Sprites Heavenite

[Electroman102]

We all know about the Floating Islands, which only has 2 uses: farming wyverns and harpies, and looting the chests. After a few runs, the Floating Islands themselves are useless. Thus introducing: Heavanite; an ore that is only found in the space layer!

How you get it

Heavenite will grow in clusters in cloud/rain cloud the space biome, similar to chlorophyte.

A few things.

First of all, the armor set is not at all tempting to use compared to Meteor Armor, even disregarding the latter’s overpowered synergy with the Space Gun.

Second, if my math is correct, crafting just the armor set requires 75 bars, translating to 225 pieces of ore. This means that a floating island would practically have to be entirely made of ore to provide enough Starlight ore to work with.

Fundamentally, I cannot agree with the idea of permanently damaging my floating islands to harvest a nonrenewable resource. Outside of reducing the bar costs, one thing I’d suggest to make this concept much better is to make Starlight Ore work like Chlorophyte, converting Dirt Blocks into Starlight Ore when in the Sky/Space layer. Also, you should come up with a better set bonus for Starlight Armor. I’m not gonna put the words into your mouth; I’d rather see what you can come up with yourself.

Thanks for the feedback!

I strongly disagree with having it grow in clouds/rain clouds. Those blocks are still non-renewable and limited in quantity. Farming Chlorophyte works because mud is plentiful and easy to get, which is why I suggested Dirt Blocks as the substrate for Starlight Ore.

And I don't really want to call out the new set bonus as uncreative, but what I had in mind for the set bonus was more like changing the Starfury to work the way it did in 1.1.

You should tell what kind of pickaxe I takes to mine it and make heavenite bars give the buff heavenly that gives +20 health, regeneration, and +2 defense for 10 seconds when stepped on

The tools don't seem to be particularly useful, as they're too similar to Crimtane tools.
Apart from the armor set, the ore should also have other unique uses, such as being able to be crafted into a block that always causes ranged attacks to bounce off it, a few magic weapons, and there could also be a new ranged weapon.

Similar to crimtane? I thought it was more similar to meteor

Also, I’m planning on adding another weapon to this.
