Cobalt Ore belongs to the first tier of the early Hardmode ores. Upon the first altar broken, either it or Palladium Ore can spawn in the underground and cavern layers. Mining Cobalt Ore requires a Molten Pickaxe or better.

As with all early Hardmode ores, decreasing quantities of the ore spawn with every third altar broken afterwards, it is immune to explosives, and it can be obtained from Hardmode crates.

Trivia

  • In real life, pure cobalt is actually silver-like in color, however it is never found pure in nature. The blue color alludes rather to cobalt blue, a compound containing cobalt oxide and alumina; its primary historic use was as a pigment, especially in glass or porcelain. Cobalt blue was one of the few mineral blue pigments, and thus was an extremely valuable commodity.

History

  • Desktop 1.3.0.1: Placed Cobalt has a new texture. The previous placed sprite was Cobalt Ore (placed) (old).png
