Fallen Star

Fallen Stars are items which randomly fall from the sky at night, with a distinct sound, and disappear at daybreak. They will disappear if dropped by a player during the day, though not if they are in a player's inventory. Fallen stars will provide light like a placed torch. Player can use ten of them to make a Mana Crystal which on use both increases a player's maximum mana by 20 and restores an equal amount. They may also be used in various crafting recipes, and as Ammunition for the Star Cannon. They can be stored in an ammo slot to conserve inventory space.

Fallen Stars have a chance to hit enemies, dealing 1,000 damage. Fallen Stars have been known to hit Bosses, making the fight much easier.

Harvesting Fallen Stars
A simple method for harvesting Fallen Stars is to construct long straight sections of ground to run along at night. Alternatively, it is possible to build long platforms in the sky (also known as a skybridge), though these have the disadvantage of catching meteors. Meteors only destroy or replace blocks, so one striking a solid platform will only create a small amount of meteor ore.

Long platforms are only a necessity for those players who need ammo for the Star Cannon or are making mana potions. Stars fall all night, and a player leaving their house early to run along platforms will actually be missing quite a few stars as they travel. Simply leaving a safe base at midnight after some stars have fallen and traveling in one direction for as long as possible will easily net a dozen stars in a single night, more than enough to satisfy the needs of a player interested in filling their mana capacity.
