Mythril Ore is the fifth hardest ore in the game. This mineral can only be mined by a Cobalt Drill/Pickaxe or higher. It is found rarely around the world, mostly in the rock layer, or below -600 feet.

Huge Natural Mythril Deposit
Mythril Ore can be spawned into your world by breaking a Demon Altar or a Crimson Altar with a Pwnhammer or Drax. This also applies to other types of ores, such as Cobalt and Adamantite. Upon breaking a second Demon Altar after first loading the world, the Mythril Ore will be placed in your world and the text "Your world has been blessed with Mythril!" will appear.[1] Mythril Ore, together with Cobalt Ore and Adamantite Ore cannot be broken with Explosives.
Mythril is required to craft Mythril gear. It must be smelted into bars at a furnace, however.
Notes[]
- 10 Mythril Bars are required to craft the Mythril Anvil, a crucial item for any Hardmode player.
- Most Mythril Ore can be found in The Underworld via the ceiling.
- You'll need to find 740 Mythril Ore if you want to craft every item that needs Mythril Bars to be crafted (including the Mythril Anvil, the 3 types of Mythril headwear and a stack of 5 Light Discs).
- Mythril Ore is a weaker alternative to Orichalcum.
