A type of cluster which has a spatial property. These clusters can be culled from rendering if it isn't in view.

The mesh of a cluster needs to be rebuilt if any of its bricks were changed in a way which affects its rendering. When a brick changes, it's converted into a [[developer:fast_brick|fast brick]] which helps to prevent subsequent remeshing.
