Meteorite (biome)

Meteorite

The meteorite is a hard place with monsters attacking you constantly. The meteor will spawn when someone breaks a Shadow Orb (fails if an explosive is used to destroy the orb), it will fall down somewhere in the world and break a large amount of blocks. The blocks the meteorite creates will burn you unless you have an Obsidian Skull. You can mine Meteorite ore from the impact site.

Once 95% of the meteorite is mined the music while change back to normal and meteor heads will stop spawning allowing you to mine the rest. This was thought to be implemented into the game to stop the world being swarmed by meteor heads once multiple meteors had landed.
