To mine those spooky Corruption blocks in Terraria, you gotta upgrade your gear! First things first, make sure you have a Nightmare Pickaxe or better. You can craft one using Demonite Bars and Shadow Scales, which you get from defeating the Eater of Worlds. If you're in a hardmode world, a Deathbringer Pickaxe works too, which needs Crimtane Bars and Tissue Samples from the Brain of Cthulhu. Without these, you'll just be tickling those blocks instead of breaking them.
Get a The Reaver Shark pickaxe. It's a bit of a grind since you gotta fish for it in the ocean, but totally worth it. Mines through Corruption like butter.
Honestly, mining corruption blocks before you've defeated the Eater of Worlds is a waste of time. Focus on gearing up first; the blocks can wait.
