Are you trying to use a Wormhole Potion in Terraria? This potion allows you to teleport to another user in your game as long as you're on the same team. In this article we'll teach you how to use a Wormhole Potion as well as offer some troubleshooting if you're not able to use your potion, as well as the recipe to craft them.

Things You Should Know

To use a Wormhole Potion, open your full map and click on another player's icon with the potion in your inventory.
You must be on the same team as the player you want to teleport to.
The potion doesn't have to be equipped to be used; it simply just needs to be in your inventory.

How to Use a Wormhole Potion

Ensure you're on the same team as the player you want to teleport to. Wormhole Potions only work in multiplayer, and they will only work if you're on the same team as the other player you want to teleport to. To change what team you're on, open your inventory and select one of the colored shields underneath the PvP toggle button.

Open the full-screen map. The button to open your full-screen map changes depending on what platform you're playing on: PC (mouse and keyboard): M PC (controller): Options button (has a right-facing triangle on it) Playstation: Select button Xbox: Options button (has a left-facing triangle on it) Wii U: Minus button Nintendo Switch: Minus button, pinch inwards at maximum zoom, or tap the minimap

Select the player icon of the person you want to teleport to. You don't need to use or equip the potion in order to actually use it. As long as the Wormhole Potion is in your inventory, you will be able to teleport to another person on your team by clicking their player icon (head) on the full map.

Wormhole Potion Troubleshooting

Ensure you're not playing solo. While you can craft Wormhole Potions in a solo game, you cannot use them. If your Wormhole Potion isn't working, make sure you're not playing single player.

Make sure you're on the same team as the person you're trying to teleport to. You can only use a Wormhole Potion to teleport to someone else on your team. To change what team you're on, open your inventory and select one of the colored shields underneath the PvP toggle button.

Make sure your minimap isn't disabled. If you disabled the minimap from your game Settings screen, you won't be able to use a Wormhole Potion. To check, go to your Settings and make sure you see Map Enabled.
