Meteorite

&nbsp

Meteorites have a 50% chance to spawn when you break a Shadow Orb during the night, and can also spawn randomly during the night. Meteorite Ore can be used to make Meteorite Bars, which can be used to make: Meteor Hamaxe, Space Gun, Star Cannon, Phaseblades, Meteor Shot and Meteor Armor. An obsidian skull is needed for mining meteorite and meteor heads are enemies that spawn in the meteor biome.

If you want to get the Meteorite Biome:
Break Shadow Orbs only in the night

If you don't want to get the Meteorite Biome:
Break Shadow Orbs only in the day
