|behavior=[[:Category:Hostile_creatures|Hostile]]

'''Drifters''' are common hostile creatures that have both a melee and ranged attack, and are the only [[Hostile_entities|hostile]] creature that can spawn both on the [[surface]] and [[underground]].

Drifters can spawn in any empty or [[tall grass]] block with a [[light level]] below 7.

On the surface, only surface drifters can spawn, though they are further limited to only spawning within a 25 block radius of a [[temporal rift]].

Depending on the type of drifter, they are limited to spawning within a certain [[Y level]] - the more dangerous drifters tending to spawn much deeper in a world.

Double-headed drifters can only spawn during [[temporal storm]]s.

Upon dying, drifters can be harvested with a [[knife]] for a chance to loot a number of {{Icon link|Grid_Flax_fibers.png|Flax fibers|flax fibers}}, {{Icon link|gear-rusty.png|Rusty gear|rusty gears}} and {{Icon link|gear-temporal.png|Temporal gear|temporal gears}}. The chance for each item varies depending on the type of drifter, and can be seen in the table below.

If a drifter is within 15 blocks of a player but cannot path to them, they may stop and throw a rock at them instead, every 1 to 10 seconds. This ranged attack deals 1 damage, regardless of the drifter's type. Drifters can throw rocks over blocks that are too tall to jump over, such as [[Fence|fences]] and [[Fence gate|fence gates]]. The rocks disappear once thrown and cannot be picked up by the player. This rock projectile can sometimes hit the drifter who threw it, or even other drifters.
