When killed, it will split into 2 small cubes, like other slime-like mobs.
Unlike the Minecraft:slime and Minecraft:magma cube, the small versions can grow up into the large version, like how a Minecraft:baby mob works, and the small cubes' growth can be sped up with slimeballs.
It is attracted to the dropped item form of most full blocks. The cube can pick up a block, or a player can Template:Ctrl a full block on the cube, causing the cube to absorb it into its body.

Blocks can be swapped by feeding it.
