    Wormhole Potions only work in multiplayer, and they will only work if you're on the same team as the other player you want to teleport to.
    • To change what team you're on, open your inventory and select one of the colored shields underneath the PvP toggle button.

    You don't need to use or equip the potion in order to actually use it. As long as the Wormhole Potion is in your inventory, you will be able to teleport to another person on your team by clicking their player icon (head) on the full map. [2]
