If it's close enough to your NPCs, the reduction in enemy spawns will keep any mobs from showing up. You can create a Vile Mushroom farm using Corrupt Seeds. It is also possible to repeatedly create a world, cut down the many tall trees at the starting area, collect the wood then delete the world. If you have access to the jungle, then you can skip the acorns entirely, as Jungle trees grow automatically on the Jungle floor. Periodically 'mow the lawn' or cut the grass on your tree farm because it stops trees from growing in those places. The saplings must be spaced apart with 2 empty spaces on either side. A tree farm is just a flat area with acorns planted. To farm trees, you will need acorns which can be obtained by simply chopping down a tree. For this farm, you will need a Timer, some blocks, doors, wire, and Spiky Ball Traps. You can also make an automatic farm without the need for a pet or minion (seen above). You can leave the game running for a while and check back every once in a while to pick up the dropped items and gold. You will need to surround yourself with the block of your choosing and spawn the minion outside of your shield. Accessories and armor that increase minion numbers are also helpful and could help this farm work more efficiently.

You will need any type of solid block and any pet or minion that can fight enemies. This is also a great way to farm the chest Keys for the late game dungeon chests. This tactic is mostly for endgame players who just want to get items and gold.
