Pwnhammer

The Pwnhammer is a Hardmode hammer that is able to destroy Demon Altars and Crimson Altars, blessing the world with one of the six Hardmode ores. It is always dropped by the Wall of Flesh. It has a sparkle effect when used, giving off a good deal of light even in total darkness.

While the tooltip states that it can break them, Altars can only be destroyed in Hardmode worlds, i.e. worlds where the Wall of Flesh has been defeated. Each Altar spawns new amounts of Hardmode ores. The first destroyed Altar blesses the world with Cobalt or Palladium Ore, the second Mythril or Orichalcum Ore, and the third Adamantite or Titanium Ore. The ores generated are randomly determined upon smashing the first three Altars, similarly to naturally-spawning ores. Subsequently destroyed Altars will generate the same ores (in the same order).
