. Digging further down players will find that the Corruption layer is basically a giant cave with a lot of empty space between the "ceiling" and the floor. Corrupted Stone forms many stalactites "hanging" down, and here or there it even shapes larger solid cave-walls between the corrupted ceiling and the ground deeper below. The floor of the Corruption layer that spans over 10,240x10,240 blocks widthwise, is covered mainly with bright violet Corrupted Water and low black islands as well as stalacmite-like pillars of Corrupted Stone mixed with Corrupted Dirt in between, speckled with many corrupted trees made of blackish Corrupted Wood and magenta-colored Corrupted Leaves; like a giant black-and-violet magic swamp shrouded in darkness. Corrupted Wood forms a web of roots all over the ground (even underwater) and also reaches its long branches all over the ceiling, while occasionally both are connected by stems of 1 block in width connecting the floor with the ceiling of this giant cave. Many small treetops grow from the wooden web, some half-covered by Corrupted Water, some hanging upside down from the darkness above. A few cataracts of liquid Lava might be seen flowing down from the Lava layer into the Corrupted Water or onto one of the black islands. In the slightly violet darkness of this layer Lumite Ore glitters here and there like small patches made of friendly stars from the ceiling, from the ground, peeking out of cave-walls or even from under the poisonous-colored water. Perhaps a rare slightly opened Diamond Treasure Chest also exhibits its own violet glow in the shape of a horizontal line somewhere in the darkness. If purified (either by Purification Bombs or Healing Beacons), Corrupted trees from the Corruption layer will turn into Cragwood with Cragwood Leaves, Corrupted Stone will turn into ordinary grey Stone, Corrupted Dirt into common Dirt and Corrupted Water into healing Mineral Water. Corrupted Grass can not be found anywhere on the Corruption layer (despite its tooltip), instead this can only be made by players if they corrupt ordinary green Grass (it does not work with Dead Grass nor Savannah Grass yet (as of R27 in January 2016). Also Corrupted Ashenwood, Corrupted Elderwood, Corrupted Ashenwood Leaves and Corrupted Elderwood Leaves can only be made by players and do not occur "naturally". While all Wood and most Leaves can be corrupted, most of them will turn into Cragwood and Cragwood Leaves if purified again.
