Land Mine

Land Mines are unique Hardmode, post-Plantera placed items. They remain dormant once placed, until a character touches them or they are activated by Wire, at which point they explode, dealing 250 damage. They are purchased from the Demolitionist for each, after Plantera and at least one Pirate Invasion have been defeated. In the, Land Mines can be purchased before Plantera is defeated, but only at night; once Plantera is defeated, they will be available at all times.

Tips

 * Land Mines can be useful in PvP situations where it is necessary to ward players away from a certain patch of land.
 * A Pressure Plate wired to Explosives may be more effective during PvP, since it is not as visible. However, it will destroy blocks, and other players may hide in the pit.
 * Since the 's housing menu can’t move NPCs, Land Mines are useful for moving NPCs to different houses and/or to different biomes.
 * Land Mines can be used as a way to kill (and collect drops from) friendly NPCs.

Trivia

 * In singleplayer, if a Softcore character is killed by a Land Mine, they will not drop money on death. This is because it counts it as a PvP death (also true for Hellfire Arrows and Explosive Bullets).
 * The Land Mine's texture is a reference to the Land mines in, a series of video games created by Team17.
