| abstract | - Meteorite ore is a crafting component that is needed to craft several items.
- Meteorite Ore comes from Meteorites, which have a chance of appearing each night at midnight after a Shadow Orb (Or Pulsing Heart) has been broken. The amount of Meteorite Ore that appears depends on where the Meteorite lands, as Meteorite Ore will replace existing blocks rather than creating new blocks. For this reason, it is recommended that you not build any Skybridges until after you no longer need Meteorite; if a Meteorite hits a Skybridge, it will not have many blocks to replace therefore little Meteorite Ore will be made. File:Terraria Meteorite Biome Meteorite blocks are fire-type, so an Obsidian Skull, Obsidian Shield, Obsidian Horseshoe, Obsidian Water Walking Boots, or Obsidian Skin Potion is required to prevent damage from touching them. A Gold Pickaxe or better is required to mine the Meteorite Ore, although explosives work just as well. It is safe to touch the loose ore after it's been mined. Three Meteorite Ore can be smelted into a Meteorite Bar at a Furnace. Meteor Heads have a 2% (1:50) drop rate of Meteorite Ore. If you continuously want to farm the ores then this is a slow, but possible process.
