If i am not a little too late, you could try to delete item.name and type

public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
base.SetStaticDefaults();
DisplayName.SetDefault("Solar Flare Hampax");
}

right after public class horseMace : ModItem

You should have something like this:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace ExplorationMod.Items.Weapons //File Directory
{
    public class horseMace : ModItem
    {
      public override void SetStaticDefaults()
      {
            base.SetStaticDefaults();
            DisplayName.SetDefault("Horse Mace");
       }
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.damage = 20; // Damage
            item.melee = true; // Melee or not
            item.width = 150; //Width
            item.height = 150; //Height
            item.toolTip = "A trusty battlemace!";
            item.useTime = 40;
            item.useAnimation = 25;
            item.useStyle = 1;
            item.knockBack = 10;
            item.value = 250;
            item.rare = 15;
            item.useSound = 1;
            item.autoReuse = true;
            item.useTurn = true;
        }
        public override void AddRecipes()
        {
            ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
            recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock, 1);
            recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches);
            recipe.SetResult(this);
            recipe.AddRecipe();
        }
    }
}

The solution to this is exactly the same as the solution for Item not defining ‘name’. You need to use SetStaticDefaults() like shown above your comment.

Im having the same problem... im trying to make a magic weapon! if you could tell me what to do that would be great!
Heres the code...

using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
 
namespace TheCorrupted.Items.Weapons
{
    public class PentagramStaff : ModItem
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            item.name = "PentagramStaff";         
            item.damage = 34;                       
            item.magic = true;                     //this make the item do magic damage
            item.width = 24;
            item.height = 28;
            item.toolTip = "Casts a red fire ball.";
            item.useTime = 30;
            item.useAnimation = 20;
            item.useStyle = 5;        //this is how the item is holded
            item.noMelee = true;
            item.knockBack = 2;       
            item.value = 1000;
            item.rare = 6;
            item.mana = 5;             //mana use
            item.UseSound = SoundID.Item21;            //this is the sound when you use the item
            item.autoReuse = true;
            item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType ("RedFlame");  //this make the item shoot your projectile
            item.shootSpeed = 8f;    //projectile speed when shoot
        }     
    }
}
