Although nominally a two-dimensional world, there are three "layers" of depth in ''The Blockheads'': foreground, midground, back wall, and sky. The back wall area sits between the midground (where crafting surfaces exist) and the sky. | |||
==Bedrock== | |||
Bedrock is a special instance of a filled back wall. Always appearing as stone, bedrock occurs below the dirt and sand comprising the surface of the world where stone and ores begin. | |||
==Adding and Removing== | |||
The back wall space is filled when a block is in the foreground, a solid block is placed no more than ten blocks above another solid block, or bedrock is exposed; the type of back wall material will be determined by the type of block used. | |||
With the exception of bedrock, if all overhead solid blocks above a filled back wall are removed, the back wall fill will disappear and be replaced with air. | |||
As of [[Game updates/20141119|version 1.6]], back walls can be removed individually. Even bedrock back walls can be removed using a pickaxe. They can be restored by placing and then removing a solid block in the appropriate space; the type of back wall material will be determined by the type of block used. | |||
==Use== | |||
Back walls allow the placement of most crafting surfaces, decorations, utility items, and blocks without them having to be directly on or beside solid blocks. | |||
Daylight is reduced by the presence of back walls. Rain and snow are also blocked, making a back wall an important part of a shelter. | |||
