Meteorite Ore

Meteorite Ore appears when a meteor falls from the sky after a Shadow Orb has been destroyed, there is also a very small chance one will fall out of the sky randomly. Meteorite blocks are fire-type, and an Obsidian Skull is required to prevent damage from the heat.

A golden pickaxe or better is required to mine the Meteorite Ore, although dynamite works just as well. It is entirely safe to touch the loose ore.

6 Meteorite Ore can be smelted into a Meteorite Bar.

Tips and Tricks
- Keeping the Meteor Heads on one side will allow the player to continuously knock them back while mining.

- Only four Meteor Heads will spawn at a time, unless the player is unfortunate enough to attempt to mine during a Blood Moon, in which case they will spawn in overwhelming quantities.

- Once the majority of the Meteorite Ore is mined it will stop the spawning of Meteor Heads and the music will return to normal.
