guard cube

A strange utility cube with a decently wide and very tall guard field around it.

Within the radius of its cylinder, vermin cannot spawn naturally (The Vermin Vigil still functions as normal, however), and blocks cannot be placed or destroyed.

The main exception to both of these behaviors is the player; you can still place and break blocks within its radius, and you can still summon vermin from capsules.

By default, an ethereal cyan ring roughly a block tall, at the same height level as the Guard Cube itself, is visible at the edge of the radius to visualize the cube's area of effect. The ring's visibility can be toggled by right-clicking the Guard Cube itself (this does not affect its functionality).
