Talk:Infested Block

Removed Stub
I removed the stub for the page. I couldn't think of anything else to add on about Monster Eggs. --ThingStuffObject 21:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

citation on name
Does anyone have a citation on the name of this block? If not, it should just be renamed "Block 97", as it's kind of stupid to have a fanmade name for an article title when there's something more official that can be used. --Ancientpower 17:33, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Download the 12w21b snapshot and look in the creative mode inventory, between Jack O' Lantern and Stone Bricks: Stone Monster Egg. -- Orthotope 01:02, 26 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Citation? LOL just look in the game code yourself then (or creative inventory if it's an available item/block). People don't usually create/rename articles for fun. - Asterick6 (talk) 02:23, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

pick up monster egg in 1.2.5 creative
1. place a cobblestone block, 2. spawn a silverfish in it, 3. use the pick-block key. these are stackable. Flash5 14:59, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Monster Egg Generation Pattern
I'm using 14w21b, and after replacing lots of regular stone blocks with air (via /fill) I realized that Stone Monster Eggs generate (in extreme hills) like ores: in "veins".

I'd like this to be looked into more & added to the article.Gamegirlxl (talk) 23:26, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * It's already there, check the first paragraph. --KnightMiner  (t 03:20, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Monster Egg effects on spawners
It appears that when more of the stone bricks in a stronghold near a silverfish spawner are monster eggs, less silverfish will spawn.108.85.152.134 13:34, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Console
The lead text indicates that these blocks are in the Console Edition. Can anyone help figure out when / whether that is true? (, maybe?) And if so, when they were added? Thanks! This leaves the text in the lead very much unsupported unless a CE player can vouch for it. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:49, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * According to the patch notes at the Xbox 360 patch notes forum thread, silverfish themselves were added in Xbox 360 Console_Edition_version_history
 * In the Monster Egg page history, An anon (single contribution) Special:Diff/414475 stated that they were added to Xbox 360 by the time of the edit, Dec 22, 2012, which was indeed after TU5.
 * Further up the history, the next time that section was touched in any important way was when cleaned up for style, Special:Diff/703318, Aug 21, 2014.
 * None of the patch notes at Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U mention 'Monster Egg' or 'Silverfish Block' being added.
