Land Mines are unique Hardmode, post-Plantera placeable 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 for 5 each, after Plantera and at least one Pirate Invasion have been defeated. In the Old-gen console version, Land Mines can be purchased before Plantera is defeated, but only at night; once Plantera is defeated, they will be available at all times.

Notes[]

Land Mine explosions do not damage placed blocks or walls.
NPCs can trigger Land Mines.
Land Mines can be painted.

Tips[]

Land Mines can be useful in PvP situations where it is necessary to ward players away from a certain patch of land.
- A Pressure Plate wired to Explosives may be more effective during PvP, since it is not as visible. However, it will destroy blocks, and other players may hide in the pit.
  - Land Mines can even kill players who have PvP disabled or their users.
Land Mines can be used as a convenient way to kill and collect drops from friendly NPCs, especially considering that they don't dislodge placed blocks.
Like explosives and Explosive Bullets, Land Mine damage counts as a PvP death, so softcore characters don't drop money when killed.
