This must be intended, but I can't possibly see how or why. Because of the way Pillar RNG works, there's about a 0.12% to get 12-17 fragments (according to a quick Excel simuation I did), which is too few for a weapon. If this is actually intentional, then I'll accept it, but it seems like it would be such a cruel joke to a speedrunner on world record pace to get 17 Solar Fragments, losing 2 minutes to a forced Phantasm Moon Lord fight, and miss the record by a handful of seconds. Even for casual players, it must be weird to defeat a pillar and then be able to immediately craft literally nothing. With 12-14 fragments you could literally only craft 2 building blocks. Seems like an odd reward for the final, epic, high-stakes event capping off a multi-hour playthrough. 18 Fragments seems to me like it should be the minimum drop amount.
