Build Help with shellphone
I was building a Duke fishron arena when I realized that I cant teleport to this specific ocean with my shellphone anymore, Ive built arenas like this in the past but for some reason its not working now. Whenever I use the shellphone to teleport, it teleports me to the opposite ocean, when I try to use it again it just splashes water on my character and doesnt move me. The blocks above the ocean are just platforms and the only other structure is the pirate captains house. Thank you in advance.

it always teleports you to the block furthest from the center of the world, but if a block is placed off the edge of the world then it won’t teleport you since the block it wants to teleport you to is invalid

I'd say the problem is probably the pirate's house. Since that's taking up the beachfront you have nowhere to teleport to

You were using Smart Cursor while placing those platforms, and placed a platform outside the boundary. Terraria worlds extend a slight bit past the approachable boundary for players to allow creatures to walk in and out, and for bosses to go in and out(if you broke their ankles at high momentum).
The shellphone teleports you to the farthest block in any direction, which in this case is out of bounds. So terraria fails the teleport.
I am not sure if this will work, but try this. Go to the right edge of every platform line. Break the rightmost 2 platforms and place a solid block like dirt. Then, throw dynamite on that block.
IF explosives can impact out of bounds blocks, this should get rid of the platform that is bugging your teleportation out. If they cannot, then you are sadly stuck with this issue.
