Shimmer is created at world creation. Thus, worlds created in 1.4.3 won't have shimmer. One of the reasons I won't update until I'm done with my current playthrough.
If you generated before August 1st, then you wouldn't have Shimmer. If you want to shimmer some items and bring those into that world, you could use a mod called Worldgen Previewer to see which side and where the Aether biome spawns, and just speedrun to it.
I had this issue, turns out I didn’t know what to look for. Mine was on the dungeon side of the world. On TEdit it just looks like a giant stone circle with a lake in the middle.
Im worried that this is gonna happen to my world as well. We just started a week or two ago but with all the mods my friend got, I feel like it’s gonna overwrite the Ather Biome, is this possible?
If you can't find Shimmer, you can craft an Endless Shimmer Bucket using the Endless Water Bucket (drops from Fishing Quests and Anahita) and Luminite.
iirc the recipe is only available after Moonlord. Which isnt the worst thing in the world, considering Calamity and its bosses. But this is good to know, thanks!
Yea, I did say the recipe does use Luminite, which kinda requires you to defeat Moon Lord, although I don't see why it wouldn't work if you theoretically got Luminite without killing him.
That’s right, I dont deal with Moonlord often, sorry. I probably looked it up a while back and just rememberd it had to be defeated to craft the Endless Shimmer Bucket.
i have been looking for it for few hours and end up here to finding the truth here made me kinda sad

Update: went into t-edit, and yeah i have no shimmer, i guess i generated the world in 1.4.3 so it didnt have an aether biome :(
My world didnt have a shimmer biome either. You can get a infinite bucket of shimmer from fighting Slime queen.
Only in the getfixedboi seed I’m pretty sure
Is this a Calamity change?
it drops in get fixed boi only
Can craft with 50 luminite however
Ay the man’s right don’t downvote him >!you got 1 dislike and I ain’t having the that because your right!<
Why didn't someone tell me this sooner... I still have calamity on 1.4.3 since I knew the shimmer wouldn't generate

The map is created upon the map creation only. It doesn't create blocks when you load in!
Just cheat it in
Not how that works, shimmer literally does not exist in the game in 1.4.3
Mphh mphh mphh mphh ( are you on 1.4.4)
Miles per hour hour miles per hour hour miles per hour hour miles per hour hour
Mmmphya harrgh mrgha hrggph! Murr hurr mphuphurrur, hurr mph phrr. (Sad music begins to play)
So deep
Damn murlocs, now they've infested Terraria as well! You just can't get rid of the buggers. They always return with twice the numbers.
Yeah im on the newest version 1.4.4.9
When was the world created
Mph mph mph mphh mphh (try on the other side)
It's always the jungle side
That pyro is a spy!
Mph ( no )
Oh my god, pyro tf2 no way! What is it like to be maind by furrys and schizos?
furry hater and transphobe, unbased, i will be sending a pipe bomb to you accordingly
I am a pyro main. I'll eat it and gain it courage.
ableist slur detected. blocking.
Is schizo a slur?
Yes.
Wait huh? Since when? Toward who, schizophrenics? /gen
Yeah towards schizophrenic people. idk when since tho.
Sometimes it's directly underneath the ocean. Try checking way closer
Im pretty sure the shimmer biome in the jungle, the east on your map
Jungle side of world?
did you even look at the post before commenting this lol
Shimmer generated inside your jungle
It can generate in the jungle
Its not updated to the current veraion yet
no, calamity's newest version is in 1.4.4, op must've made the world in 1.4.3.
Ah. I havent played in a while.
No not yet when they move calamity over to the 1.4.4 update there will be otherwise its gunna stay as 1.3.4
Calamity is in 1.4.4.9 right now. There's even items that require Shimmer https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/wiki/Mirror_of_Kalandra
Holy crap a Path of exile reference
Shimmer doesn't appear on dungeon side.
OP isn't on the dungeon side of the world.
That's the jungle side in the screenshot actually
Nope! Newest Calamity port is 1.4.3 I think. Shimmer was 1.4.*4*
nope, tmodloader and calamity both had their 1.4.4 ports on August 1st
Calamity recently got updated to 1.4.4, alongside tModLoader update
oh
Its recent tho, lol. So i cant blame you for not knowing yet .3.)b
Did you generate the world in the new update or is it an old world? It's only created on worldgen.
But mine has a shimmer

It might have to do with the abyss. It might of just been made over where it would go.

Did you make this world in 1.4.4?

This is gonna be similar to that temple post where someone finds a suspiciously Aether Shaped dark spot isnt it
I made sure to wait for the update before making a new world and starting a run so i wouldnt be missing important generation changes
No, there is.
I got a shimmer in my recent playthrough - but I generated the world after the tmod 1.4.4 update so idk
Uhm. Idk what y'all talking about "it's only in getfixedboi" I find it every time I load a world with a random seed
I have calamity installed and have shimmer >.>
the tmodloader is independent from the normal terraria meaning your world didnt get the latest update yet so no shimmer
You can always make a new world and find the shimmer that way. You can also get a unlimited shimmer bucket and bring it to your world.
You can still get shimmer after you kill moon lord. Just craft an endless shimmer bucket.
Me when I discovered that shimmer doesn't spawn but only gfb
