How to Get the Meteorite to Spawn in Terraria
So you wanna call down the cosmic rocks, huh? Alright, here’s the lowdown: First off, smash one of those shadow orbs or crimson hearts found in the corruption/crimson biomes. You gotta use a hammer or any explosive for this job. However, keep in mind, it’s got to be night time for the meteorite to actually spawn. It’s kinda like baking a cosmic cake; you prep in the day, bake at night. Remember, there’s a 50% chance it’ll spawn the next midnight after you smash the orb or heart, so don’t sweat if it doesn’t show up right away. Patience, young grasshopper.

Just break a shadow orb or crimson heart and wait till midnight. EZ.
Not sure why everyone makes a big deal out of this. Just smash an orb/heart and cross your fingers for midnight. But honestly, it’s not even that useful unless you’re gunning for the early gear.
