Earth Charge
Not to be confused with the Fire Charge, Wind Charge, or Water Charge.
An Earth Charge is a throwable item made from bore rods. It deals a heavy amount of damage but little knockback.
Obtaining
Earth charges can be obtained from Ancient Ruins structures from one of two places:
- Crafting: When obtaining Bore Rods, it can be put in a crafting table to get 2 earth charges. It can also be crafted by putting a Dripstone Block in the middle of the crafting grid and putting four Pointed Dripstone above, left, right, and bottom of it. This gives 4 earth charges.
- Bore: Bores shoot out earth charges. Killing the Bore can give the attacker Bore Rods which can be crafted into earth charges.
Usage
An earth charge can be used by interacting with it in hand. After it is thrown, the earth charge is consumed.
It has a cooldown of five seconds (100 ticks) before it can be used again. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar where the item is. Items of the
same kind will also be affected by the cooldown.
Behavior
Upon throwing the projectile, the projectile will fly through the air until it hits the ground. It will deal up to 6 hearts (12 health) of damage. When contacting either an entity or the ground, dust particles will shoot out from the projectile's landing location as it makes a shattering sound.
