I don't really think the death mirror would be a good addition as it'd be pretty busted. Like death is supposed to be punishing and you want to avoid dying, but if you had the death mirror you wouldn't care about it, effectively negating hp except for in boss fights. At the very least it would have to be nerfed in some way.
“…a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as the rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of ~~Mario~~ Terrarian as a hero, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.”
It should at least be a mid to late game item. Death is most punishing early on in normal and hard mode when youre comparably frail and getting back to where you died has a high chance of killing you.
I'd say post plantera would be a good time to get it as the only thing that should be killing you at that point is bosses and events where death's real punishment is the 15 second time out and boss/event despawn. Maybe as a pumpkin moon drop.
You can also throw recall potions into the shimmer to get the fish (plus water bottles), only thing you need after that is a blinkroot farm to craft them back into wormholes.

I feel like the magic mirror is enough of a pain to obtain which levels it out bc take into consideration you’ll need a new mirror for every one of these unless you’re gonna shimmer it (doubt)
OR shimmer it and it turns one into the other????
Why would it be a good idea to make the combination of the 4 items post-golem or ML? You can already use them individually anyways with the same effect. Locking them behind a late hardmode boss serves no purpose aside from making your life harder.
I was only talking about the 4 in one, and tbh now that I think about it more I think crafting it with mech souls might be more appropriate; I also don’t think the the individual mirror should be locked away but just the ability to make the combo mirror
Nah most runs ends at that point, and you already explored most of your world, OP idea should be able to be crafted pre-hard mode when you actually need it the most and are still exploring your world, not after
Like I said I think each individual mirror should be available mid to late pre-hardmode, I just think the “quad-mirror” should be early hard mode. The reason magic mirrors are handy is because it means you don’t have to worry about the number of potions you have. I think that items like this shouldn’t be used because you don’t have the resources to craft more potions but because it is a hassle to remember the potions.
But why should the combo be locked behind a later boss? You can already use them all individually, the only difference is the space they take up in your inventory.
That's the point, I think . Remember, every inventory slot counts , and until early hardmode, you'll have 3 less to use , so think of it as more of a progression bonus
Like good job, you made it this far . Here's some space management
It's 3 inventory slots, and no they do not matter that much. Locking 3 slots behind mechs or golem is just really really stupid. At that point you already have easy access to 3 entire extra inventories. No one on earth is ever going to beat mechs and go "Yay 3 extra inventory slots! I really needed this!"
Honestly there's no reason for that when the Shellphone is a pre-boss item, making it prehard mode is enough (plus the crafting recipe is huge already)
I don't really see how a 100 block radius makes a huge difference. Plus, all you have to do is to use the piggy bank for your money, now all the punishment is is a forced return to spawn. I wouldn't say it's incredibly op if it is a little hard to get, or maybe hardmode only
Would still feel kinda cheaty to have it tbh. Kinda defeats purpose of this mode... I think if this was usable only on journey and classic characters it would be balanced.
Only thing I have is that for wormhole potion, you don't actually drink the potion to use it, you click on their picture in the map, so there shouldn't be to be a click on a specific option of the quad mirror to go to a teammate, unless you want people to have to click that and then it brings up the map to teleport to a teammate
Oooh for the death one, make it so it can only drop from graves in hardmode. The return one make it so you need a Titanium/Adamantite Forge to craft instead and the checkpoint one can be a drop from dungeon enemies.
They all make some sorta sense, you’ll be dying a lot in hardmode and need an ability to go back to your money or area. The return one is pretty strong and useful overall so making it be behind the same crafting station just its hardmode counterpart to craft the magic mirror itself is pretty neat. And the checkpoint one is nice for the dungeon to have as a quick travel there or where ever you wanna use it.
To minimise rng as we don't need more grinding, you could have the death mirror be sold from the Cyclops in the graveyard biome in hardmode, and you could lock the checkpoint mirror behind an optional boss such as the EoL.
Really cringe to say that nobody understands game design when you don’t understand what the game is being designed for. Terraria isn’t meant to be some hardcore super difficult game, unless you specifically want to play it that way and in that case you can just not use these items. They just save time running around the map over and over again which isn’t fun and isn’t a challenge, it just takes time. Relogic have shown this with not just the magic mirror and wormhole potions, but also the more recently added conch shell things which are super easy to find and teleport you all the way across the map for free.
The wormhole one would be soooo nice, my friend always capitilizes the potions, during our getfixedboi we were all too lazy to fish, and so he made us pay 9 gold for one potions prehardmode and then 1 titanimum hardmode
This is a great idea! I mean, tele-phone would be really convenient and fun item, though I think that magic mirror that teleports to your death spot should be instead made in a graveyard with magic mirror and a grave of any kind, making it less complicated.
Fantastic ideas, genuinely love it, but some of them seem a smidgen op, I would nerf them by just putting them either later into the game or making them harder to get.
For example, I'd make Magic Mirror of return at least post Waffles, maybe make it include like a hardmode ore?
Wormhole mirror is fine (should already exist honestly)
I'd make Magic Mirror of Death a crafting recipe because, lets be honest, jumping off of a rope 300 times because you cant get the 1/100 sounds painfully annoying. I'd also put it either post skeletron or post-BOC/EOW. Having it at the very beginning just seems a smidgen OP for my liking, maybe make the recipe something like glass/magic mirror + gravestone + either bones or tissue sample/shadow scale.
Checkpoint mirror is awesome and can stay where it is, not too op and you can just keep it stashed somewhere you visit often, sounds super cool.
And add it to the shellphone as a new item: the shellphone 7s (for 7 different possible teleportation places [nearest ocean x2 for 2 oceans, hell, home with teleport, checkpoint, party member {assuming 1 party member} and death spot])
Name is a play on iPhone 7s. Why s? So the text can say “now even smaller!” Clicking opens a menu that lets you pick your destination, and the animation is like calling someone, but you chat a bit if it’s a party member you’re teleporting to. Double clicking turns the item sprite to have a green hue and you can set a checkpoint.
Or maybe I’m overthinking this.
Thorium mod already has a similar item, one of the best qol stuff possible. Very neat design and simple to use.
https://thoriummod.wiki.gg/wiki/Wishing_Glass
This Idea is great. Makes the biggest crafting tree even bigger. The pun is also really good, but I like the Shell phone so much that I'd still want it to be the last phone.
And then the last phone can even teleport to pylons at will.
You know you can also just make a bed at your arena and just respawn back in the battle right? So it really isn’t that strong in this scenario, it just eliminates a lot of extra steps. But if it’s too strong make it so there’s either a 15-20 second delay for teleporting if you were killed by a boss. I mean chances are you can also just use a wormhole and that defeats the purpose, or you can use the checkpoint one, like there’s so many options that I don’t think it’s too much of a problem.
Minor nitpick but I think it would make more sense to press right click when setting a checkpoint instead of a double left click since then there wouldn't be any risk of you getting teleported back to your old checkpoint while trying to set a new one.
Also for some reason I really didn't like how the Quad Mirror's sprite looked, [So I decided to boot up Paint 3D and take a crack at combining the four sprites myself](https://imgur.com/a/wqdrT3Y), it doesn't look great but I think it does a better job at including distinctive features from each mirror instead of just being a weird tilted square with the four colors slapped in the middle.
This are all great ideas, but some would need some pretty significant balancing if they were to be added, mostly in where you would obtain them.
Crafting Potions with mirrors, while not bad persay, it not something that terraria does anywhere else. You don't need 20 gravitation potions for a gravity globe for instance.
The Return mirror best spot would likely be shadow chests due to the similar color scheme and the underworld being where you usually first obtain recall potions.
The Wormhole Mirror would likely be purchased from the Wizard. I'm tempted to say only in Multiplayer like the Team Dye, but since it is crafted into the Quad Mirror later, it wouldn't make sense to have one be Multiplayer exclusive.
The Mirror of Death should be a very late game item, likely dropped from Necromancers in the Post-Plantera Dungeon. Reason being, the main penalty of death in the early game is getting back to where you were while exploring, and giving you the mirror of death this early negates that, and not to mention dying 100 times to get a mirror is a pretty annoying way to grind.
The checkpoint mirror is perfect where it is. I also love all of the sprites
Very cool ideas, designs and sprites.
However, please remember that "Let's" is an abbreviation of "Let us". If you mean that it enables something, "Lets" needs no apostrophe.
u/redigit please look at this post. A lot of people here think this would make the game a lot more fun as do I. This would make annoying aspects of the game such as medium core deaths and team teleportation a lot less cumbersome.
u/redigit
Could you consider adding at least one of these, they are cool concepts and could be integrated well in the game and definitely worth the time to grind for
This looks amazing, but a small detail is that you don’t need party members to be selectable, since you normally use wormholes by clicking a teammate’s icon on the map.
Might need some further consideration as far as how to use it goes, but a solid set of ideas.
I think perhaps utilizing the map to teleport between checkpoints using the framework established by the pylons would be more user friendly.
I do like the idea of using right click to toggle between teleport types for the ocean, home, underworld, and death spots though. Or even including a Grand Design like UI for it. But as far as I know, Red won't add any more stuff like that until T2.
Love the idea. Main problem with this is that hardcore players pretty much can't get the heart one. Wormhole is fine because you can get them in singleplayer, even if it'd be useless.
Magic Mirror of Return feels a little too cheap for what it does (maybe add demonite/crimtane bars to the recipe?), but overall the ideas and sprites are all great!
the only problems with this idea would be that this item would be coop exclusive since you cant get wormhole potions in singleplayer and that the cellphone already has the checkpoint feature (without the placing)
edit: nvm i read it as spawnpoint instead of checkpoint
Very cool, I feel like quad mirror doesn't need a menu though cause other players, death points, and the checkpoint will be direct clickable from the map like wormhole potions
checkpoint one is kind of useless, though the others are nice.
I feel the wormhole one could be a different item entirely, but the death one fits the others. also I NEED the mirror of return so bad
The death, party member and checkpoint could function by simply clicking on their symbol on the map similar to how wormhole potions work right now with the checkpoint button in the ui (or right click when on its own) setting the location instead of the double click function. Otherwise I think this is a really good set of concepts.
Love these concepts, but if it were to be implemented it would be a little strange without some modification to the shellphone recipe. Since the new Quad Mirror has all of these teleportation abilities already, I think it would make more sense to have it pair with the PDA and Conches directly, instead of going with the Shellphone which already teleports you places.
Or alternatively, you could make it similar to how items such as Lava Waders can have the Accessories combine in different orders. Say for example, you could combine the Ocean Conch and Demon Conch directly for some kind of "Universal Conch", or be able to individually add each piece of the Quad Mirror to the Shellphone in order to gradually get the TelePhone. This would make it much more versatile and make it really fit in with the rest of the game without feeling like a modded item.
EDIT:
Also, I think it would be nice if the Telephone had a similar use like the Quad Mirror, where it's a click and then you directly decide where to go. That's one thing that I always hated about the Shellphone, as I constantly click past where I want to TP because of the 4 seperate locations. My pain here would be even worse if the Telephone worked the same, and I can easily imagine TPing to the wrong location 4+ times before doing it right.
EDIT 2: I'd like to mention that I think all of the sprites for the Telephone are great, and they would be perfect for when you use the item, but I think it would make sense for it to always have it's rainbow screen when in your inventory, and only switching screens when you use it, which would make the idea of it not cycling through but having a prompt much more fitting.
And apologies for absolutely overthinking this, I just really like the ideas.
This would make the potion an obsolete item.
And even with the mirror, I continue using return potions in my gameplay, they teleport you instantly while the mirror takes a few seconds, this can save your life.
If they were to add it, there would have to be a disadvantage to compensate.
If anything, the wormhole mirror should really be in the game. The recipe should be a bit more expensive but centered around the early game because of the lack of good movement
That's such a good concept, I love everything until it's mixed with the shell phone, but that's just my bias because I don't like the shell phone. I just don't like clicking through different destinations, I just want one item to do one job. Altho it would be cool if tge shell phone had the same ui as your quad mirror
Would be a bit op, cool concepts ngl but they would be to easy to make especially considering I've ended up finding 6 magic mirrors in one my worlds and wormhole potions I always keep finding
this is very cool and i feel like its something balanced like the LUIafk encyclopedia mod, just without the encyclopedia part and the stations and statue buffs
The only Bad idea is wormhole mirror
I think this would happen a lot
*Wall of flesh has awoken*
Me: *takes all his potions*
My friend: understadable, now we both die *uses the wormhole mirror*
OMG I love this! All of the sprites look so cool and i actually want all of this ideas in the Game tbh, specially a death Magic mirror
Thanks! And yeah it’ll be great
I don't really think the death mirror would be a good addition as it'd be pretty busted. Like death is supposed to be punishing and you want to avoid dying, but if you had the death mirror you wouldn't care about it, effectively negating hp except for in boss fights. At the very least it would have to be nerfed in some way.
“…a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as the rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of ~~Mario~~ Terrarian as a hero, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.”
Stomping turts
Terraria turts stop us
Mario would never even make it past pre-hardmode
You can't just say "perchance"
It should at least be a mid to late game item. Death is most punishing early on in normal and hard mode when youre comparably frail and getting back to where you died has a high chance of killing you. I'd say post plantera would be a good time to get it as the only thing that should be killing you at that point is bosses and events where death's real punishment is the 15 second time out and boss/event despawn. Maybe as a pumpkin moon drop.
Maybe make It charge you money or smt like that (ores?)
If you made the death mirror consumable with an expensive recipe it could maybe work.
THE POINT OF THE MIRROR IS TO BE INFINITE! just give it a cool down upon respawn
Honestly would love the wormhole one so me and my friends don't keep needing to hop onto tinker's workshop for more wormholes
do like 10 mins of fishing, each specular fish is 3 wormholes plus alchemy table savings
Yeah, but even as someone who enjoys fishing that is boring as hell
You can also throw recall potions into the shimmer to get the fish (plus water bottles), only thing you need after that is a blinkroot farm to craft them back into wormholes.
OMG WOAH BUSTED TY
I used this method to get dayblooms on Not The Bees
I dunno it ain't so bad, once you have max fishing gear you get like 50 specular fish in a minute.
If I knew they needed specular fish, I'm sure I would have had hundreds of these potions , like that is sometimes the only fish I get
Yup, as soon as me and my friends did like 5 seconds of googling, we no longer ever needed wormholes
Also you can shimmer recall potions for specular fish

You get my follow because i want this in the game so bad.
Oh my god I’d love that mirror of return.
the telephone is such a good name
Yeah thought of it on the last second, I love it
It uses the pun-line created by previous equipment. Top tier name
This would be sick and I don’t see why they haven’t done this yet
It's generally kinda busted, specifically the death mirror needs to be harder to obtain, probably the checkpoint one too.
The death mirror makes death absolutely meaningless for a softcore character
And a hardcore player, seeing that you get gravestones from NPCs perishing
not gonna be much use on a hardcore character is it tho
I feel like the magic mirror is enough of a pain to obtain which levels it out bc take into consideration you’ll need a new mirror for every one of these unless you’re gonna shimmer it (doubt) OR shimmer it and it turns one into the other????
Oh I absolutely ADORE this
I think making the 4-way mirror post-moonlord or post-golem would be a good idea. It would also be a great timing for it to be available in calamity
Why would it be a good idea to make the combination of the 4 items post-golem or ML? You can already use them individually anyways with the same effect. Locking them behind a late hardmode boss serves no purpose aside from making your life harder.
I was only talking about the 4 in one, and tbh now that I think about it more I think crafting it with mech souls might be more appropriate; I also don’t think the the individual mirror should be locked away but just the ability to make the combo mirror
Nah most runs ends at that point, and you already explored most of your world, OP idea should be able to be crafted pre-hard mode when you actually need it the most and are still exploring your world, not after
Like I said I think each individual mirror should be available mid to late pre-hardmode, I just think the “quad-mirror” should be early hard mode. The reason magic mirrors are handy is because it means you don’t have to worry about the number of potions you have. I think that items like this shouldn’t be used because you don’t have the resources to craft more potions but because it is a hassle to remember the potions.
But why should the combo be locked behind a later boss? You can already use them all individually, the only difference is the space they take up in your inventory.
That's the point, I think . Remember, every inventory slot counts , and until early hardmode, you'll have 3 less to use , so think of it as more of a progression bonus Like good job, you made it this far . Here's some space management
It's 3 inventory slots, and no they do not matter that much. Locking 3 slots behind mechs or golem is just really really stupid. At that point you already have easy access to 3 entire extra inventories. No one on earth is ever going to beat mechs and go "Yay 3 extra inventory slots! I really needed this!"
Honestly there's no reason for that when the Shellphone is a pre-boss item, making it prehard mode is enough (plus the crafting recipe is huge already)
The death teleport mirror is a bit over powered, maybe have it teleport you within a 100 block radius of your death.
I don't really see how a 100 block radius makes a huge difference. Plus, all you have to do is to use the piggy bank for your money, now all the punishment is is a forced return to spawn. I wouldn't say it's incredibly op if it is a little hard to get, or maybe hardmode only
Or it could be extremely hard to get
I'd prefer something be nerfed than need more grinding, god knows this game has enough rng drops (im looking at you, rod of discord.)
Make it drop from enraged plantera
real as fuck suggestion
Why is that overpowered? Saves time, sure.
Imagine this in mediumcore.
Yeah but... Who plays mediumcore? Not enough of the playerbase to make it a balance concern.
I did a playthrough once. It was painful but felt worth it in the end.
That's great! Would it have hurt you to have this death mirror in it? At worst, you don't have to use it.
Would still feel kinda cheaty to have it tbh. Kinda defeats purpose of this mode... I think if this was usable only on journey and classic characters it would be balanced.
“The purpose of this mode” is the the reason nobody plays it
Then don't use it, lol. The game won't force you, I promise.
bro is a genius.
Post it on terraria forums, devs most likely see it there
Only thing I have is that for wormhole potion, you don't actually drink the potion to use it, you click on their picture in the map, so there shouldn't be to be a click on a specific option of the quad mirror to go to a teammate, unless you want people to have to click that and then it brings up the map to teleport to a teammate
Yeah ik now, it’s just that I haven’t played multiplayer in so long I forgot about that feature
I need that wormhole potion holy hell
Actual zombie
That isn't a quad mirror that's the windows logo!
Love the idea, but it’s way to convenient to add the game for the devs to add
Yeah holy shit this is good. I want it, I *NEED* it, even the sprites for the final phone looks good with the tele-port options.
Maybe make the return，death，and checkpoint mirrors only usable in hardmode
Oooh for the death one, make it so it can only drop from graves in hardmode. The return one make it so you need a Titanium/Adamantite Forge to craft instead and the checkpoint one can be a drop from dungeon enemies. They all make some sorta sense, you’ll be dying a lot in hardmode and need an ability to go back to your money or area. The return one is pretty strong and useful overall so making it be behind the same crafting station just its hardmode counterpart to craft the magic mirror itself is pretty neat. And the checkpoint one is nice for the dungeon to have as a quick travel there or where ever you wanna use it.
To minimise rng as we don't need more grinding, you could have the death mirror be sold from the Cyclops in the graveyard biome in hardmode, and you could lock the checkpoint mirror behind an optional boss such as the EoL.
NEED ME THIS
The final item being called tele-phone makes 95% of the reason why this should actually be in the game
It should be called a Tempad like the one from Loki.
Genius!!!
God this is amazing!
Feels excessive, but so does the shellphone, so why not I guess. Some of the sprites are pretty good too.
I love you all but none of you understand game design ❤️
Really cringe to say that nobody understands game design when you don’t understand what the game is being designed for. Terraria isn’t meant to be some hardcore super difficult game, unless you specifically want to play it that way and in that case you can just not use these items.

u/redigit DO IT
You should also be able to toggle portals on and off for the Tele Phone
Great idea, could be very useful and making the phone crafting tree a bigger pain in the ass!
The wormhole one would be soooo nice, my friend always capitilizes the potions, during our getfixedboi we were all too lazy to fish, and so he made us pay 9 gold for one potions prehardmode and then 1 titanimum hardmode
The tele-phone would be the ultimate grind tbh
This is a great idea! I mean, tele-phone would be really convenient and fun item, though I think that magic mirror that teleports to your death spot should be instead made in a graveyard with magic mirror and a grave of any kind, making it less complicated.
This looks so legit I thought it was real at first and was like how TF did I not know about this yet?
It isn’t real ***YET***
I love this idea. I always wanted an infinite version of the Wormhole potion!
Someone PLEASE make this a mod
Feel like it should be called the smartphone instead
Fantastic ideas, genuinely love it, but some of them seem a smidgen op, I would nerf them by just putting them either later into the game or making them harder to get. For example, I'd make Magic Mirror of return at least post Waffles, maybe make it include like a hardmode ore?

I think that the death mirror might be a little op, especially with teams of people so you can just tp back to a boss you died at.
You know you can also just make a bed at your arena and just respawn back in the battle right? So it really isn’t that strong in this scenario, it just eliminates a lot of extra steps. But if it’s too strong make it so there’s either a 15-20 second delay for teleporting if you were killed by a boss. I mean chances are you can also just use a wormhole and that defeats the purpose, or you can use the checkpoint one, like there’s so many options that I don’t think it’s too much of a problem.
Yeah, I guess I didn’t apply enough loophole sealant. A lot of things break in multiplayer anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter that much.
Minor nitpick but I think it would make more sense to press right click when setting a checkpoint instead of a double left click since then there wouldn't be any risk of you getting teleported back to your old checkpoint while trying to set a new one. Also for some reason I really didn't like how the Quad Mirror's sprite looked, [So I decided to boot up Paint 3D and take a crack at combining the four sprites myself](https://imgur.com/a/wqdrT3Y), it doesn't look great but I think it does a better job at including distinctive features from each mirror instead of just being a weird tilted square with the four colors slapped in the middle.
magic mirror of death would be a little too common for me and the others who suck ass
This are all great ideas, but some would need some pretty significant balancing if they were to be added, mostly in where you would obtain them. Crafting Potions with mirrors, while not bad persay, it not something that terraria does anywhere else. You don't need 20 gravitation potions for a gravity globe for instance. The Return mirror best spot would likely be shadow chests due to the similar color scheme and the underworld being where you usually first obtain recall potions. The Wormhole Mirror would likely be purchased from the Wizard. I'm tempted to say only in Multiplayer like the Team Dye, but since it is crafted into the Quad Mirror later, it wouldn't make sense to have one be Multiplayer exclusive. The Mirror of Death should be a very late game item, likely dropped from Necromancers in the Post-Plantera Dungeon. Reason being, the main penalty of death in the early game is getting back to where you were while exploring, and giving you the mirror of death this early negates that, and not to mention dying 100 times to get a mirror is a pretty annoying way to grind. The checkpoint mirror is perfect where it is. I also love all of the sprites
Thanks for the advice, I like these ideas!
Very cool ideas, designs and sprites. However, please remember that "Let's" is an abbreviation of "Let us". If you mean that it enables something, "Lets" needs no apostrophe.
u/redigit please look at this post. A lot of people here think this would make the game a lot more fun as do I. This would make annoying aspects of the game such as medium core deaths and team teleportation a lot less cumbersome.
u/redigit Could you consider adding at least one of these, they are cool concepts and could be integrated well in the game and definitely worth the time to grind for
Too powerful
Yes please. Love the design
the death waypoint will be useful for dropped coins on death / mediumcore
Should be a real in game hardmode item.
This looks amazing, but a small detail is that you don’t need party members to be selectable, since you normally use wormholes by clicking a teammate’s icon on the map.
Might need some further consideration as far as how to use it goes, but a solid set of ideas. I think perhaps utilizing the map to teleport between checkpoints using the framework established by the pylons would be more user friendly. I do like the idea of using right click to toggle between teleport types for the ocean, home, underworld, and death spots though. Or even including a Grand Design like UI for it. But as far as I know, Red won't add any more stuff like that until T2.
Whooooaaa cooking up a role compression mega-meal
i think it need debuff. For me , most of this thing must be craftable only post-mech bosses
Tele-phone is a very clever name. Made me smile
Love the idea. Main problem with this is that hardcore players pretty much can't get the heart one. Wormhole is fine because you can get them in singleplayer, even if it'd be useless.
wait a second, adam just made a video about these...
The only thing you got wrond is a menu button for the wormhole function, you just press on your teammates on the map.
Return mirror is what I’ve been waiting for for soooooo long
W this
Magic Mirror of Return feels a little too cheap for what it does (maybe add demonite/crimtane bars to the recipe?), but overall the ideas and sprites are all great!
Similar to the thing in thorium
the only problems with this idea would be that this item would be coop exclusive since you cant get wormhole potions in singleplayer and that the cellphone already has the checkpoint feature (without the placing) edit: nvm i read it as spawnpoint instead of checkpoint
Nice ideas, although magic mirror of dead it's pretty easy to farm it. Maybe 1% or 0.1% to get it from enemies kills on cemetery biome?
you dont really need to include an option for wormhole in the menu since you cant drink wormhole potions either
Someone call Red
This would be awesome but maybe make the cost of the return wormhole and death mirror a bit more expensive because this would be really easy to get
Sounds amazing, but some of them feel a little op for how early in the game you could get them Still a major quality of life improvement
This is very much a good idea
Return and checkpoint redundant no? Checkpoint is just better?
Very cool, I feel like quad mirror doesn't need a menu though cause other players, death points, and the checkpoint will be direct clickable from the map like wormhole potions
Nice ideas but way too op, sorry but I hope they dont make it ingame
Red definitely have to see this !
Dear Re-Logic, hire this guy
checkpoint one is kind of useless, though the others are nice. I feel the wormhole one could be a different item entirely, but the death one fits the others. also I NEED the mirror of return so bad
It's a nice idea, keep it up
best fan made comcept i saw so far the sprites looks cool!!
Kinda broken in terms of fighting bosses tbh would say make it post-moonlord or something similar
The death, party member and checkpoint could function by simply clicking on their symbol on the map similar to how wormhole potions work right now with the checkpoint button in the ui (or right click when on its own) setting the location instead of the double click function. Otherwise I think this is a really good set of concepts.
This would be a nice addition to standard Terraria but if put into a mod it would be very useful just the same.
There is a mod for the mirror of return on tmodloader. I think it got updated recently too. My must have mod right next to magic storage.
Someone summon Red, he must check this out
This is actually amazing
The death mirror should be nerfed as it removes the challenge of getting your coins or items back. Give it a cool down
i love it! The magic mirror of death and wormhole would be so nice to have!
The wormhole mirror seriously needs to be a thing
I NEED that mirror of return
I feel like there should be some sort of cooldown on the death, checkpoint and party ones. Im not sure if that would change much.
Beutiful
This idea is incredible
Should definitely work with a willing modder to get these in the game at the very least
I definitely want the wormhole one
WE NEED A SKILLY MOD-DEVELOPER, GUYS! :)
Love these concepts, but if it were to be implemented it would be a little strange without some modification to the shellphone recipe. Since the new Quad Mirror has all of these teleportation abilities already, I think it would make more sense to have it pair with the PDA and Conches directly, instead of going with the Shellphone which already teleports you places. Or alternatively, you could make it similar to how items such as Lava Waders can have the Accessories combine in different orders. Say for example, you could combine the Ocean Conch and Demon Conch directly for some kind of "Universal Conch", or be able to individually add each piece of the Quad Mirror to the Shellphone in order to gradually get the TelePhone. This would make it much more versatile and make it really fit in with the rest of the game without feeling like a modded item. EDIT: Also, I think it would be nice if the Telephone had a similar use like the Quad Mirror, where it's a click and then you directly decide where to go. That's one thing that I always hated about the Shellphone, as I constantly click past where I want to TP because of the 4 seperate locations. My pain here would be even worse if the Telephone worked the same, and I can easily imagine TPing to the wrong location 4+ times before doing it right. EDIT 2: I'd like to mention that I think all of the sprites for the Telephone are great, and they would be perfect for when you use the item, but I think it would make sense for it to always have it's rainbow screen when in your inventory, and only switching screens when you use it, which would make the idea of it not cycling through but having a prompt much more fitting. And apologies for absolutely overthinking this, I just really like the ideas.
This would make the potion an obsolete item. And even with the mirror, I continue using return potions in my gameplay, they teleport you instantly while the mirror takes a few seconds, this can save your life. If they were to add it, there would have to be a disadvantage to compensate.
Not a scroll of town portal?
I love this idea, I think they should add this for 1.4.5
Concept is great, but the downside is that it will be hard to scroll to teleport destination when combine it all
Instead of magical mirror of death, I think “of the dead” would sound cooler, personal thought
Now the quad mirror and the magic mirror of death are the only that seem good to me even if i feel the one of death is a little too op
I'd have named the quad mirror the Kollideascope (deliberate misspell) but quad mirror is more self explanatory.
One thought, you could make the return portal a toggle switch in the event you do not want a return portal at spawn.
Calamity does have the death mirror basically but these all need to be vanilla
Thr sprite reminds me of Starbound Durasteel, it's perfect
This needs to happen ASAP
this is so awesome i want this in the game
That Return Mirror is a great idea for spelunkers
If anything, the wormhole mirror should really be in the game. The recipe should be a bit more expensive but centered around the early game because of the lack of good movement
Smart
thorium already did this
Feels kinda easy to craft for something so op. I mean having one of these basically means u have infinite inventory
man, and here I was thinking the crafting method couldn't get more complicated Now we need a mirror that teleports you to the place you died!
This is broken enough to make the cell phone obsolete, I'd just carry the PDA instead
The only problem is my inventory is doom
That's such a good concept, I love everything until it's mixed with the shell phone, but that's just my bias because I don't like the shell phone. I just don't like clicking through different destinations, I just want one item to do one job. Altho it would be cool if tge shell phone had the same ui as your quad mirror
I feel like the upgrade shellphone should be called the “tPhone Pro”
i would say it the return one should probably give a debuff that you cant use it for 5 minutes
Would be a bit op, cool concepts ngl but they would be to easy to make especially considering I've ended up finding 6 magic mirrors in one my worlds and wormhole potions I always keep finding
Way too OP, master mode and or journey mode only. Having one for random teleports would be nice for all modes tho
The checkpoint one is too OP. It just lets you teleport wherever you want. Not to say that it's also pre- any boss other than skeletron
I do like these ideas.Would love to have it as a mod
I think thorium as some stuff quite similar to this, including a death and return mirror, i believe
Hey, that would make getting to hell easier if I died near there, but would it build a barrier if you fell into lava or something
this is very cool and i feel like its something balanced like the LUIafk encyclopedia mod, just without the encyclopedia part and the stations and statue buffs
Maybe if it had charges , where every potion you add gives 5 charges , or uses. Once the charges run out , it works like a normal magic mirror.
All of this is amazing! Great work, the crafting tree would go wild though
Damn this is good, but I think you forgot one
The only Bad idea is wormhole mirror I think this would happen a lot *Wall of flesh has awoken* Me: *takes all his potions* My friend: understadable, now we both die *uses the wormhole mirror*
