- Where Terraria's fictional ores come from
Another short to tide me over!
Terraria will truly give me oodles of useless information to squeeze from. Some of you look like you'd enjoy that.
Also, I pronounced Orichalcum correctly this time...

Where Terraria's fictional ores come from
crimtane and demonite are also fictionalization
I’m so dumb for forgetting that
Though I guess their origins are quite obvious.
Hellstone too
Shroomite
@@judeoberfoell shroomite isn't even an ore
@@maxohara6684 oh yeah i forgor about that
They should totally add the falling moon idea as a separate thing in the future, sounds really cool and terrifying at the same time
The moon is collapsing!
I thought lunar hooks can grapple the moon
Until then, we have Fargo's Souls DLC to add the Ceiling of Moon Lord
terraria 2 idea
hermitcraft moment
i need a mod that, when you fight the moon lord, it teleports you to a moon that's out of the normal world, and that's where luminite naturally generates
ok so where do i download
this can probably be made, albeit low quality, in under a week
Calamity mod has a similar thing, it spawns planets after beating ml
@@gamerlizard6672 i know, i've played calamity. i mean you get sent to a subworld that's a moonlord boss area with special characteristics
Or maybe when you kill the cultist a portal opens to the moon where you do dhe pillars first and then moonlord
Which is kinda funny considering that Cobalt, Palladium, and Titanium are all very real metals that are all known for being stupidly hard to break.
Also Palladium is stupidly rare and valuable
Yeah, take that Minecraft, with your weak ass swords
Diamonds, really? Diamonds are hard but definitely not strong. They’re like glass
Steel is still much stronger than all of them, including titanium.
@@InternetCrusader-rb7ls Sure, some steel alloys have slightly higher tensile strength than titanium, but I doubt the Terraria character is mixing in any manganese, chromium, cobalt, or nickel into his steel, meaning the steel you make in game is just simple primative steel, which is much less strong, but let's just assume he somehow magically made a modern steel alloy using his primitive tools, titanium is still much better and more versatile in many different ways
Titanium is lighter and stronger for its weight. This is critical for applications where both strength and weight are factors, such as tools that actually need to be lugged around by somebody, like a pickaxe or a sword.
Titanium also has excellent fatigue resistance, meaning it can withstand repeated stress cycles without failure. On the other hand, steel is much more susceptible to fatigue cracking and will wear down far quicker.
If you're still not convinced, let's run through all the basic properties of metals and see which is better
1. Hardness:
Titanium has a Mohs hardness value of 6, while steel only has a value of 4-4.5
Titanium 1, steel 0
2: Yield strength (the force needed to bend it out of shape):
While modern steel's yield strength is much higher, primative steel's yield strength is about 220 mega pascals, while titanium is 240, so titanium wins again.
Titanium 2, steel 0
3: Toughness (potential of the material to absorb sudden shock or impact without deforming)
For primitive steel, fracture toughness might be around 20-40 MPa·m^1/2. For titanium, fracture toughness is generally in the range of 50-100 MPa·m^1/2.
Titanium 3, steel 0
Brittleness:
I couldn't find exact numbers for this, but it's said that unalloyed steel is much more brittle than titanium
Titanium 4, steel 0
I can't even think of anything else that could be relevant. Compressive strength? We're not designing a building, so that's basically irrelevant. Ductility? We're not trying to make wires out of it, so that's irrelevant too. Seems like titanium is better than unalloyed steel in every area, and better than alloyed steel in many areas still. The only problem titanium has is how rare it is
@@Echiio
Every time you see something say that says that titanium is stronger than steel, it’s almost always referring to mild steel vs titanium or one of its alloys. When compared to High carbon steel (not even alloy steel,) titanium is severely outclassed in terms of relevant sword and tool making properties.
Titanium’s shear modulus (which is an indication of a material's rigidity and its resistance to deformation due to shear stress,) is 44 GPa, while Steel’s is 80
Steel 1, Titanium 0
Steel’s Young’s Modulus (which tells us how easily it can stretch and deform) is 203 GPa, while titanium’s is 116.
Steel 2, Titanium 0
Low carbon steel tends to have a mohs hardness of around 4, but steels with a higher carbon content can be hardened to have a hardness of from 7-8, while titanium is 6.
Steel 3, Titanium 0
Titanium’s tensile yield strength and ultimate yield strength are 140 MPa and 220 MPa respectively, while steel’s are 533 MPa
and 795 MPa.
Steel 4, Titanium 0
Steel’s fatigue strength is its tensile strength divided by 2, so it is more fatigue resistant than Titanium.
Steel 5, Titanium 0
The main thing Titanium has going for it is its strength to weight ratio, which isn’t even the best thing if you want a sword that is heavy enough to do damage.
Finally, if the terrarian can make PURE TITANIUM, which is hard to get from ore, (as well as notoriously hard to machine with MODERN tools,) and make tools out of it then surely they can make high carbon steel easily.
Next video should cover crimtane, demonite, hellstone, hallowed, shroomite, and spectre bars.
And then there is meteorite, although it's pretty obvious it's from space, it is clearly made from some unknown material
Hallowed, shroomite and spectre aren't ores though
@@dustybeam1559 there is enough room to believe that hallowed *was* an ore, just mined and used exclusively for the creation of the mechs after the hallow was long sealed away.
The fact remains that it isn't obtainable in-game, however.
Shroomite and Spectre are alloys not ores. Not sure about Hallowed, but I've always thought of it as the alloy the mechanical bosses are made of
@Acevant exactly what i was saying
fun fact, in terraria 2 you can, in fact, mine luminite on the moon. source: trust me bro
The upcoming mod named Macrocosm lets you do exactly that
I trust you bro
@@Opt1musPr1meK thank you bro
Melee class players on their way to say "trust me bro i can tank" 5 seconds before getting brutally slaughtered by the boss
@@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179 me before i decided maybe guns are the better solution to my problems than the funny oversized sword
Funny thing about orichalcum, its actually an alloy of bronze and other metals, just not purple. Pretty cool
Brass
@@LsavCrazy i mean you're kinda right, its a brass alloy
Demonite, Crimtane, and Hellstone: Bro WTF
BRO I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT
... guess I'll still comment that
hallowed: ........
Shroomite lol
@@milkmafioso5117 spectre and technically meteorite too
Another fun fact about luminite!:
Sometimes, when placing luminite down, but not in brick nor bar form, in 'ore' form, your metal detector detects it. but since luminite isn't to be mined normally, the metal detector has no text for luminite! So instead it just says " Detected nearby!"
While these origins make total sense, I'm pretty sure the ideas for ores like Adamantite and Mythril were actually taken from Final Fantasy IV, a game that Redigit already put a TON of references to in Terraria - in that game, Adamantite was the strongest metal, as Terrarian Adamantite was in 1.1. I actually asked this question before in some fan mail, and they indirectly confirmed this was the case.
Wouldn't doubt that's where Final Fantasy got the ores from, though
To be fair, the vid explained the actual origin of the metals, not a possible source of reference in the middle of the path. Just saying „used them because they are also in FF IV“ would not have been very interesting, I think ^^
Yep, I can confirm Mithril came from Lord Of The Rings. Wouldn’t be surprised if Tolkien got it as inspiration from somewhere else though.
@@borgthepigI remember when Rediggit posted that he lost files stored with Google Apps including several GB of Lord of Rings footage, so his hypothesis stands.
The moon does seem like it's a villain since it causes a lot of the events like the frost and harvest moon, the blood moon, and the solar eclipse. It's also creepily close during the pillars
Wow, this may be a coincidence but that would make sense, having even the moon lord as the final boss
A theory I had was that it’s intentional that solar flare is endgame armor, the solar eclipse is between golem and moon lord, and you can fight moon lord. It’s like an eclipse, the moon (moon lord) vs the sun (you in solar flare armor)
Almost feels like when teacher give meaning to nothing but in a good way this time.
So diamonds are great in terraria after all?
Technically.
@@UnclePhil6705
Being technically correct is the best kind of correct
@@AbdellatifMohamed Nice reference
Yes, diamond hook and also.. uhh. ah.... ....
diamonds are unbreakable
Title: Terraria has fictional ores
Video: explains where they came from in actual moments of history
Historical mythology. Mythology is the keyword there.
I was really hoping to see someone say you ‘missed colbalt’
I found someone who actually said that
Stu main here. Loved the fact you put stu over melodie. Also rlly enjoyed the vid, keep up the good work, much love ❤️.
It would be so sick as a boss fight on or with a falling moon would be so sick, I can see it kinda like the ruin from starbound.
This channel scratches my Terraria itch, I feel like I’m constantly learning things from here
bro, just saying, the moon slowly falling in the sky while you protect the world and fight the minions in one last epic fight, before the moon comes into reach slowly falling into the world and you have to attack it as it falls without dying to minions and attacks would be insane
I've played terraria for over 8 years and I've never been able to pronounce "Orichalcum"
Crimtane? Demonite? Hellstone? *Hallowed bars?*
Your voice is pleasant and your video is well edited you deserve a subscribe ❤
That aether music hits hard
Hallowed doesnt need explanation. Hallow means holy which means you can only assume it means "holy metal" or "holy bars"
Fun fact: the chloraphyte bar is the only hard mode ore to use the pre-hard mode bar base sprite!
All the ores in hard mode are actually real ores but they aren't as majestic and op as in terraria. Cobalt is used on phones and the rest I'm not to sure. Titanium is the strongest In density and very heavy like tungsten
No titanium is very lightweight
wut titanium is very light
@@Gravity_304 wait really? Mb for misinformation I'm guessing it's the strongest to the weight it has if I recall
This is bullshit. I'm not even trying to be rude lol. But he literally pointed them out as being fake in the video. Yes titanium, cobalt, and palladium are real but literally every other hard mode ore is fake which includes: Mithril, Adamantite, Orichulcum, Hallowed, Chlorphyte, Specter, Shroomite, and Luminite. Even some of the pre hardmode ores are fictional as well including: Demonite, Crimtane and Hellstone. Even so, bscly no metal in terraria would be very effective for making actual weaponry and armor. Sure iron could be used to make that kinda stuff, steel is far more superior. In fact steel should really be the only thing you should be using to make weapons and armor in real life. Take everything in video games with a grain of salt. I apologize for taking this youtube comment so seriously, i have adhd and i have nothing better to do in my life.
sorry last thing it's like 1 am im sorry but osmium is actaully the densest naturally occurring metal as far as im concerned
Hollowed bar
Aint an ore
Mythril, Orichalcum and Adamantite are also heavily ingrained into the fantasy genre starting with the Final Fantasy series. Mythril was a sort of upgrade to your regular beginner weapon while Orichalcum and Adamantite was used for an ultimate weapon like FFI and FFIV's Excalibur. Orichalcum is also used to make the Ultima Weapon in the Kingdom Hearts series, which usually serves as Sora's best weapon in the game (though the other main Keyblade wielders like Terra, Ventus, Aqua also wield it if memory serves)
Mythril and Adamantite were already heavily ingrained into the fantasy genre before FF. Final Fantasy drew from popular western fantasy following lines from Tolkien and other elder fantasy writers.
Mythril did NOT come from Final Fantasy. It’s from lord of the rings
Orichalcum is a real alloy! Allegedly, it was used to decorate the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon. Its pink color in game probably comes from the fact that it was described by the Greeks as having a reddish appearance when light shone upon it. In real life, Orichalcum is just brass with a larger than usual proportion of copper. The Romans used it to make coins.
Chlorophyte specifically is named after chlorophyll which is what plants use for cellular resperation, and is what makes plants green
It's named after chlorophytes which are a phylum of plants.
Fun fact: clorophite is also a common type of algae, that can come in many forms, from unicelularity to colonial macroscopic organism.
the moon lord took some snacks for his bro. bro sadly was split up.
I feel like adamantite is also too close to adamantium to not be a reference to that as well
Close, but not completely. Adamantite does orginate from Greek Mythology, but it's specifically an unbreakable metal forged by Hephaestus used to keep the Titan Prometheus chained to the rocks to have guts eaten by eagles every day as punishment for giving mortals fire. It was first mentioned in Prometheus Bound written by Aeschylus.
Hellstone: 🗿
Crimtane and Demonite: 🗿
Shroomite and specter and hallowed:🗿
Demonite, Crimtane, Hallowed, Hellstone:
Are we jokes to you?
It would be cool if in a future update when you defeat the moon lord it would unlock the top edge of the world and fly to the moon and mine luminite. Like you broke the moon lord's "barrier" keeping you in
Calamity actually generates extra planetoids post-Moon Lord that contain Luminite
Crimtane, Demonite, Hellstone, Hallowed, Shroomite, Spectre:
Terraria’s soundtrack creator has a track called “Phobos base” seems to me like almost an unused future space moon base planned track!
Crimtane, Demonite, Hellstone, Orichalcum, Mythril, Chlorophyte, Shroomite, Hallowed Bars, Meteorite*, Luminite, Adamantite, and a few more I believe?
Shoomite and Hallowed arent ores.
The other ones are all fictional though
Can’t believe you didn’t mention copper
Shroomite, Spectre, Demonite, Crimtane, and Hellstone: are we a joke to you?
Tungsten is one of the strongest and most dense metals in the periodic table, yet, platinum and gold armor wich are much softer compared to tungsten, give more armor points than the tungsten armor
It blows my mind how many gaming monster/items/names go back to lord of the rings and DnD
Hellstone, Demonite and Crimtane giving you the death stare
The reason chlorophyte is a plant is called that is because of something implants called chlorophyll I don’t exactly remember what it does but it kinda like helps the plant live. I think it’s part of the sunlight transformation
Orichalcum is a real ancient alloy lost to history
Don’t we have some of the bars from a shipreck or something?
And how the fuck would you know that then
3 is a pain in the as
I’ve never understood why they had all these mythical, mysterious and fantastical metals for hardmode, and then plain, normal, boring titanium is better than most of them.
And why is Cobalt a hardmode material?
It's 50/50 titanium or adamantite
In calamity mod after you kill moon lord luminaire asteroids spawn in space which you can mine
The gates of hell are made out of adamantite
Orichalcum is a real alloy
You didn’t mention that chlorophyte is name after chlorophyll, the chemical the makes plants green and is responsible for photosynthesis
My guess where Luminite comes from is Moonlord had surgery done so he's in stable enough condition to move around, those "heavenly pebbles" were his bone braces, pacemakers, and other metal plates and protstetics near fatality mutilated people have, all neatly woven under his skin by the local Lunatic Cultist at around the time the player was in Pre-Hardmode, then he spent Hardmode recovering from such an invasive surgery and by the time he got better, he was too late to stop them...
Love to see you using Mount Princeton Colorado!!!!
Me knowing most of this in fantasy anime or novels
Shroomite, crimtane, demonite, hellstone, hallow, spectre
What's that "Research 100 to achieve duplication" while he's showing luminite
Orichalcum was a real alloy and it's colour was described by contemporaries.
It's only when it was linked to Atlantis, that it took "mythical" qualities.
Hallowed bars, demonite, crimtane,specter shroomite, and hellstone are all fictional as well
I can't believe we forgot hallowed ore
Anyone else hear Luminite and think “Sparticle Mystery”
I believe Orichalcum was actually found at one point
fighting the moon? duuuude we need that dimension!!
and the prefix chloro is probably meant to invoke chlorophyl, as well as its green colour and its sunlight related properties
I believe it's called (Oh-reh-cu-lum)
I need to go find me some shroomite now
Orichalcum is actually a real alloy and has been described many times in historical texts. The recipe was simply lost/destroyed.
It's an allow of gold and copper, i heard.
@@shreyaspamaraju262 It's possible, but we don't actually know what the people of history actually considered orichalcum to be.
chloropyhte is in plants in our real world so you are wrong and where are the evil ore and hallowed?
You're talking about chlorophyll, silly
Chlorophyte isn't real, you're probably talking about chlorophyll like the first guy replied to you 💀
@@Hokhahey still right about the evil and hallow though
@@FarisJ2011 That shit is self-explanatory. The concept of good and evil converted into something tangible, it's a game of fantasy, that can be a thing. By the looks of it, most likely gold and iron influended by those concepts.
shroomite?
Mythril is the fictional ore everyone uses
And also chlorophyte ore name is based around chlorophyll a thing plants use to photosynthesise
Kinda wish there was a portal to the moon in terraria to fight moon lord
yooooo conlang reference in terrasteel video
pretty good editing
Shroomite?
hallowed bar, not mined.
I hope this texture pack comes to mobile and console, i live the look of it!
orichalum is actually somewhat real
Hell stone
As much as I hate to be the “Akshually” guy, Orichalcum was probably a real metal, though unlike in Terraria it basically would’ve been fancier brass
There's more but it's all good you got the main ones I would of liked to see shroomite though 👌
Forgot Hellstone, demonite, crimson ore, and meteorite.
I geuss that mertorite as an metal isn’t real, but it’s likely a alloy of metals in irl meteors
@@Sandisverycool
Real meteorite is exactly that.
But it’s mostly iron. Irl it’s not permanently hot.
i learned about luminite in DMC1
Hold on does that mean you can farm chlorophyte?
For some reason i always thought wolfram was a fictional ore
Then i found it on the periodic table
Wulfrum in Calamity isn’t real, but W on the Periodic Table is Tungsten.
@@Terraw Wolfam/Wulfrum is just another word for Tungsten.
@@HORRIOR1 both just mean, Very Heavy Rock... lol
Orichalc*m got a nice name.
Oh I thought he was gonna tell us how to get it...
the future of Minecraft ore
It got the shape in minecraft
Crimtain demonite and the hallowed bars are also fictional
Frogot about Palladium and Cobalt
Cobalt is real. And so is Palladium.
@@Urbansprint5100 Huh, neat.
Shroomite specter demonite crimtain and hellstone
am I a joke to you
Demonite,Crimtane,Hellstone,Shroomite,Sectre
And spector bars
You telling me crimtane, demonite, meteorite, hellstone and hallowed ores are real?
Meteorites are real smh my head
Hollowed, Hellstone, Crimtane, Demonite
Shroomite and Spectre aswell
Chloropyte is thingy in leaf
We should have the option to choose more things for the world
Pre hardmode ores
Hardmode ores
Moon types
Tree versions
Etc
Or atleast have a few youd want
Orichalcum is real tho, it was described to have been some kind of copper alloy mined and used as a noble metal in the ancient city of Atlantis
