How far apart do NPC houses need to be?

In Terraria, NPC houses need to be more than 25 blocks apart (measured from their housing banners) to prevent overcrowding penalties, but you need specific distances for desired happiness, often requiring houses to be far apart (like 50+ blocks) for loved pairs, while disliked pairs need to be far away (over 120 blocks) or in different biomes to avoid negative happiness and enable pylons, as the system checks for neighbors within 25 blocks and town status within 120 blocks.

The rarest pet in Terraria is widely considered to be The Dirtiest Block, a cosmetic pet that looks like a normal dirt block but is incredibly difficult to find because only a few spawn in each world (3 in small, 6 in medium, 9 in large), requiring extensive mining. Other contenders for rarity include event-specific pets like the Puppy (Christmas) or special edition pets, but the sheer dedication needed for the Dirtiest Block makes it the community's top pick for rarity.

Why is the truffle NPC not moving in?

The Truffle NPC isn't moving in because your artificial "Glowing Mushroom Biome" isn't quite right: it needs to be surface-level (above elevation 0), have at least 100 mushroom grass/blocks, be far from Corruption/Crimson, and have a valid, vacant house with a table, chair, and light source, all while you're in Hardmode after defeating the Wall of Flesh. The most common mistake is the floor not being glowing mushroom blocks, or not enough mushroom grass.
