How to Trigger a Solar Eclipse in Terraria
Triggering a Solar Eclipse in Terraria is all about patience and a bit of luck, as it's an event that can naturally occur after you've defeated at least one mechanical boss (The Twins, The Destroyer, or Skeletron Prime). It happens randomly at the start of a day but if you're not into waiting, you can craft a Solar Tablet by combining 8 Solar Tablet Fragments at a Mythril or Orichalcum Anvil to summon the eclipse whenever you want. Just remember, it's only possible in hardmode!

Just use a Solar Tablet if you're impatient like me. Beats waiting around for chance to take its course.
Honestly, had more solar eclipses happen when I wasn't trying. Key is to beat a mech boss and then go about your business. It'll happen when you least expect it.
