Can someone please help?

[crazy man games]

I have defeated Wall of Flesh and have "blessed" my world with all the possible ores. The problem is that I can't mine the ores and I also can't find a pickaxe that can. The strongest pickaxe that I own is a pickaxe with 59% power. So guys, can someone tell me what I should do in order to make myself able to mine those ores?

Well you should’ve made a demonite/crimtane pickaxe when you defeated the brain/eater of worlds. From there, you would mine hellstone, then make a molten pickaxe.

You're definitely a bit behind in your pickaxe progression. If you haven't beaten the Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu yet to get shadow scales/tissue samples yet, do that, then you need to craft a nightmare/deathbringer pickaxe, then you mine hellstone to get a molten pickaxe. Alternatively, you should be able to fish up hardmode ores and bars in crates to start yourself off.

I can't beat the Eater of Worlds because I can't mine the corruption in order to reach and destroy those three purple things.

If I am correct, you can craft a Nightmare Pickaxe by using Demonite Bars, right? If so, I would like to let you know that the game doesn't allow me to craft any pickaxe using the Demonite Bars (yes, I am near Work Benches when trying to craft one). Also, since you mentioned fishing, I have got crates many times while fishing, but I don't know how to open them, it says that I can open them by pressing right click, but it doesn't work.

You need shadow scales in addition to demonite bars, which means fighting the EoW. In order to break the corrupt stone to smash the shadow orbs, you can use bombs or purification powder. I think hellstone can also be broken by explosives in hardmode, actually, so that could be an option too.
To open crates you right-click on them in your inventory.

I have tried to break Hellstone by using explosives and I had no success, but I haven't tried using explosives to break the blocks of the corruption, which is what I am gonna do when I enter the game again. Now for the crates, I have tried to open them by pressing right click on them in my inventory, but as I said before, nothing happened. I will try again later, so thanks for the time that you spent to help me.

Hellstone isn't breakable with explosives pre-hardmode but I think it becomes bombable once you're in hardmode. That might just be meteorite, though.
You don't pick up the crate or hold it or anything. Just put your mouse over it like you're going to move it to a different inventory slot, but rclick instead of lclick.

You can use bombs to destroy converted stone around orbs, which allow you to reach the orbs.

Also something a bit off topic: judging from your remarks, i'm assuming you are a little new at the game, so just a warning: during hardmode, evil biome willspread fairly quickly, up to reaching your surface base if nothing is done. You should consider containing evils biomes quickly, including underground. (The evil biomes goes the entire way from the surface to near the overworld.

I just used bombs and it worked. Thank you so much! I just defeated the Eater of Worlds and finally started advancing again! Thank you again for your help!
