How to Trigger a Solar Eclipse in Terraria
To get a Solar Eclipse in Terraria, you gotta pray to the RNG gods, cuz it's all about luck. But seriously, after defeating one of the mechanical bosses (The Destroyer, Skeletron Prime, or The Twins), Solar Eclipses have a 5% chance of occurring each dawn. You can also force one by crafting and using a Solar Tablet, which you make from Solar Tablet Fragments found in the Lihzahrd Temple in the Jungle. So, if you're not feeling lucky or just impatient, get those fragments and make it happen!

I crafted a Solar Tablet and triggered the eclipse myself. Totally worth raiding the temple for the fragments. Made my game progress so much faster!
Just wait, it'll happen eventually. Solar Eclipses are rare but they're a natural part of the game. No need to rush it.
