Crystal Heart

A Crystal Heart is a background object that drops a Life Crystal when broken with a pickaxe, drill, or explosive. Crystal Hearts can be found naturally placed in any area in the Underground layer and below, though they are fairly uncommon. They cannot be found in the The Underworld or the Dungeon, ( Has been found in Dungeon on ). In very rare cases, Crystal Hearts can also be found on the surface.

Life Crystals are used to increase a player's maximum health capacity by 20health. This can be done until 400 health, and is extended to 500 health with Life Fruits.



Tips

 * The easiest way to find Crystal Hearts is by using a Spelunker Potion, as the Spelunker buff highlights the crystals.
 * The Underground Jungle is a good place to look for Crystal Hearts, due to the large amounts of open space. The Ice biome and Underground Glowing Mushroom biomes may be a less dangerous alternative.

Trivia

 * Crystal hearts are one of the few blocks which still obviously borrow from the Stone Block texture, even in the final game version. Other blocks which did this, such as ebonstone/pearlstone prior to 1.2 or all original ores prior to 1.3.0.1, eventually had their textures revamped.
