The glitch does not allow you to get hardmode ores in pre-hm. The altar also disappears after the world converts to hardmode if you set it up in pre-hm, not only if you disconnect from the server.

@zamzone0770 true. But that also means we can FINALLY break those damn DAs in the way of a mine cart track or a build we want to put down somewhere! And we don't even have to ruin the world either I'd we didn't want ore to begin with! 😊 😃
@@EthyrielY There is a way to make it so that you don't have to right click on the top right corner of the campfire to break the altar. You need to right click the same corner of the campfire once to get ore like normal, but then you can turn on smart cursor and can right click anywhere on the right half of the screen. This works to create new ore as long as you don't flip the switch, which breaks the altar permanently if you flip the switch at least twice in rapid succession.
"How do you get any item in the game or break the evil altars infinite amount of times? To answer that question, we need to talk about parallel universes."
I didn't know that well, because it was so hard trying to get onto the corruption without dying (I was in master mode) so when I finally get to the demon altars I destroyed every single one that I saw and instantly use the magic mirror to go home
Curiosity for math nerds: Since redigit coded the ore spawning with a function that’s called Harmonic Series (1/n), you can technically cover the *whole* world with ore, given enough time. If it was coded differently, say 1/(n^2), there would be a limit of ore spawned, even after breaking infinite altars, more specifically it would never exceed double the ore the first altar breaking would generate found this cool and will prolly use it in some project and you should too
There are two things that might prevent total transmutation: how the game selects blocks and the smallest number of blocks that it will transmute. I'm not 100% sure if the first one will actually prevent it, but if the game randomly and independently selects blocks to transmute each time, then you will start running into a problem of the game spawning ore on top of ore, which will mean that over time you're actually getting (1/n)*(1-p) bits of ore in your world, with n being the number of altars destroyed and p being the proportion of your world that is currently ore. It feels like that will prevent the world from having everything that can be turned into ore turn into ore, however math is weird so I don't know. However the other part might be a problem: depending on how the game decides the amount of ore to spawn, there could be a point where the amount of ore the game decides to spawn is rounded down to 0, meaning that no more ore will spawn. Or it could round up somewhere, causing the first thing to not actually be a problem because it actually breaks from the harmonic series at some point and stays above it.
@@bastian_5975In your scenario you can approximate it with the following differential equation where x is the amount of ore spawned, a is the amount of ore spawned after the first altar broken, k is the total amount of spawning spaces in the world, and the initial condition x(1) = 0: dx/dt = a/x * (k - x)/k Wolfram Alpha kindly gives us the solution x(t) = k (W(-e^((a - a t)/k^2 - 1)) + 1), where W is the product log or Lambert W function. There is no solution for t where x(t) = k, moreover, the limit of x(t) as t->inf is k. Therefore you can get arbitrarily close to filling up your world but never fill up your world with hardmode ore, as opposed to if you generated the maximum amount of ore every time, you would still finish (it would just be exponential in k/a). However, do note that the ODE is just an approximation, if you keep getting lucky then you could still fill up the world.
@@bastian_5975for fun, I did the math on if ore value gets overwritten, what is the solution (ignoring rounding issues). Can’t really do it as a sum, because subsequent partial sums require previous values of subsums, so the best I could hope for was a recursion sequence. Start with s(1) = p, where p is a value between 0 and 1 referring to how much of the world gets covered by ore with the first altar. Then to the previous sum of n-1 iterations, you add p/n times the uncovered portion of the world which is (1-s(n-1)). This leaves the nonlinear recursion relation s(n) = (1-p/n)s(n-1) + p/n. At this point I was ready to call it quits because even approaching the conversion of that sequence was far above my pay grade. But for shits n giggles I plugged it into Wolfram Alpha. Believe it or not, WolframAlpha pooped out an analytical solution in terms of the Gamma function. I cannot begin to explain to you why it’s the answer, but here it is in terms of factorials. s(n) = 1 - (n-p)!/(n!(-p)!) This converges to 1! So the whole world will get covered in ore eventually. Why? Tl;dr: (-p)! is a positive constant close to 1 and smaller factorial over bigger factorial means that fraction will converge to 0. Converge to 0: a limit to infinity you can use the stirling approximation to get that fraction to (n-p)^(n-p)/n^n * sqrt(1-p/n) * 1/((-p)!e^p). That first factor is less than n^(n-p)/n^n = 1/n^p which converges to 0. The sqrt converges to 1 and the third factor is a constant.
Because the amount of ore each alter generates follows the harmonic series (but for each ore, it actually doesn't change to 1/2 until after the first 3 are broken, then 1/3 until the first 6), which actually diverges to infinity as much as it seems like it won't, you could- assuming the terraria world was infinite- actually generate infinite ore. However, for a reference of how long this will take, let's start at the first demon alter you break and call that 1. In order for your world to have 100 times as much cobalt/palladium ore in it than you would after breaking 1, and breaking the alters at a rate of 1 alter every millisecond, you would need to continue breaking alters for roughly 1,426,002,993,465,483,882,743,766,655,714,962 and a half years. For a reference, the big bang is generally understood to have occurred 13.8 billion years ago. This number is 103,333,550,251,122,020,488,678.5 times bigger than that. Now while I couldn't find exact sizes for each vein of cobalt added, we do know that 250 veins are added at alter 1. If we were to assume that every single one of the 20,160,000 blocks in the terraria large world was replaceable by cobalt/palladium, and none of the other ores were added in-between, we'll throw a random guess out and say the ores generate in vein sizes of about 50 per vein. For 50 per vein, filling up that world would need 403,200 veins, and dividing that by the 250 veins we get from alter 1 yields 1612.8, which is the number our harmonic series needs to pass in order to fill the whole world. But remember, the massive number I calculated earlier ONLY accounts for the harmonic series up to ONE-HUNDRED. So even if this program had been running since the start of the universe over a hundred sextillion times, AND you factored in ALL THREE ores generating instead of just the cobalt, you still would not have generated one full world of ore using demon alters. Chances are far more likely that would game would have lost so much floating point precision in figuring out how much ore to generate that it simply would have rounded down to 0 and not given you anything by this point. Either that or it has a minimum positive value it yields, in which case this may actually reach a full world far faster, but it would still be unreasonably slow.
Someone already filled a world with hardmode ores & they only broke 1,000,000 altars. The video where they did it was even mentioned in this video. That means terraria definitely rounds the number of ore veins up. It also wouldn't make sense to spawn a smaller ore vein, because it would look weird & confuse the player, normally such high precision would never be required, it would probably be harder to code, & if it worked like that, it wouldn't have been possible to fill a world with hardmode ores by only breaking 1,000,000 altars. Assuming each altar spawns 1 vein of 50 ores anywhere in the world, filling the world with hardmode ores would only require breaking 403,200 altars.
@@Mo_Mauve I know, I was simply doing the math under the assumption that computers could and practically DID compute with infinite decimal precision. I figured it was quite likely that they rounded up, and the 50 ore per vein was entirely an assumption for the sake of having a number to calculate with, not a precise count.
Spot on- I believe it's technically possible to go _faster_ than the game's tickrate with wire, but due to client-server weirdness of MCGO it doesn't work with wire. (If it did I could hypothetically make a 4000Hz Demon Altar spawner.) But, I _did_ find a glitch that allows for tick-perfect altar spawning, though this video was already nine minutes long at the point I discovered that, so it's getting added to a future project.
@@JacobFrancom I use Logitech G-hub, though an Autohotkey script would work just as well. There's a macroless method to do it tick-perfectly (ergo, faster than autoclicker) that will be featured in two videos or so. It involves a _very_ strange combination of bugs.
An interesting thing of note, the math (described at 7:05) implies: lim_(n->∞) sum_1^n (1/x). Which tends toward infinity over time. The falloff is indeed bad, with ~100 clicks getting you 5x the ore of breaking the first demon altar, and 10,000 clicks only being around ~10x the ore of the first demon altar. But technically speaking, you could turn the entire world into ore with enough time.
Hey there my guy. So I tried a bunch of things myself with the invincibility setup and found that, 1. You can use shimmer to permenantly be invincible to everything 2. Enemies seem to target different locations when you try to move, for example walking enemies drop through platforms if you stand on them and press down while in the setup. Im sure you tried that stuff already but in case you didn't, here you go.
Thanks for reminding me about Shimmer! It works as invulnerability against everything _but_ bosses, since the devs figured people would use it to cheese otherwise. I'm going to need to look into enemy targeting- I haven't actually looked into that yet! I That sounds interesting, and like it might have some applications for potential boss cheese. Cheers!
So I have a little Update on the mobs moving weird thing, it seems to only work on multiplayer, probably bc the server thinks the player is moving until he is litteraly off screen. However, be aware that the server is still smart enough to only see possible movement, so if you are running into a wall, the server knows and the enemies will target your position on the wall. The best friend to test this on is a ghost or bosses like eye of cthulu. And another little thing, the bone Helmet and probably also Sporsack work in the setup as well.
@@menegy2982 I wonder if it's possible to trap the parallel universe version of you in a box & then walk away so that you don't have to worry about enemies attacking you.
@@Mo_Mauve unfortunatly the parallel self disappears after a second and when it goes offscreen so no luck there. Also walking away would remove the parallel self anyway, bc the setup is required.
I've just started a little bit of my own testing on this and it also works on crimson hearts and shadow orbs which I guess is a good way to get a ton of money particularly if you have an NPC right next to you to sell the stuff to quickly. I'm about to test a few more things like getting hardmode ore pre-hardmode and farming queen bee
This is super funny to me. When you first showed off the CGO, the first thing i did was recreate it. Second thing i did was do this exact thing. I made an automatic wraith farm with my friend. This was 2 months ago.
At 226 alters broken, you reach the amount of ore equivalent to breaking the first alter 6 times. (not counting veins that overlap, cause remember, the more ore, the less space can be turned into ore.) edit: ok, I'm just gonna make a little list, cause otherwise, that is just a single data point, that can be little more than a random fun fact. Taking the amounts that get closest adding the equivalent of one additional first alter: 1 alter gets as much as a first alter (duh). 4 alters get 208.33% of a first alter. 11 alters: 301.99% of a first. 30: 399.5% 83 500.21% 226 600% 615 699.97% 1673 799.99% 4549 900% 12366 1000%
@EthyrielY it took me roughly a minute total to scroll down to 12000 in the Excel sheet, so I'm not gonna go further, but plotting the points I've mentioned on a graph might give something close to the same result. I am not proficient enough in Excel to do that, though, and I don't know if it would work well to make a quick program in python to calculate it, becuase floating point stuff probably isn't presice enough to go that far. edit: Ok, writing the program will probably take less time than it took to write this message, so I'll just do it.

I did try cutting out unnecessary parts, but it didn't really make a difference, and I wanna get back to my Calamity playthrough. At somewhere around 50-60 days, it hits 20 times the first alter. Interesting thing happened in that playhrough. I usually never actually break any alters, but when I killed wof, some tier 1 were distributed in the world (both cobalt and palladium. FTW seed.). I decided to break an alter a bit later on, but no new ores were distibutef in the world. My current theory is that the thing in the middle of Calamity's astral infection broke an alter, but I don't know why the second alter didn't produce any ores. Possibly just mods not working properly. edit4: I figured out the hm ore thing. And I wrote a quick program, that prints all of the items a door will produce (in [i:(number)] form) in lines of 50 items, that I can then copy paste to the chat in a Terraria world to see what that door will produce. I haven't quite figured out how to predict the items without transmuting the input door a few times first. it seems to jump 64 whenever it goes from door to item or opposite, but jump 36 in every other situation. I have used this method to look around for calamity items. I even got an undocumented unobtainable item (the starting bag (not to be confused with the starter bag)), and an item that crashes tmodloader when whatever contains it is saved. I have found, but not reached the ids of the 3 other unobtainable Calamity items (I don't have all of the doors, yet). I still haven't found cosmic plushie. meteor door gets that super op pickaxe. I haven't tried that pick (or any of the other stuff) out cause I haven't obtained it legitemately yet. Cryogen master death mode with a yoyo and fast gun is a really enjoyable fight!
@@Illogical. The first set of altars generate as many ores as the first set of altars, the first 4 sets of altars generate about twice as many ores as the first set of altars, etc.
I actually had no idea that they removed that. Because I was a masochist and purified my words, I didn't break demon altars to save myself some work. ...this meant I had to fish for all of my hardmode ores. So, this is the opposite, because if you do this enough you run out of sotne.
@@treymathis1189-- Correct, as of 1.4.4, demon altars no longer have a 2/3 chance to convert a random stone block outside of my containment specially placed to eat most of my jungle before I even notice, which means I can stop fishing all of my hardmode ore. Phew.
Happy to! There's going to be a few more videos on it since it's such a versatile glitch. Funny bit of trivia: I discovered MCGO, wasn't recording, had no idea what I did and lost it for about four months, and then re-discovered it. It seems simple in retrospect, just "Campfire Glitch in Multiplayer", but at the time it just didn't occur to me to test that heh
7:15 I’d like to add that the reason you *can* turn all the stone into ore is because the infinite sum 1+1/2+1/3+…=inifinity, meaning that given time (though probably a large amount of time) you could still get the whole world.
There's a new method that is several-hundred times faster than the method used in this video, which can saturate ~99.9% of the world with ore in less than 10- minutes, via being able to use wire (and therefore arbitrarily fast timers for activation) It really is just a numbers game!
@@julienbronsch5039 each time you destroy an altar. Alongside new ores being spread, random evil blocks are also placed in the world. So when you break this many altars. If you don't purify your world it'll be 100% corrupt in probably a few hours.
@@william_.575 Looked it up, it says "removed 1.4.4, september 2022." My comment is from summer of 2023. I think after being in the game since 1.1 (2011), it must have not caught my attention while reading the patch notes.
The ore produced follows the harmonic series, which you'll find has a limit of +Infinity, so yeah in time you can brute force any amount. Also, watch for rolling rocks.

I found a setup where you use a shadow or crimson orb instead of altar for infinite orb drops too. if you try this with crates of any kind (must be MCGO) it will duplicate them
The shadow orbs is the topic of a future video, alongside Queen Bee spawns. (It also works with Plantera.) Had no idea about the crates! It works with alot of furniture for duping, as far as I know, but be wary because it can also cause spectacular crashes on many others too.

Also I do want to note after you get to the shell phone, anything after is non-existent and if you try to grab it it will disappear. Although I didn't not go very far after.

Stay tuned for that!)
Could you wire a 1 second timer to where the campfire is so when it’s active it will start the duplication glitch with out you haveing to press it your self
I've since found an altar-breaking method that gets really damn close to the theoretical limit, and can actually get quite close to a "100%-filled-with-ore" world in ~20 minutes, while AFK. ...Doing the math to reverse-engineer how many altars are actually being broken would be interesting.
Worth noting that, theoretically, if you broke the altar infinitely, you would eventually fill the entire world. As long as only stone is looked at for replacing, it will eventually replace all the stone in the world with ore. Simply because, mathematically, adding up the reciprocals of all the natural numbers, as described in the video, diverges to infinity. Granted this hinges on the ore blessing not being able to fail to generate and not being able to replace its own ores…
There’s a newer setup which can get really close to this limit, by breaking demon altars a few thousand times faster. The game does not like this (~5 seconds / frame), but it doesn’t crash surprisingly.

Hey Ethyrie! have you thought about using this glitch on the jungle temple door? I mean, I know it doesn't count until plantera is defeated, and you can get in with hoiked platforms, but can you completely delete the door or transmute it? (EDIT) Actually... on this same matter, isn't bubble block technically considered a furniture item? How is bubble block effected?
You can totally transmute the door into something else- i.e. you can turn it into any other door in the game. Alternatively... You can turn any other door _into a jungle temple door._ (And the only way to get rid of temple doors is with temple keys...) Depending upon how I get through my list of topics, I may make a video on that in the future. And, in reply to the last thing: Bubble blocks are technically blocks so, aside from looking glitchy visually, they don't do anything else interesting.
I’m playing on console and when I block swap the sand the trapdoor breaks and the sand falls but the bast statue stays there for 5ish seconds and it’s not working
Due to version differences, Host and Play on PC and Host and Play on console function a little differently, leading to differences in the initial setup. To perform the setup on Console, you'll need to either a.) Join a server, and set it up there or b.) Have a friend join when you’re hosting, and have them set it up for you. This is due to version differences with how hosting works. On PC, hosting actually makes you a client to a server hosted in the background. On console, you are the host, meaning de-syncing doesn’t work. Hence why you need to connect to the server or have someone else connect- being the Host when using Host and Play won’t work, unfortunately. Once the setup is complete, the glitch should function identical to PC.
man idk why the statue don't break when i place the sand im on phone and i check and i was on multiplayer ;-; i have been trying for about more than an hour 😢
Well, no. The amount of ore generated is modified by the equation Amount*(1/X) where X is the number of times ore of that type has previously been generated(always starts at 1) after you've broken one. So (1/1) then (1/2) then (1/3), etc. Make a graphing calculator plot (1/X) and what you'll see is that as X approaches infinity, (1/X) approaches 0. Since this is a videogame and not theoretical math, there is some number of demon altars that will eventually stop producing ores entirely, a hard cap. I would assume that after the 300th altar (1/100) very few ores were being generated, likely less than 10 total blocks every time, and after the 3000th (1/1000) altar nothing was probably being generated at all.

Curiosity for math nerds:
Since redigit coded the ore spawning with a function that’s called Harmonic Series (1/n), you can technically cover the *whole* world with ore, given enough time.
If it was coded differently, say 1/(n^2), there would be a limit of ore spawned, even after breaking infinite altars, more specifically it would never exceed double the ore the first altar breaking would generate
found this cool and will prolly use it in some project and you should too
There are two things that might prevent total transmutation: how the game selects blocks and the smallest number of blocks that it will transmute.
I'm not 100% sure if the first one will actually prevent it, but if the game randomly and independently selects blocks to transmute each time, then you will start running into a problem of the game spawning ore on top of ore, which will mean that over time you're actually getting (1/n)*(1-p) bits of ore in your world, with n being the number of altars destroyed and p being the proportion of your world that is currently ore. It feels like that will prevent the world from having everything that can be turned into ore turn into ore, however math is weird so I don't know.
However the other part might be a problem: depending on how the game decides the amount of ore to spawn, there could be a point where the amount of ore the game decides to spawn is rounded down to 0, meaning that no more ore will spawn. Or it could round up somewhere, causing the first thing to not actually be a problem because it actually breaks from the harmonic series at some point and stays above it.
@@bastian_5975In your scenario you can approximate it with the following differential equation where x is the amount of ore spawned, a is the amount of ore spawned after the first altar broken, k is the total amount of spawning spaces in the world, and the initial condition x(1) = 0:
dx/dt = a/x * (k - x)/k
Wolfram Alpha kindly gives us the solution x(t) = k (W(-e^((a - a t)/k^2 - 1)) + 1), where W is the product log or Lambert W function.
There is no solution for t where x(t) = k, moreover, the limit of x(t) as t->inf is k.
Therefore you can get arbitrarily close to filling up your world but never fill up your world with hardmode ore, as opposed to if you generated the maximum amount of ore every time, you would still finish (it would just be exponential in k/a). However, do note that the ODE is just an approximation, if you keep getting lucky then you could still fill up the world.
Qual nível de cálculo eu preciso para alcançar essas deduções? Hahahahah, é sério, para mim vocês são gênios
@@bastian_5975for fun, I did the math on if ore value gets overwritten, what is the solution (ignoring rounding issues).
Can’t really do it as a sum, because subsequent partial sums require previous values of subsums, so the best I could hope for was a recursion sequence. Start with s(1) = p, where p is a value between 0 and 1 referring to how much of the world gets covered by ore with the first altar.
Then to the previous sum of n-1 iterations, you add p/n times the uncovered portion of the world which is (1-s(n-1)). This leaves the nonlinear recursion relation s(n) = (1-p/n)s(n-1) + p/n.
At this point I was ready to call it quits because even approaching the conversion of that sequence was far above my pay grade. But for shits n giggles I plugged it into Wolfram Alpha.
Believe it or not, WolframAlpha pooped out an analytical solution in terms of the Gamma function. I cannot begin to explain to you why it’s the answer, but here it is in terms of factorials.
s(n) = 1 - (n-p)!/(n!(-p)!)
This converges to 1! So the whole world will get covered in ore eventually. Why? Tl;dr: (-p)! is a positive constant close to 1 and smaller factorial over bigger factorial means that fraction will converge to 0.
Converge to 0: a limit to infinity you can use the stirling approximation to get that fraction to (n-p)^(n-p)/n^n * sqrt(1-p/n) * 1/((-p)!e^p). That first factor is less than n^(n-p)/n^n = 1/n^p which converges to 0. The sqrt converges to 1 and the third factor is a constant.

Because the amount of ore each alter generates follows the harmonic series (but for each ore, it actually doesn't change to 1/2 until after the first 3 are broken, then 1/3 until the first 6), which actually diverges to infinity as much as it seems like it won't, you could- assuming the terraria world was infinite- actually generate infinite ore. However, for a reference of how long this will take, let's start at the first demon alter you break and call that 1. In order for your world to have 100 times as much cobalt/palladium ore in it than you would after breaking 1, and breaking the alters at a rate of 1 alter every millisecond, you would need to continue breaking alters for roughly 1,426,002,993,465,483,882,743,766,655,714,962 and a half years. For a reference, the big bang is generally understood to have occurred 13.8 billion years ago. This number is 103,333,550,251,122,020,488,678.5 times bigger than that. Now while I couldn't find exact sizes for each vein of cobalt added, we do know that 250 veins are added at alter 1. If we were to assume that every single one of the 20,160,000 blocks in the terraria large world was replaceable by cobalt/palladium, and none of the other ores were added in-between, we'll throw a random guess out and say the ores generate in vein sizes of about 50 per vein. For 50 per vein, filling up that world would need 403,200 veins, and dividing that by the 250 veins we get from alter 1 yields 1612.8, which is the number our harmonic series needs to pass in order to fill the whole world. But remember, the massive number I calculated earlier ONLY accounts for the harmonic series up to ONE-HUNDRED. So even if this program had been running since the start of the universe over a hundred sextillion times, AND you factored in ALL THREE ores generating instead of just the cobalt, you still would not have generated one full world of ore using demon alters. Chances are far more likely that would game would have lost so much floating point precision in figuring out how much ore to generate that it simply would have rounded down to 0 and not given you anything by this point. Either that or it has a minimum positive value it yields, in which case this may actually reach a full world far faster, but it would still be unreasonably slow.
dude
Someone already filled a world with hardmode ores & they only broke 1,000,000 altars. The video where they did it was even mentioned in this video. That means terraria definitely rounds the number of ore veins up. It also wouldn't make sense to spawn a smaller ore vein, because it would look weird & confuse the player, normally such high precision would never be required, it would probably be harder to code, & if it worked like that, it wouldn't have been possible to fill a world with hardmode ores by only breaking 1,000,000 altars. Assuming each altar spawns 1 vein of 50 ores anywhere in the world, filling the world with hardmode ores would only require breaking 403,200 altars.
@@Mo_Mauve I know, I was simply doing the math under the assumption that computers could and practically DID compute with infinite decimal precision. I figured it was quite likely that they rounded up, and the 50 ore per vein was entirely an assumption for the sake of having a number to calculate with, not a precise count.

This beginning of the video just made me think about how the dryad would react to an entire world being corrupted XD
Slight correction, the rate this works at is limited by the game's tick rate.
Spot on- I believe it's technically possible to go _faster_ than the game's tickrate with wire, but due to client-server weirdness of MCGO it doesn't work with wire. (If it did I could hypothetically make a 4000Hz Demon Altar spawner.)
But, I _did_ find a glitch that allows for tick-perfect altar spawning, though this video was already nine minutes long at the point I discovered that, so it's getting added to a future project.

@@JacobFrancom I use Logitech G-hub, though an Autohotkey script would work just as well.

An interesting thing of note, the math (described at 7:05) implies: lim_(n->∞) sum_1^n (1/x). Which tends toward infinity over time.
The falloff is indeed bad, with ~100 clicks getting you 5x the ore of breaking the first demon altar, and 10,000 clicks only being around ~10x the ore of the first demon altar. But technically speaking, you could turn the entire world into ore with enough time.
Hey there my guy. So I tried a bunch of things myself with the invincibility setup and found that,
1. You can use shimmer to permenantly be invincible to everything
2. Enemies seem to target different locations when you try to move, for example walking enemies drop through platforms if you stand on them and press down while in the setup.
Im sure you tried that stuff already but in case you didn't, here you go.
Thanks for reminding me about Shimmer! It works as invulnerability against everything _but_ bosses, since the devs figured people would use it to cheese otherwise.
I'm going to need to look into enemy targeting- I haven't actually looked into that yet! I That sounds interesting, and like it might have some applications for potential boss cheese. Cheers!
So I have a little Update on the mobs moving weird thing, it seems to only work on multiplayer, probably bc the server thinks the player is moving until he is litteraly off screen. However, be aware that the server is still smart enough to only see possible movement, so if you are running into a wall, the server knows and the enemies will target your position on the wall. The best friend to test this on is a ghost or bosses like eye of cthulu.
And another little thing, the bone Helmet and probably also Sporsack work in the setup as well.

At 226 alters broken, you reach the amount of ore equivalent to breaking the first alter 6 times. (not counting veins that overlap, cause remember, the more ore, the less space can be turned into ore.)
edit: ok, I'm just gonna make a little list, cause otherwise, that is just a single data point, that can be little more than a random fun fact.
Taking the amounts that get closest adding the equivalent of one additional first alter:
1 alter gets as much as a first alter (duh).
4 alters get 208.33% of a first alter.
11 alters: 301.99% of a first.
30: 399.5%
83 500.21%

Interesting thing happened in that playhrough. I usually never actually break any alters, but when I killed wof, some tier 1 were distributed in the world (both cobalt and palladium. FTW seed.). I decided to break an alter a bit later on, but no new ores were distibutef in the world.

I haven't quite figured out how to predict the items without transmuting the input door a few times first. it seems to jump 64 whenever it goes from door to item or opposite, but jump 36 in every other situation. I have used this method to look around for calamity items. I even got an undocumented unobtainable item (the starting bag (not to be confused with the starter bag)), and an item that crashes tmodloader when whatever contains it is saved. I have found, but not reached the ids of the 3 other unobtainable Calamity items (I don't have all of the doors, yet). I still haven't found cosmic plushie. meteor door gets that super op pickaxe.

7:15 I’d like to add that the reason you *can* turn all the stone into ore is because the infinite sum 1+1/2+1/3+…=inifinity, meaning that given time (though probably a large amount of time) you could still get the whole world.

Worth noting that, theoretically, if you broke the altar infinitely, you would eventually fill the entire world. As long as only stone is looked at for replacing, it will eventually replace all the stone in the world with ore. Simply because, mathematically, adding up the reciprocals of all the natural numbers, as described in the video, diverges to infinity.
Granted this hinges on the ore blessing not being able to fail to generate and not being able to replace its own ores…
There’s a newer setup which can get really close to this limit, by breaking demon altars a few thousand times faster. The game does not like this (~5 seconds / frame), but it doesn’t crash surprisingly.
So when I block swapped the wood into sand, the bast statue just floats there, and I am unable to place the hardened sand. Not sure anyone will help but if you can, thanks.

Thanks for the transmutation guide, I just have trouble because my campfire dissapear everytime I trigger the switch.
It's off when I place the campfire, I toggle three times and it just complitely dissapear. I tried exiting and reentering my game, still doesn't work. All my measurments are as shown. Everything seems to work except the campfire.
Thanks for your help
Huh, interesting- You can try setting up the campfire in Singleplayer, and then joining multiplayer with the Campfire already setup. It takes an extra step, but it should avoid the issue you're having.
Wouldn't an auto-clicker set at 60 clicks per second be a bit better for PC performance without losing any efficiency? If I remember right, everything is only handled at 60 game ticks per second
Hey Ethyrie! have you thought about using this glitch on the jungle temple door? I mean, I know it doesn't count until plantera is defeated, and you can get in with hoiked platforms, but can you completely delete the door or transmute it?
(EDIT) Actually... on this same matter, isn't bubble block technically considered a furniture item? How is bubble block effected?
You can totally transmute the door into something else- i.e. you can turn it into any other door in the game.
Alternatively... You can turn any other door _into a jungle temple door._ (And the only way to get rid of temple doors is with temple keys...)
Depending upon how I get through my list of topics, I may make a video on that in the future.
And, in reply to the last thing: Bubble blocks are technically blocks so, aside from looking glitchy visually, they don't do anything else interesting.
@@EthyrielY :) Thanks. Also dang, I didn't know that about bubble blocks.
from an item that can heal you into an all powerful infinite generator of strong minerals
5:08 Schrödinger’s Bast Statue?
Seems Edward finally went outside looking at his last upload's date
I can't get it to work on my switch it just won't break the the statue
I’m playing on console and when I block swap the sand the trapdoor breaks and the sand falls but the bast statue stays there for 5ish seconds and it’s not working
Due to version differences, Host and Play on PC and Host and Play on console function a little differently, leading to differences in the initial setup.
To perform the setup on Console, you'll need to either a.) Join a server, and set it up there or b.) Have a friend join when you’re hosting, and have them set it up for you.
This is due to version differences with how hosting works. On PC, hosting actually makes you a client to a server hosted in the background. On console, you are the host, meaning de-syncing doesn’t work. Hence why you need to connect to the server or have someone else connect- being the Host when using Host and Play won’t work, unfortunately.
Once the setup is complete, the glitch should function identical to PC.
bro your corruption is gonna be spreading faster then that one flash meme
Nope.
1.4.4 removed corruption spread through altars
man idk why the statue don't break when i place the sand im on phone and i check and i was on multiplayer ;-; i have been trying for about more than an hour 😢
Well, no. The amount of ore generated is modified by the equation Amount*(1/X) where X is the number of times ore of that type has previously been generated(always starts at 1) after you've broken one. So (1/1) then (1/2) then (1/3), etc. Make a graphing calculator plot (1/X) and what you'll see is that as X approaches infinity, (1/X) approaches 0. Since this is a videogame and not theoretical math, there is some number of demon altars that will eventually stop producing ores entirely, a hard cap. I would assume that after the 300th altar (1/100) very few ores were being generated, likely less than 10 total blocks every time, and after the 3000th (1/1000) altar nothing was probably being generated at all.
0:14 thats only a couple of wraiths. Completely normal
I just love seeing how broken this game can be
I didn't even know that wraiths made noise if you didn't hurt them
