A Wood Platform allows vertical movement by the player, certain enemies, and NPCs, in both up and down directions. The player can go down through a Wood Platform by pressing the down key while standing on one. Wood Platforms allow the passage of falling water. Most ranged weapons will travel through Wood Platforms; the Grappling Hook and Ivy Whip will grab them.

Because of the high mobility a player has while on them, Wood Platforms can be used in a variety of ways: as a walkway, a fast bridge to cross pits, or for roof access that keeps most enemies from getting through. Also, since Books, Candles, Clay Pots and other Furniture can be placed on them (except for torches and Crystal Shards), they can be used as a shelving for decorative purposes, or to pack more pieces of furniture into a smaller space.

Notes

• Lava will destroy a wood platform, without leaving the item for pickup again, unless the platform has been placed directly at the surface of Water (in which case the platform will hold the Lava).

Bug: If you place a Wood Platform two blocks from a Wooden Door and then open the door in the direction of the platforms, the graphic for the platform will change to the alternate version. If you close the door, the platform graphic will stay as the alternate version.

Bug: If water is falling, it can get stuck inside a Wood Platform. This can make it difficult for the player to jump through it. It can be fixed by destroying the Platform.

Anomaly: Wood Platforms do not support the player when walking inverted on the ceiling while under the effects of the Gravitation Potion.
