I recently created a little challenge for myself and I had quite a lot of fun with it so I decided to share the idea with the rest of TCF.
The main idea of it is that you're a very empathetic person and can sympathies with literally any living creature be it adorable little bunny or literal hellspawn, therefor you're not allowed to kill any living creature (other than 3 that would be impossible to beat without).
The goal is to beat the Wall of Flesh so you can live with the pixies and unicorns
Rules
1. No killing any living creature
You are not allowed to kill any living creature. This includes bosses & critters, the undead, plants and elementals are allowed to be killed.
2. No using any traditional weapons
The idea of using any kind of killing machine disgusts you so you are not allowed to use any traditional weapons. This means no swords, spears, guns, bows, staves, spellbooks, etc.
3. No fishing
This would be killing both the critters you use as bait and the fish you catch.
4. NPC's are allowed to hurt and killing ANY living creatures
After all, you're not the ones killing them.
5. Traps are allowed
You can use traps to kill the specific enemies allowed.
6. If you kill any creature not allowed you have to give up your life
If you kill any creature that's not in the list of allowed enemies by some kind of accident you have to kill yourself at that moment, whether that means loosing all your money, items or the entire run.
This is the list of enemies you are allowed to kill.
The voodoo demon and WoF are kind of necessary to beating the wall of flesh (surprise surprise) so those are the two exceptions to the rules.
I've not put zombie enemies on the list as I personally feel they're a bit too close to the living, plus that would make it too easy for you guys
Here is the list of weapons and damage types allowed.
All picks, axes and hammers excluding battle tools
Sickle - A grain harvesting tool
Wooden Yoyo,
Rally
Maliase
Artery
Valor
Cascade. Yoyos are and were ORIGINALLY created as toys, although they can and have been used as weapons they were traditionally used as toys
All other yoyos are impossible to obtain witout breaking the other rules.
Staff of Regrowth - Its more of a tool
Stylish Scissors - Just don't run with them
Paintball Gun - Technically more of a toy than a real weapon. Still can be quite helpful.
Flare Gun - A tool
Flower of Fire - Its just a flower... right?
Medusa Head - Could only really be obtained if Medusa fell in lava
Snowball - In reality more of a fun thing then something to hurt someone with
Snowball Cannon - Good point Yugiohhero
Bone - Other than a Cubone who would even think to throw one of these?
Rotten Egg - Sure you're an 
for egging someones house but its not a weapon.
Bombs - A tool for excavation
Dynamite - A tool for excavation
Explosives - A tool for excavation
Dart Trap - Traps are permitted because its not a weapon you're using
Boulder - Who doesn't love a bit of Indiana Jones?
Lava Bucket - Because who doesn't love burning the dead?
Minecart Damage - Its not your fault they were in the way
Sand, Silt & Slush - If you're really that desperate for some kind of damage
There were some items that technically could have been allowed although to get them you would have to kill something which is against the rules.
Theres a lot you cant do in this challenge you normally would. You've really got to think in this challenge.
You cant get many types of armour, the best you could have by the end would be platinum, obsidian or necro.
No killing the EoW or BoC means no Shadow or Crimson tools or armour, and nothing out of hellstone either.
You cant kill a goblin army (but maybe your npcs can
), so don't meet the requirements to spawn one.
If you come across a dungeon slime, tough luck you gotta let it go.
And there are plenty more things to consider...
I decided to have the challenge end at hardmode because it would just become either incredibly tedious, boring and not fun or have to break several rules to progress
If you think there is an item, enemy or rule that should be on the list or you have any questions about this challenge feel free to tell me.
As always any constructive criticism and feedback is welcome!
