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 317 Luminite Bars (1,268 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.

Notes[]
- All items crafted from Luminite produce a faint glow, even with vanity items equipped over them.
Tips[]
- Selling Void Monoliths nets 1750 (233.33%) more than selling the required Luminite or an equivalent number of Luminite Bars.
- If you can consistently beat the Moon Lord, throwing Luminite into Shimmer is a great way to obtain Chlorophyte Bullets.
Trivia[]
- Because Luminite is an endgame exclusive drop from Moon Lord:
- It is not compatible with any Furnace or 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 Lunar Ore in the game's source code.
- Wings made from Luminite are the only craftable wings that do not require Souls of Flight.
- When thrown into Shimmer, Luminite will slowly go down the ore progression until it eventually becomes dirt.
