Cobalt Ore

Cobalt Ore is an ore that appears in the world when the player destroys a Demon Altar with a Pwnhammer. This will "bless" the world with deposits of either Cobalt, Mythril, or Adamantite Ore. These ores can then be found randomly throughout the Underground and Cavern layers. Cobalt Ore can only be mined with a Molten Pickaxe or better. It is immune to all types of explosions. It is the most abundant of the three hardmode ores.
