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 range of the crystal. The crystal's range is 180 blocks horizontally, 58 blocks upwards, and 53 blocks downwards, as measured from the bottom-most center tile of the Eternia Crystal Stand. The debuff will be re-inflicted if the player moves back into the range.
