Hazards are notable features of world generation that add dangerous features to the landscape. Hazardous landmarks often include monster spawners or are traps by their nature. While potentially dangerous to the unwary, most Hazards are paired with Loot, resources, or are even needed for progression.

Thaumcraft

Tainted Land

Tainted Land is a special biome modifier added by Thaumcraft as part of world generation. Like Eerie and Magical Forest, Tainted Lands overrides the local biome. It actively transforms and spreads tainted blocks, decaying any living or organic matter. Stopped only by water or empty voids. Most natrual Tainted Land biomes will have a Tainted Node somewhere nearby. Contact with tainted blocks or even picking up tainted items can inflict the 'Taint Poison' effect that causes damage over time and can infect mobs it kills, spawning more powerful tainted versions.

Tainted Land is extremely hard to eradicate once established. Crusted Taint is slow to break, and the liquified version Flux Goo needs to be washed away with a water bucket. It can be kept at bay by a line of Silverwood trees with Pure nodes, which will stop the spread, and the natural biome reverted with Ethereal Blooms. However any remaining Fibrous Taint or tainted blocks will reinfect the area if not completely removed.

Webbed Greatwood

Greatwood trees are a fairly common sight, but rarely they may spawn with cobwebs hanging from the lower branches. This is a warning that a nest of Cave Spiders has made this tree their home. Approaching a webbed Greatwood will activate the Cave Spider spawner below its trunk. For the brave or well-equipped, there is also a chest of treasure to loot. These chests contain mostly mid-tier metal ingots and gems.

Hungry Node

Loose blocks, a mysteriously growing crater and mobs being tossed up into the air are all signs of a Hungry Node. This destructive node pulls in and consumes anything that gets within a fifteen block radius, potentially increasing its primal aspects in the process. Entities in contact with a Hungry Node take void damage. There are very few blocks a Hungry Node will not destroy, such as Obsidian and warded blocks. Being mostly invisible except for its effects, the Hungry Node is one of the more dangerous hazards; thankfully it's also one of the rarest. Experienced Thaumaturges can manipulate a captive Hungry Node.

  • A garden biome being overtaken by dark purple taint. Pools of bright purple liquid taint dot the land beside dark fiberious taint blocks.

    Tainted Land

  • A tall 2x2 trunk Greatwood tree with cobwebs hanging from the bottom leaf blocks. The background has normal sized trees in fall leaf colors.

    Webbed Greatwood

  • Small dirt pit below a 2x2 Greatwood tree with a cave spider spawner block emitting flame particle effects. There is an oak chest below the spawner.

    Greatwood Spawner

  • A roughly circular jagged pit of exposed grey and black stone. The background is desert and grass with stunted trees. Loose blocks are visible in the foreground, and a small glowing yellow sphere is in the center of the image.

    Hungry Node

Eldritch Ring

This structure is comprised of an Eldritch Obelisk, with a platform of Obsidian Tile and Obsidian capped with Eldritch Tiles. The center contains a Sinister Node that slowly converts the local biome to Eerie and spawn Infernal Furious Zombies. It may generate with a pair of Crimson Banners and Crimson Cultists or spawn Eldritch Guardians, both hostile.

Obsidian Totem

This small 1x1 pillar of obsidian has a Sinister Node just like the larger structures, and thus also spawns Infernal Furious Zombies when a player is in range and spreads Eerie biome. The node is contained in the top-most obsidian block.

Hilltop Stones

This obsidian structure looks similar to an Eldritch Ring on JourneyMap, but instead of banners and a floating obelisk it has a ring of small obsidian pillars decorated with vines. The center has a chest of loot and a Sinister Node. Below the block of obsidian the chest is on is a Wisp spawner, the only natural way to get Wisps outside of the Nether. All Wisps spawn Infernal and in combination with Furious Zombies from the node.

  • A dark purple obsidian platform with a floating obelisk. The surrounding forested terrain is a very dark green.

    Eldritch Ring and Eerie Biome

  • Dark purple obsidian platform with a floating pillar in the middle. Two red banners with gold emblems flank it. The background is a lush forest.

    Eldritch Ring with Banners

  • A five block tall, dark purple obsidian pillar with a node in the top block. The surrounding grass is dark green, with a sandy desert and stunted trees in the background.

    Obsidian Totem

  • A dark purple obsidian platform with matching pillars overgrown with vines. An oak chest sits in the center, with vivid green grass and pinkish brown mangrove trees in the background.

    Hilltop Stones

Witchery

Stone Circle

Stone Circles generate at high altitudes under open sky, accompanied by a Coven Witch. The center well has a hidden Dispenser with mineshaft table loot. Below two opposite diagonal corners of the well are a pair of Witch spawners, making this an excellent place to create a simple mob farm.

Wicker Man

A vaguely humanoid structure made of Hay Bales, Wicker Man structures are placed during world generation along with a ring of flowers and a single spawner below.

  • A hollow circle of stone arches with cobwebs, with a well in the middle. A Witchery Coven Witch stands in the center with dark purple robes and a black pointed hat. The background is short trees, sand and grass.

    Stone Circle & Coven Witch

  • A hollow stone circle of arches with two diagonal corner blocks of the well removed, exposing Witch spawners with flickering flames.

    Witch Spawners

  • A nine block tall humanoid formation of dark yellow hay bales. Below its feet is an exposed Skeleton spawner. The background is a dull green grassland with sand and stunted trees.

    Wicker Man & Spawner

Biomes o' Plenty

Quicksand

This slightly darker golden yellow sand block is a natural trap. Entities in contact with quicksand cannot jump, are pulled downwards and significantly slowed. If the quicksand is only one block deep this is merely an annoyance, but two or more blocks can suffocate and kill. Keep a shovel at hand as it's the only way to quickly remove quicksand blocks. Quicksand is most common in desert biomes and lush jungles, where it's far easier to spot.

Poisonous Liquid

Pools of poisonous liquid only generate in SWAMP tagged biomes. They are easy to distinguish by the dull purple colour and blotchy surface pattern, except in Mystic Groves which have similar purple water that is harmless. Poison can be collected in a metal bucket, and is non-renewable. Contact inflicts Hunger and Poison debuffs.

Poison Ivy

This innocuous looking plant can be found rarely in most Biomes o' Plenty biomes with lots of trees. Poison Ivy blends in well amongst other ground cover sprites like grass and ferns. Any entity that comes into contact with it will be poisoned. It can be collected with shears, and occasionally emits green potion particles.

  • Grassy foreground with darker yellow quicksand, center. The gently rising hill is normal sand, with a few stunted trees on the right.

    Quicksand

  • A sheep glitched all black due to being partially submerged in quicksand. Another white sheep stands nearby with a chicken on the left.

    Natural animal trap

  • Four block tall, darker yellow quicksand blocks surrounded by sand, sandstone and dirt.

    Quicksand cross-section

  • A grey and cyan stained clay cave with greyish purple fluid pool.

    Poisonous Liquid

  • A top down view of a cyan hued forest, with a reddish purple water pool in the upper left and a greyish purple poison pool bottom right.

    Poison, bottom right, in Mystic Grove

  • Poison Ivy
