The Luminite Drills are four tools, all of which have the same stats. The four types are the Vortex Drill, Nebula Drill, Solar Flare Drill, and the Stardust Drill, each themed after a different Celestial Pillar. On  Old Chinese and  tModLoader Legacy, their pickaxe counterparts must be crafted instead.

Unlike all other drills, Luminite Drills can be reforged with size and speed modifiers, but this is made irrelevant by the fact that they cannot benefit from them, thus, a drill with Deadly or Light mines just as fast as one with no modifier.

With current methods, it is impossible to hack these items into a character's inventory using external editors, as they will disappear from that character's inventory as soon as they load into a world.

Their best modifier is Demonic, as they do not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it, and furthermore cannot get modifiers that affect their speed, either.
