Luminite is a Hardmode ore dropped exclusively by the Moon Lord in stacks of 70–90 (90–110). It can be used to craft Luminite Bars, which can then be used to craft several end-game items, like the Solar, Nebula, Vortex, and Stardust tools and armor.

Crafting all items (excluding ammunition) requires a total of 327 Luminite Bars (1,308 Luminite; requires defeating the Moon Lord 15–19 / 12–15 times). Crafting all items pertaining to one type of Lunar Fragment (i.e., armor, wings, pickaxe, and hamaxe) requires 68 Luminite Bars (204 Luminite) in addition to 85 of the Lunar Fragment; this requires defeating the Moon Lord only 3 / 2-3 times.

Selling Void Monoliths nets 1750 (233.33%) more than selling the required Luminite or an equivalent number of Luminite Bars.

Trivia

Luminite differs from other ores in numerous ways:
- It is only dropped by a boss.
- It is not crafted into bars at a Furnace or Hellforge/Hardmode Forge.
- It cannot be detected by the Spelunker Potion, Magic Lantern, Metal Detector, or Suspicious Looking Tentacle.
- It does not have a specific associated armor set or sword.
- There are no alternate ores for it.
- It can be mined with any pickaxe or equivalents.
Luminite is referred to as LunarOre in the game's source code, despite the differences from normal ores outlined above.
