What is Hardmode in Terraria?

If you don’t know what Hardmode is or have never unlocked Hardmode before and need instructions, don’t worry. It is super easy. Hardcore is a more challenging version of the initial world. Your world is converted from the initial world to the Hardmode world after you beat the Wall of Flesh boss for the first time. Unlocking the hardmode world unlocks additional biomes, where you will find the Soul of Night crafting material.
