Platforms are an alternative to blocks that can be walked on, but which also allow movement through the space they occupy. The player normally stands and walks on platforms as if they were ordinary blocks. Players can move down through a platform by pressing the

▼ Down

key while standing on one. Players can also walk or jump horizontally through the space occupied by platforms, only treating the platform as "solid" when landing on them from above.

Walking enemies can similarly walk on or pass through platforms. Flying enemies like bats will fly up through them, but not down. Other enemies, including harpies, ignore them entirely. NPCs will always climb up platforms.

Weapons and their projectiles will travel through Platforms. Any hook will grab them, but grappling while attached to the platform will only re-grapple it. Liquids flow through platforms, and lava will destroy most platforms upon contact. Sand will be supported by platforms.

Because of the high mobility a player has while on them, platforms can be used in a variety of ways: as a bridge across gaps that players can descend through without destroying, for roof access that keeps some enemies from getting through, or to create a fighting area above most enemies that players can fire down through while keeping out of reach of enemies, or Bosses. Also, since Piggy Banks, Chests, Crafting Stations and most other Furniture can be placed on them (except for torches, gems, and Crystal Shards — prior to the 1.3 update on PC), they can be used as a shelving to pack furniture into a confined space without inhibiting player movement.

A Bottle (or similar) can be placed on a platform and used as a Placed Bottle for crafting Potions.

Notes

• Platforms can be changed to stairs or lined up with the bottom half of the tile by hitting them with a Hammer.
• Even though platforms can occupy the top or bottom half of a block space, you cannot have two platforms in the same space (top half on bottom half).
• Striking 3 times with a hammer will lower the platform to its bottom position. In this lowered position, it is possible to hang banners from platforms.
• When placing furniture on platforms, the platforms must be in their top position (the default position when first placed).
• Nearly all platform variants are functionally identical, and are differentiated only by their appearance and their crafting recipes. Obsidian Platforms are one exception, in that they do not break upon contact with lava the way most platforms do, although they will still disintegrate if dropped or thrown into it.
• Platforms can be used to prevent enemies from spawning (see Guide:Gardening).
• Wraiths cannot fly up using platforms but are able to hover on top of them.
• The player will fall through platforms while in a minecart.
• Hammering a platform 3 times (as seen earlier) will allow the player to place any hanging items (chandliers, lanterns, banners, ect.) but will remove the access to place furniture on top (tables, chairs, workbenches, ect.).
