    Chlorophyte Ore slowly spreads as long as you're in Hardmode and it's in the Underground layer, converting nearby Mud and Jungle Grass blocks into ore. Underground Jungles are found underneath the Jungle Biome. [1] The depth you'll have to dig varies on your map size:
    • Small: Minimum 60 ft. underground, maximum 420 ft. underground
    • Medium: Minimum 90 ft. underground, maximum 630 ft. underground
    • Large: Minimum 120 ft. underground, maximum 840 ft. underground

    This means you'll need at least the Pickaxe Axe or the Drax to mine Chlorophyte Ore. [2]
    • To craft the Pickaxe Axe or the Drax, you'll need 18 Hallowed Bars, 1 Soul of Fright, 1 Soul of Might, and 1 Soul of Sight. You can craft it at either a Mythril or Orichalcum Anvil. [3] [4]
    • You'll have to defeat all three mechanical bosses to make these tools. The Destroyer drops the Soul of Might, The Twins drop the Soul of Sight, and Skeletron Prime drops Soul of Fright. [5]
