Land Mine

Land Mines are unique Hardmode, post-Plantera placed items. They remain dormant once placed, until a character touches them or they are activated by Wire, at which point they explode, dealing 250 damage. They are purchased from the Demolitionist after Plantera and at least one Pirate Invasion have been defeated, but only in singleplayer. In the, Land Mines can be purchased before Plantera is defeated, but only at night; once Plantera is defeated, they will be available at all times.

Tips

 * A Pressure Plate wired to Explosives may be more effective during PvP, since it is not as visible.
 * Since the mobile version doesn't have a housing menu, Land Mines are useful for moving NPCs to different houses (NPCs sell different items in different biomes).
 * This is one way to get the Red Hat from the Clothier without him dying by enemies.

Trivia

 * In singleplayer, if a Softcore character is killed by a Land Mine, they will not drop money on death. This is because it counts it as a PvP death (also true for Hellfire Arrows and Explosive Bullets).
 * The Land Mine's texture is a reference to "Worms", a series of video games created by Team17.
