Ores are various types of minerals found in the game. Most can be found underground and very rarely on the surface like Iron Ore and Copper Ore. Others are only obtainable while mining or from sky islands. Demonite Ore can also be obatined by killing the Eye of Cthulhu or the Eater of Worlds. All ores can be smelted into bars at a furnace; iron and gold ores are also used to create Ironskin Potion and Spelunker Potion respectively. The resulting bars can be crafted into Armor, Pickaxes, Swords, etc. Hellstone may only be smelted using a Hellforge or Adamantite Forge. Adamantite may only be smelted at an Adamantite Forge.
