Infested Block

Monster eggs (also known as Silverfish Block; called Silverfish Stone, Silverfish Cobblestone, and Silverfish Stone Brick in the Console Edition) are a block that spawns silverfish when broken. Monster eggs have identical looks to either stone, cobblestone, or stone brick.

Breaking
Monster eggs take the same amount of time to break with any tool. When the block is broken, whether by a player or by an explosion, a silverfish spawns where it was broken.

Mining a monster egg with a Silk Touch tool drops the block that the monster egg is disguised as, and does not spawn the silverfish.

A silverfish will not drop if the block is destroyed by the ender dragon.

Natural generation
Stone brick, cracked stone brick, and mossy stone brick monster eggs are found in Strongholds rarely in place of normal stone bricks.

Stone monster eggs are rarely found in the Extreme Hills biome.

Creative
Monster eggs are available in the inventory in creative. They can also be made by placing a stone, cobblestone, or stone brick and then using a silverfish spawn egg on it. Attempting to add more silverfish into the block will result in the silverfish spawning normally. When a monster egg is destroyed by a player in Creative mode, a silverfish is not spawned.

Usage
When mined, monster eggs will spawn a silverfish which will instantly attack the player. If the player attacks a silverfish directly with a sword, bow or potion of Harming, or when a silverfish takes poison damage, nearby monster eggs will break, spawning other aggressive silverfish. If the silverfish is killed in one hit, nearby monster eggs will not break, and no silverfish will spawn from them.
