Before you go
- Hardmode access and all three mechanical bosses defeated.
- A Pickaxe Axe or Drax to mine Chlorophyte.
- Mud around deposits you intend to preserve.
Farming steps
- Defeat the three mechanical bosses to unlock Chlorophyte generation.
- Go to the Underground Jungle or Cavern and inspect mud-lined caves for ore deposits.
- Clear nearby threats and identify the edges of each deposit before mining.
- Mine the amount you need with a Pickaxe Axe or Drax.
- Choose several deposits to preserve; leave some ore embedded in surrounding mud.
- Return later and check those retained patches for ore that has spread into nearby mud.
- Collect the new ore while leaving part of each source intact for another growth cycle.
- Smelt or otherwise use the collected ore for the equipment or crafting goal you planned.
- Keep more than one source patch so the gradual farm does not depend on a single deposit.
- If you need a large amount soon, search additional Jungle mud rather than waiting on regrowth.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable but slow: revisit retained deposits, mine spread ore, and keep some source ore with surrounding mud. A deposit fully mined out will not provide another cycle.
Common mistakes
- Searching before defeating all three mechanical bosses; defeat them first to unlock Chlorophyte.
- Stripping an entire patch; leave some ore embedded in mud to preserve a source.
- Removing the surrounding mud; retain nearby mud so the ore can spread.
When to stop or switch
Stop mining when you have enough for the planned craft; leave preserved patches growing while you gather other materials.
