Magic Conch

The Magic Conch is a Tool item that teleports the player to the Ocean that is furthest from the player. The exact tile that the player is transferred to is the one furthest from them horizontally, highest, and is not obstructed by liquid. When a world first generates, this will typically be on the sand, directly in front of the water. However, if there is a sky bridge over the ocean, then the player will inevitably wind up there.

Like the Magic Mirror, it can be used an indefinite number of times. This makes it ideal to reach the Angler quickly to start fishing quests if both oceans haven't been yet explored.

It can be found randomly in Sandstone Chests, Oasis Crates, and Mirage Crates.

Tips

 * The Magic Conch allows easy access to your Pylon network, if you have acquired an Ocean Pylon. This can be very useful if you have set your spawn in a place far away from your pylon network, for example when you have set your spawn at an arena made to fight bosses.
 * Since only one Pylon can be used for each ocean in a world, the Magic Conch can also be useful for accessing the other Ocean that doesn't have a Pylon.
 * The Magic Conch is especially useful during the Lunar Events, as two pillars will spawn closer to the edge of the world. Since the Pylon network is unaccessible during events, the Magic Conch is your best option for easily accessing each side of the world.
 * The Magic Conch makes setting up the Pylon network a lot easier. When setting up a town in the Ocean biome, the Magic Conch allows the player to go from their Spawn to the Ocean they're setting up in much quicker and return back to Spawn in order to get supplies, as opposed to having to travel a large portion of the world.
 * The Magic Conch makes traveling to the Dungeon much quicker as well. Since the Dungeon is always close to the Ocean, the player can access it much faster. This is especially useful when exploring the post-Plantera Dungeon, as it's likely you'll be dying a lot there.
 * The Magic Conch will send the user to the other Ocean biome if they are already in one. This allows easy access to either side of the world, as the player simply has to use the Magic Conch a second time.
 * The ocean the player will be teleported to is determined right before the actual teleportation takes place, instead of when activating it, allowing you to change the destination ocean in some circumstances.

Trivia

 * Despite having a similar animation, function, and sound, the Magic Conch has a slightly longer use time than the Ice and Magic Mirrors.
 * In real life, conch shells as popularly known for playing "the sound of the ocean" if held by the person's ear (which is essentially the cavity of the shell causing noises of the surrounding environment to resonate).
 * It has the slowest use time in the game, tied with the Demon Conch, Magic Mirror, and Snake Charmer's Flute.
 * Its tooltip, "If you listen closely, you can hear the ocean" is a reference to how holding a shell to one's ear often makes sounds like ocean waves. In reality, however, these sounds are just from the seashell amplifying ambient noise.
 * The color of the water particles that appear when using this item changes depending on what biome you are in.
 * The name of the Magic Conch is likely based on the Magic Conch Shell featured in the Club Spongebob episode of Spongebob Squarepants, which became a popular meme online.
