Chlorophyte Ore


 * This article is about the ore. For the bar, see Chlorophyte Bar.

 is an ore found in the Jungle in Hard Mode that spawns at any depth. If the area is jungle, then (depending on world size) it'll spawn random chunks of 1-6 chlorophyte.(Note how you CAN abuse this to make a farm where you place a mud, relog, mine 30-100 ore in an artificial jungle, replace mud, relog) It requires a pick or drill with at least 200% pickaxe power to mine. Chlorophyte is one of the most important ores late game. It is used to make Turtle Armor, which is a great armor for tanks, Chlorophyte Armor, which is a great armor for DPS's, Spectre Armor, which is great for the mage class and Shroomite Armor, which is great for rangers. It is highly recommended to use Spelunker Potions when in search for these ores, as it makes finding them very easy considering they blend in with the green jungle very well.

Mining

 * A good way to farm Chlorophyte is to strip mine vertically while under the effects of a Spelunker Potion, branching out to pick up the ore as you find it.
 * Another good way to farm Chlorophyte is to use Wisp in a Bottle. Fly through the jungle, Grapple onto any area of thick dirt, then use your (default) WASD keys to make the wisp move around, checking the entire area for chlorophyte. 10 Rounds of 5 min testing on different world show that you can easily get 50-150 ore in 5 mins.



Notes.

 * Chlorophyte Ore can actually grow, converting Mud blocks into more Chlorophyte ore. This, however, only occurs at stone layer level or deeper. Not much is known about the spreading of the ore, but it seems to grow into clusters of as low as three or as high as twenty five. The process of chlorophyte actually growing is random, but it is wise to always "refill" your chlorophyte farms with Mud when you think enough has grown.
 * A good way to create a "farm" for chlorophyte is by making a 5x5 square of mud and putting one ore in the middle. It is wise to use 5x5 because chlorophyte only grows for twenty five blocks, and then stops growing. Make multiple of these boxes at least 2 or 3 blocks away from each other, so you can get in and out of the farms. It has been also noticed that in too dense farms Chlorophyte ore grows slower in the densest areas.Chlorophyte_Ore_growing.png
 * When on an online world, Chlorophyte 'may' appear as though it is not growing. In other words, the block will appear as mud after spreading to another block, but after breaking the block, or reloading the world, it will appear as chlorophyte ore. So if your Chlorophyte Farm is at cavern level or lower and suddenly seems to stop growing, try reloading your world.
 * It does not matter whether you are on or off-screen of the farm.
 * It does matter whether or not your world is in Hard Mode; Chlorophyte will not grow in a normal mode world.
 * Chlorophyte Farms can be used in the Underworld.
