Spoiler: Common Q&A

Why do we need these?
We don't, but they are a relatively cheap way to travel to a biome, requiring that you've already been there, collected it's resources, and fished there.
I feel this is unbalanced.
Post your suggestion to balance it out in the comments.
What problems does this solve?
It adds new uses for almost every biome fish and adds a new way to get to a biome fast! (If you can afford it)
What if there is none of a biome left to teleport to?
The potion will fizzle up.
Can they be found anywhere?
Yes, biome potions can be found in chests in their respectful biomes.

And that concludes this suggestion for biome potions. Please leave constructive criticism instead of simply saying that the idea is bad.

Not a bad idea. Water Bottles or Teleportation Potions should be added to the ingredients though.

Water bottles are in there, I was just too lazy to include it in every recipe. I'll do that now I guess. :L

 

[Grand Paladin Tyrux]

This would be AMAZING for tracking down the last bits of Corruption/Crimson/Hallow! Full support purely for that! A Dungeon potion would be very nice as well, but I suppose the ocean potions work well for that.

 

[Pegboard]

totally,
Teleporting with the normal ones are ok, but accuracy is sometimes important, Maybe if that biome doesn't exist in the world it just fizzles and doesn't consume the potion?

The idea of teleporting to a specific biome is a good one, but provided recipes look hard to obtain. Also I'd like to mention that Exxo Avalon implemented an item similar to this, called the Shadow Mirror. It had Dungeon, Jungle, Underworld, Spawn, Left and Right oceans, and Random. This item was particularly useful for getting to the dungeon, so if no other potion was suggested here, then it should be dungeon. But as there's no dungeon exclusive fish, this is problematic.

Like you said, there only really there for you if you haven't set up a teleporter, you're too lazy to walk there, and you have the required fish. But why should "fishermen" only be allowed to this ability?

I also don't like dealing with running out of consumables. I think this should be in mirror form.

So to solve the problem of the dungeon, the fish, and the consumables, I came up with a recipe for the "Biome Mirror." It's basically materials from every biome suggested above.
Biome Mirror = 20 Bones, 5 Shark fins, 10 Vertebrae/Rotten Chunks, 30 Hellstone, 20 Pixie Dust, 100 Stone, 10 Jungle Spores, 40 Wood, 10 Antlion Mandibles, 40 Boreal Wood, 40 Glowing Mushrooms, 1 Magic Mirror.

Ocean biome(and underground) potion might be difficult to get because of the rarity of jellyfishes.
I've got the golden fishing rod (50 quests pre-1.3) and about to defeat the Moon Lord, but haven't caught a single jellyfish (let alone the pink version).

I could try something like that sometime.

 

[Sonnette]

I like the idea, but some critique

Underworld Biome Potion

This looks a lot like... Another potion, I wanna say wrath potion.

Crimson Biome Potion

This looks a lot like healing potion.

Both of these are just imo, but the rest of the suggestion is support

 

[00Banshee00]

This looks a lot like... Another potion, I wanna say wrath potion.

No, it looks like the inferno potion.

Have you added a new fish(hallow one), I don't remember fishing it.

 

[Sonnette]

No, it looks like the inferno potion.

Thank you! I couldn't put my tongue on it. So yeah, it looks like the inferno potion.

I thought that it looked pretty different from a healing potion.

No, it looks like the inferno potion.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHAOS POTION BECAUSE IT IS THE CHAOS POTION! I WAS LAZY!

Nope, thats a chaos fish. It's used in the teleportation potion.

 

[Azu]

At first I was like "How would this be useful"
But then:

Take all of my money.

 

[AlecHero]

I thougt the same as azu that how was this gonna be useful then i thougt my thougt and i came up to this: YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THE EQUVALENT POTION FOR THE BIOME YOU ARE IN IN ITS CHEST (under ground potion in underground chest) and yes it should nearly replace teleportaion and recall potion (I would want this)
But after steampunker this pretty much becomes non useful

 

[MiningdiamondsVIII]

Some of these are too expensive.

 

[SnailsAttack]

Some of these are too expensive.

For the fact that they teleport you instantaneously to any biome, these are actually not much more expensive than most potions are.

Sure I guess.

Thats because it is an inferno potion. I ended up getting lazy with the sprites.
Also the hallow fish there is a chaos fish. It is rare.

 

[AllenPlayzTerraria1987]

I think this is a good idea. I'm quite a fan of this because we could use those Corruption/Crimson/Hallow Biome Potions and easily get to any part of our world with said biome and cleanse our worlds from those biomes. Also it makes getting to certain biomes easier :3

 

[Braquen]

What if someone uses a potion for a biome that doesn't exist in the current world? I think the debuff chaos state should be given to them.

I have already answered this in the Q&A.

 

[Inactive38728932489243]

This is amazing
maybe have underground variants for the hallow? an underprepared player using a hallow potion and getting teleported deep into the underground hallow would basically just be a rage inducer.
so maybe a requirement needs to be set to teleport to underground? same with corruption/crimson
i dunno. thinking for the players who are just wanting pixie dust from the surface. for potions.
but other than that this is awesome
