Why can’t I mine my ore in terraria?
If you are not able to mine any ore at all, your save file may be corrupt, and I suggest you create a new world, and try to do the same thing. If the same phenomenon reoccurs, you should try to re-install the game completely, as this is something that should not happen under normal circumstances. Never mind about me not being able to mine any ore.
