Demonite Ore

Demonite Ore is a material required to make Demonite Bars. 4 Ores are required to craft one bar.

Demonite Ore can be found anywhere in small amounts as well as dropping from bosses like Eye of Cthulhu and the Eater of Worlds, who drop it when slain. It can only be mined with a gold pickaxe or higher. Demonite Ore that is found in the ground glows faintly, giving it away amongst the darkness of the underground. Demonite Ore is believed to be more commonly found in Corruption; this, however, is unconfirmed.

A vendor NPC will purchase Demonite Ore for 8 silver coins. It can be placed. When placed, it emits the same particle effect as Ebonstone.Contrary to popular belief, Demonite Ore will not cause monsters from the corruption to spawn. As of 1.0.5, demonite ore can be found naturally in new worlds.
