Demonite Ore can be mined with a Gold Pickaxe, bombs, or better, but if the Demonite Ore is above ground level, it can be mined with any pickaxe. Demonite Ore that is found in the ground glows faintly, giving it away amongst the darkness of the underground. Demonite Ore is more commonly found in The Corruption. Normally Demonite Ore is found in clumps of three or four. In The Corruption, this number can increase. It is confirmed that 8 can be found in normal caves.

Upon attaining mid-tier items, an easy way to get large amounts of Demonite ore is to create multiple Suspicious Looking Eyes to summon and defeat the Eye of Cthulhu, as it will always drop at least 30 Demonite ore (often more). This can also be used to get coins fast for items such as the Illegal Gun Parts. Hellstone bars have higher profits, but are also more dangerous to acquire.

When placed, it emits the same particle effect as Ebonstone Blocks.
