Terraria: Chlorophyte

Farm and Mine this Precious Ore

Chlorophyte is an ore that is used numerous ways to craft multiple armor, weapon and tool sets. This green metal can be found in the Underground Jungle biome, which spawns in every world. Chlorophyte can be mined after you've defeated the three Mechanical Bosses of Hard Mode and used the Souls they drop to make a Pickaxe Axe or Drax (either is fine, pickaxes have more knockback and less annoying sound, however). What many players may not realize is that Chlorophyte grows, and fewer still will know that you can make your own Chlorophyte farms in order to ensure a steady, safe supply of this precious ore.

Once you've met this important goal of eliminating all three bosses, you can head to the Underground Jungle to begin mining Chlorophyte and finding other useful metals, drops, and accessories. While adventuring there, save the mud blocks you mine while carving out the caves.

You'll notice that the deeper you go, the larger the veins get. This is because you're initially seeing Chlorophyte in the Underground layer, but it grows faster when in the Cavern layer. We can use this to our advantage, since we can utilize 2k+ Chlorophyte ore if we want to craft everything available.

Don't smelt all the Chlorophyte you get. Save at least 5-6 ore so that you can plant them. Yes, plant them. Chlorophyte grows in mud. Put it in your hotbar after making some large squares of mud and you can place it like any other block. Put one Chlorophyte right in the center of a big square, 7-9 blocks wide and tall. It has some internal limits, and the first farm I've shown here is not optimized, nor is the second. Fact is, I don't care about it being perfect but will be working to widen this farm so that I can waste less time placing blocks and have more Chlorophyte grow faster.

Carve out a large section in the Cavern layer, deep underground (at least halfway to the underworld) and have plenty of room. Your new Chlorophyte Pickaxe should help speed that up, particularly if you can reforge +speed on it. Do this away from the Crimson or Corruption so that it doesn't move in on your Chlorophyte farm.

Mine the Chlorophyte, and have a stack of mud blocks with you. You can now plant some of the Chlorophyte again to repeat the process and safely smelt the new ore into bars. Space it out further than I did, and it will grow more efficiently. Make it at least 40 blocks in between, if not more.

I carved out a second level further up in order to grow more. Going even higher would have been better, but this works for now!
