Malmit ovat tärkeimpiä materiaaleja ja ovat välttämättömiä pelin etenemiseen. Jotta malmeista voi valmistaa useimpia esineitä, pitää ne muuttaa harkoiksi uunilla. Sen jälkeen niillä voi tehdä monia olennaisia työkaluja, aseita, haarniskoja, ja muita tavaroita. Joidenkin esineitten, kuten juomien tai tiilten tarvitaan kuitenkin jalostamatonta malmia, eikä sen harkkomuotoa. Raakaa malmia voidaan myös käyttää rakentamiseen.

Malmia löytyy yleensä esiintymissä maan alla, ja ne voidaan louhia hakulla. Alemman tason malmia voi löytää myös mullasta lähellä maanpintaa, tai leijuvalla saarella. Joitain malmeja voi saada päävihollisilta, kuten Cthulhun Silmältä, Maailmojen Syöjältä, Cthulhun Aivoilta,, ja.

Linkonaattori, tai puulaatikot (joita saadaan kalastamalla), voivat myöskin antaa malmeja satunnaisesti.

Maailmassa esiintyy vain yhtä malmityyppiä jokaiselta tasolta, jotka ovat valittu satunnaisesti (katso taulukko alapuolella). Niitä malmeja, joita ei esiinny maailmassa luonnollisesti, voi saada limoilta, laatikoista, linkonaatorilta, tai toisista maailmoista. Kovamoodin malmityypit valitaan satunnaisesti, kun pelaajat tuhoavat alttareita.

Hardmode
Jotta maailmaasi tulisi ensimmäiset kolme tasoa Harmode Malmia tarvitsee tuhota 3 Demoni tai Crimson alttareita. Tämä tarvitsee Vasaran, jolla on yli 80% vasara voimaa, esim.Pwnvasara, jonka saa Wall of fleshiltä. jokainen tuhottu alttari synnyttää maailmaasi kuudesta kolmea uutta hardmode malmia, jotka korvaavat luonnolliset maan palikat maan alla:


 * 1) Ensimmäinen alttari: Koboliitti tai Palladium
 * 2) Second Altar: Mythril tai Orichalcum
 * 3) Third Altar: Adamantiitti tai Titaani


 * Destroying a fourth Altar spawns another round of whichever type spawned for the first Altar (Cobalt or Palladium) . A fifth spawns more of whichever type spawned for the second Altar (Mythril or Orichalcum), etc.
 * Destroying more Altars will never spawn Hardmode ore types beyond the 3 that were randomly assigned to your world during the initial round of destroyed Altars. A world with Palladium Ore deposits will never spawn Cobalt Ore deposits, or vice-versa.
 * Ore spawns will never overwrite existing Mineral deposits or placed Wood blocks of any type, nor any form of Brick, only Biome blocks (such as Dirt, Mud, Stone, etc).

Chlorophyte Ore spawns on its own once Hardmode is triggered, and Luminite does not occur naturally. Neither are affected by destroyed Altars.

Tips

 * Each Hardmode ore is chosen at the moment you break the first three Altars in the world. You can choose the ores you like by quitting your world without saving (by ending the task or killing the process) after smashing your first Altars. It is more easily done with a server, using the  command.
 * All ores except Hellstone and Obsidian are highlighted by the Spelunker buff, making it easy to find veins of ore. Hellstone is not lit up by the buff, but it is by a Dangersense Potion. Obsidian is easily found and made around lava.
 * Using a Crate Potion will improve the chances of obtaining crates, and as such the ore-bearing Wooden Crates.
 * If you fill in caves with spare natural blocks such as dirt, then destroy Altars, Hardmode ores can spawn in them. They can then also be seen on the minimap, presenting an easy way to convert extra blocks into ores and know their exact location.
 * In the, the Palladium Pickaxe and drill can mine Adamantite and Titanium.
 * Most ores sell for the same as or more than the bars made from them. The exceptions are the late pre-Hardmode ores (Meteorite, Demonite/Crimtane, Hellstone), and Chlorophyte, all of which are far more profitable as bars. (Hellstone and Obsidian are unsaleable as ores, and there is no Obsidian Bar).

Trivia

 * Hellstone's item sprite is a recolor of that of Silver Ore.
 * Hellstone and Chlorophyte are the only ores that cannot be infinitely generated within a single world. Others can be obtained from sources such as Crates, an Extractinator, bosses, duplicable Liquids, and Meteorite crashes. Furthermore, Chlorophyte can be grown using mud, which, while not truly infinite, is unlimited for all practical purposes.
 * Iron and Lead are the only ores not to have bricks.
 * Despite being a late-game ore, Chlorophyte Ore only sells for per ore. This may be because the player can keep farming large amounts of Chlorophyte Ore and selling it for money. Luminite sells for the most, being  per ore.
 * Palladium, Cobalt, and Titanium are the only Hardmode ores named after real metals.
