Creative Shock is a debuff inflicted during the Old One's Army event. Affected players can neither place nor remove blocks. The debuff will be canceled as soon as the player defeats the Old One's Army, the Eternia Crystal is destroyed, or they move outside of the debuff's area. The debuff area is calculated from the positions of the Mysterious Portals and the Eternia Crystal (see Notes for details). The debuff will be re-inflicted if the player moves back into the affected area.

Notes

  • Usually, the debuff area will comprise all of the space between the two Mysterious Portals, and will also extend 50 tiles from the portals' edges outwards in all directions.
    • More precisely,[1] the game draws a rectangle around both Mysterious Portals and the Eternia Crystal. This rectangle is the smallest possible rectangle that still fully contains all three entities. The rectangle is then extended by 50 tiles in all four directions, and constitutes the debuff area. This means that the position of the Eternia Crystal may increase the size of the debuff area, e.g. if it is moved (via a Teleporter and/or hoik) outside of the space between the two portals.
  • Though Torches cannot be freed using pickaxes or drills under the debuff, they may be freed with ⚷ Open / Activate.
  • Cobwebs can be removed via tools or the player touching them, but they cannot be placed.
  • Explosives will destroy susceptible blocks.
  • Buckets cannot be used to add or remove liquids.
  • Wire and Actuators can still be placed.
