This article is about the crafting material. For the Bar furniture item, see Tables.

Bars are crafting materials generally crafted from mined ores at a Furnace. Crafting most ore-related items requires that raw ores are first crafted into bars.

There are (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 23 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 21 different types of bars. Obtaining most of these only requires their respective ores as crafting ingredients. Hellstone, Spectre, and Shroomite Bars are exceptions that require a secondary material in addition. Hallowed Bars are not crafted but are instead dropped by the mechanical bosses. Some bars may also be obtained randomly from crates. On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, all bars that have a counterpart can be converted to their counterpart using the Chlorophyte Extractinator.

Notes

• Bars can be placed like furniture, take up a space of one tile, and can be stacked on top of each other. When placed, they can be used just like platforms, to stand on and drop down from, and furniture can be placed on the top.
• Bars cannot be placed without another block underneath them; this makes it impossible to build a house made of bars without the aid of other blocks. This mechanic makes breaking bars similar to cutting down trees, where breaking the bottom bar in a stack will break all bars above it.
  • The only way to make placed bars "float" would be to abuse the fact that Chests with items inside cannot be destroyed. Using bars as support under such a chest would mean they cannot be destroyed until the chest is emptied. This allows them to float in-air without any supporting blocks.

Trivia

• Hallowed Bars are the only bars to not require an ore to be made.
• Although a single bar is consumed when it is placed, the tile sprite appears to be 3 or possible 4 bars stacked on top of each other.
• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The textures of the pre-Hardmode bars, such as Copper Bars, are slightly different to textures of the Hardmode bars in shape (observe the bottom-right corner). The only exception to this is the Chlorophyte Bar, which is the same shape as a pre-Hardmode bars.
• The old bar textures are modified versions of the old Minecraft ingot textures, as seen when comparing e.g. the old Minecraft iron ingot and the old Terraria Iron Bar.
