Worm Tooth becomes unavailable post hardmode

[Galenmacil]

The only enemies that gives them, "Devourers", no longer spawn in hardmode. They are replaced by "World Feeder" which do not drop said item.

Creating "Thorn Potions" become impossible at that point.

Possible solution:

1 - Make the "World Feeder" drop tooth.
2 - Change the recipe of the "Thorn Potion" to require something else instead of the tooth. Strangely enough, they are no Crimson equivalent to them. I would suggest replacing them with the universally available "Antlion Mandible" instead.

According to the wiki, I think the dev probably noticed that error and tried to correct it.

However, in Hardmode, when the Dryad is in the Graveyard biome she sells the seeds of the world evil opposite of the current world evil (i.e. Corrupt Seeds in a Crimson world and Crimson Seeds in a Corrupt world). This means the player can create an artificial Corrupt biome in a Crimson world and therefore allow Devourers to spawn and drop Worm Teeth.

Where did you get the information from, that they stop spawn in hardmode?

This is more or less unrelated to OPs concern.
They spawn in hardmode, the seeds are only there to enable the potion for Crimson users.

I know its not the best way around it but i usually just have a separate world with a corruption and just don't go past Hard mode, thus not having any issue collecting them its also pretty neat since your hard mode kitted out player slays though them pretty easily.

Yes. That would be the non ideal solution: Creating a new world...

Well, by testing it actually. I tried getting some in a Master post hardmode world without success. I haven't tried for like 2 hours straight, mind you, but it became obvious that they either do not spawn or are so rare that this is about the equivalent.

Well you can actually meet devourers in hardmode. They are just super rare. I tried for almost an hour and one appeared in my crimson world (I used seeds from dryad). P.S. sorry for necroposting but I hope that information helps someone, because I couldn't find anything useful about this topic on internet
