The Destroyer
Those accursed Lihzahrd Bricks - Those of you who prefer the Claw or the Ghost Pick kind of get shafted when you want to build something with them. There are a few options that present themselves.
1: Require a small amount Lihzahrd Bricks or the Picksaw in the crafting recipe - this forces the player to have gained the ability to break L. Bricks one way or another.. The problem with this solution is that neither the bricks nor the Psaw make for a logical component for the tools.
2: Gate Ectoplasm and the Autohammer past the Golem. This means that you don't have to wait for the Picksaw drop, but still puts you past the "Picksaw Tier." Golem isn't that difficult, and this also gives another reason to actually go out of your way to kill him.
3: JUST GIVE THEM THE FRACKING ABILITY TO BEGIN WITH. In order to get Ectoplasm or Shroomite you have to defeat Plantera. What do you get every single time you best Plantera? A Temple Key. What does the Temple Key unlock? The Lihzahrd Temple. So there's no reason to gate players from breaking bricks after that, unless you want to force players to use the key. If that's the case, either of the two above methods would work.
