| Discover all the minerals you can obtain in Terraria |
The vast majority of minerals are found throughout the world, specifically in the depths or subsoil, but the main ones such as copper, tin, lead, and iron can be found on the surface.
When looking for minerals, it is advisable to go down to the deepest depths since the better the obtained ones will be. Other minerals can also be found on floating islands such as silver and gold. While there are others that can only be obtained through bosses, such as the crimson ore or the demon ore that are left by these monsters.
Like the last minerals mentioned, there is the meteorite that is obtained by breaking a crimson heart or shadow orb allowing the meteorite to fall during the night, obsidian is another mineral that is formed when water and lava are located in the same block.
Additionally, all of these types of minerals can be smelted in a furnace, taking into account their rarity. The truth is that there are many types of minerals and they will all present unique qualities, which is why we will explain each of them in detail below.
What are the normal Minerals
There are many normal minerals and these are characterized by being found in the world once it has started, and many types of them can be obtained. But, this does not mean that all regular minerals can be reproduced naturally.
The latter refers to certain guidelines that have been implemented to be able to access them in a certain world, for this reason, we have listed the minerals that you can or cannot have in Terraria:
- By getting lead, you can't have iron, and vice versa.
- By getting copper, you don't have tin, and vice versa.
- By getting silver, you will not have tungsten, and vice versa.
- If you have platinum, you will not be able to get gold, and vice versa.
What this means is that there is a 50 and 50% chance of generating or not generating these minerals mentioned, that is, it is possible that the same minerals will not be obtained in a single world twice, but it is not impossible for this to happen.
What are the evil minerals in the Terraria world?

Chlorophyte is a mineral that grows naturally in the underground rainforest also known as jungle. This type of mineral cannot be extracted until you have a pickaxe or, failing that, a Drax since it requires 200% or more in mining power.
Chlorophyte is characterized by progressively spreading in the mud so that you can build unlimited farms of this type of mineral.
