Luminite

Luminite is an ore that drops from the Moon Lord Boss, usually in stacks of 70-90 (90-110 in Expert Mode). It can be used to craft Luminite Bars, which can then be used to make many end-game items, such as the Solar, Nebula, Vortex, and Stardust tools and armor.

Trivia

 * It is the only ore that doesn't need any kind of Furnace or Forge in order to be smelted into bars.
 * It may well be that this is a reference to the CBBC childrens' show The Sparticle Mystery, where there exists a mineral called luminite which boosts any energy going through it.
