Dundor
Terrarian
Before I begin my suggestion I will preface this with the fact that the cyber, contagion, and covert are not my ideas. These ideas belong to Tobbvald and Zoomo. If you don’t know what these suggestions are, here are the links to them:
So I really like these suggestions and hope they are implemented into terraria at some point. But what if instead of seeing a single set of these biomes, a world has all of them? Would it be too much? Probably, but it would also change quite a bit of how you play the game. This is the basis of this concept: a world will have all 6 biomes: the hallow, corruption, crimson, cyber, contagion, and covert. Now one last note, I do apologize for there not being any sprites or drawings, as it is not something that I excel at.
World Generation
For the purpose of this type of world, it would be a separate option. It could also coincide with redigit’s “nightmare mode” with stronger enemies but more/better drops. Each world generated this way would probably be a set size, a bit smaller or larger than the large world size. Now the world would be split into 10 parts (ignoring the ocean) in which places can be generated. The center 2 will always be the “regular” biomes; a forest or tundra (snow biome). The next 3 out to either side can be a corruption, crimson, or contagion, but there can only be one of each. The last one on either side will be a dungeon or jungle. Of course as usual some smaller biomes can spawn all between but this covers the major ones. Upon defeat of the wall of flesh, the message “The ancient spirits have awoken!” will come up and each of the remaining zones will be spawned opposite of their counterparts. As far as the biomes spreading, none of the biomes can spread over each other; crimson can’t spread over contagion nor can hallow spread over cyber. However, denizens of opposing forces will now fight each other should they encounter one another.
Items
This is where the main part of the idea is. With every biome being in the world, it wouldn’t make sense for there to be souls/cores/runes or hallowed/cyber/covert bars. So in this world we have essences and primordial bars.
Biomes
As Tobbvald had worked around the dungeon’s color schemes relating to the biomes, it would have to change in this world. In this world, the Dungeon blocks will be white on the surface, and slowly become black the further down you are.
Bosses
Zoomo had suggested having a wall of shadows in place of the wall of flesh on corruption worlds. To compliment this, a contagion world would have a wall of plagues, and this world would have a wall of entropy. (I will not elaborate on these wall of flesh alternatives as they would be relatively the same except a couple different mechanics; its mainly an aesthetic purpose.)
Tobbvald’s Necronomitron will change in this world as well. He will now have more health and will rotate between each type of “hand” phase.
End
Well if my walls of text didn't bore you and you got this far thanks for reading! I know this idea probably doesn't have a huge amount of content, but I suppose that's the nature of it. Again, I apologize for not having any sprites, but I hope you enjoy the idea and provide some feedback.

I felt it would be kinda odd to have the light and dark biomes to all drop the same types of essence, so I made a bit of a complex system for this.
Mote of Decay
-Drops off of Contagion mobs
Mote of Disease
-Drops off of Crimson mobs
Mote of Darkness
-Drops off of Corruption mobs
Mote of Light
-Drops off of Hallow mobs
Mote of Order
-Drops off of Cyber mobs
Mote of Ruin
-Drops off of Covert mobs
Essence of Death
-Crafted from one Mote of Decay, Disease, and Darkness
-Alternate to Soul of Night
Essence of Life
-Crafted from one Mote of Light, Ruin, and Order
-Alternate to Soul of Light
Since these two items are crafted from several components, to better balance it any items that used souls of light or night will use half the amount on this world.
Essence of Limbo
-Alternate to Soul of Fright
Essence of Dreams
-Alternate to Soul of Sight
Essence of Awakening
-Alternate to Soul of Might
Essence of Freedom
-Alternate to Soul of Flight
Essence of Conflict
-Alternate to Soul of Slight
What is a soul of slight you say? Its more or less the alternate to souls of blight, as the PC version does not have those. These can drop off of Zoomo’s Motherboard or if we don’t want anymore mech bosses perhaps they can drop off of bosses for the hallow, cyber, and covert that I sadly do not have suggestions for.

Now in place of hallow ore/bars, this world will have primordial ore/bars. They work exactly the same as you would expect but are based upon elements, giving the gear elemental aesthetics. These bars are made similar to how Zoomo’s bars were made: with 6 Primordial Ore and 1 Durasteel bar, which drops off of mech bosses.

If you gain more than 3 globes, they will go to the nearest ally and increase their health regen and defense, otherwise they will explode and grant you 5 mana.
Fragarach
-Excalibur Alternate

Like its lesser version, you can attack behind you if used quickly, but will also deal a short-ranged attack all around you.

Other then that, it sounds cool in theory, but not sure if Terraria would be able to handle a world big enough.
