Seems like it does the same as any other critter.

I have a theory about the disappearing coins thing. Maybe it works like a magical wishing well? And it uses coins, which are usually thrown into a well when making a wish, to fuel its transmutations? so when you drop coins into this pool, it's absorbing them as though adding them to its "Wish-Energy". And perhaps that's how it became like that in the first place, maybe this place was once a place people came to make wishes, and the sheer volume of coins and wish-energy turned the water into this Shimmer fluid, saturated with magical transmutative energy. Also, The uncrafting mechanic is actually Broken, because now you can uncraft things with bad modifiers and re-craft them hoping for a better Modifier. Take THAT, Goblin Tinkerer!

Finally, I've been waiting for luminite to become useful!

A lot of work went into this update. And also this video. Thanks.

SO cool I can't wait to see how mod developers decide to utilize the Aether, and more specifically, shimmer

I spent this entire video going crazy. This *is* crazy. Re-Logic deserves to get the labor of love award again.

One thing I forgot if you mentioned it: if you throw a biome key in, you will get that biome chest out of it

12:17 Terraria sky block? Little dirt island and a tree you have a little bit of this liquid turn wood (renewable) into dirt to expand your island.

luminite turning into chlorophyte actually sounds useful especially for the DCU

It's pretty an alchemy flavor, that's cool. Maybe they can try more element transfer designs, I won't refuse some additional non-combat fun.

This one addition opens the flood gates for so many cool concepts for the game. If I were relogic I would have a hard time not developing new content for this game too, my mind is running wild seeing this

Dropping coins in shimmer does have a function, as it will increase you luck stats

The feeling of getting a giant update on mobile is immaculate! Brings back the times when I started screaming cuz 1.3 came to mobile lol

A way to undo crafting is something i've wanted for so long

Throwing a star cloak in the shimmer gives you a Chromatic cloak, which grant semi-imunity to the shimmer effect

wait, i didnt know this stuff was in new update, this is awesome!

How shimmer works with projectiles: For Most gravity projectiles, they are quite buoyant, floating back up and out with ~= speed. Most straight shooters (even the rain clouds) are bounced. Bombs and bouncy projectiles (like flower of fire) behave like this too. Enchanted projectiles (enchanted sword bean and jester arrows) ignore it and behave like normal. Well except the added resistance by the liquid.

Also if you throw stone in the shimmer it transform it into dirt too, that means any ore/crystal/wood can be transformed into dirt

Thank you for this guide, now I will finally understand what's this for.
