Also, since Piggy Banks, Chests, crafting stations and most other furniture can be placed on them like on ordinary blocks (exceptions include gems and Crystal Shards), they can be used as a shelving to pack furniture into a confined space without restricting player movement.ДЄ platform has four distinct positions, which can be cycled through by hitting it with a hammer, similarly to an ordinary block:

Gravity-affected blocks like Sand will be supported by platforms.Д«ecause of the high mobility provided by platforms, they 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. Liquids flow through platforms, and lava will destroy all platforms upon contact, with the exception of Obsidian and Stone Platforms. Weapons and their projectiles will travel through platforms. Other enemies, including Harpies, ignore them entirely. Flying enemies like bats will fly up through them, but not down.

Walking enemies can similarly walk on or pass through platforms. 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. The player normally stands and walks on platforms as if they were ordinary blocks, and they can move down through a platform by pressing the в–ј Down key while standing on one. Platforms are a special type of block that can be walked on, but also allow movement through the space they occupy.
