Where to find it
Meteors can fall after you first beat the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, with a chance of landing at midnight. A message tells you one has fallen somewhere on the surface, away from spawn and NPC houses.
In Hardmode
Meteors can still fall in Hardmode, but Meteor Heads no longer drop Meteorite.

Tips
- You need a pickaxe with at least 50% power, such as Tungsten or Gold, to mine Meteorite.
- Wear an Obsidian Skull or drink an Obsidian Skin Potion to avoid burns.
- Place a chest near areas you want to protect, since meteors will not land within range of one.
