Hellforge
The Hellforge is a crafting station that incorporates the same functions as a regular Furnace, additionally being able to smelt Hellstone into Hellstone Bars. It is also used to craft the essential Adamantite/Titanium Forge in Hardmode.
Hellforges cannot be crafted, and are found in Ruined Houses in the Underworld. On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, Hellforges can only be collected with a Deathbringer or Nightmare Pickaxe or better (60% pickaxe power). Once placed at higher depths, they can be removed with any pickaxe.

Notes[]
- On the Console version and Old-gen console version, Hellforges can spawn just above the Underworld.
- The sprite appears to have a small flow of lava on the right side.
Tips[]
- With a bit of luck, a Teleportation Potion may take the player to the Underworld, making the Hellforge easily obtainable early-game.
- If the player brings a bucket of water down to the Underworld, then they can obtain a Hellforge before obtaining the Deathbringer or Nightmare Pickaxe. Simply kill a Lava Slime near the Hellforge (placing a block or two to keep the resulting lava from flowing away might be useful), then dump the bucket of water onto the lava-submerged Hellforge. The resulting Obsidian Blocks will displace it, allowing the player to collect it.
Trivia[]
- It appears to be made of Hellstone Bricks.
- Even though the Hellforge looks like a Furnace and acts like one, it cannot be crafted from it.
- Although it is a late pre-Hardmode version of the Furnace, it is not required to smelt Cobalt, Palladium, Mythril, and Orichalcum into bars.
