The '''Silverfish''' is a new mob that is planned for Beta 1.8. Its texture can currently be found in the Beta 1.7.3 minecraft.jar. In the Beta 1.8 pre-release, Silverfish will pop out of stone bricks found in strongholds. If the player mines these blocks Silverfish may pop out and then attack them [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXqw7I7_H9A&lc=mNad58GbJyZQk9-DcjhM-QyjJ764pocQNlEOIsghq48&feature=inbox like so]. A block with the same texture as stone can also be spawned in through commands that can be mined far faster than regular stone and when broken will always release a Silverfish, however this is merely a placeholder block and are encountered naturally but VERY Rarely. Silverfish will also spawn near others of their kind every time the player damages one of them which can cause a swarm very easily if not controlled (Each time one spawns, it breaks the block it came out of without leaving the drop, making it so that an uncontrolled swarm can quickly destroy tons of stone brick within a [[Stronghold]]). They scurry away after the player moves a short distance. They also have the same sounds as [[spiders]], which is most likely a placeholder.

dont they drop nothing as of now... -Wally

If you follow the "Magma Ball" link it tells you that it is NOT an item, and I would assume not a drop. Provided this is true, I move that the drop be changed to unknown, none, or some such. <br>
If left alone, silverfish can re-enter some blocks, including cobblestone.

== History ==
 
The image, silverfish.png, was added to the mobs folder in the Beta 1.7 update. The silverfish mob was later announced for 1.8.
 
 
Jeb confirmed that the silverfish won't be a water mob, ruling out the possibility of the Silverfish being an actual fish.<ref>http://twitter.com/jeb_/status/105613873008226306</ref>
 
 
In the Beta 1.8 update leak, Silverfish can be found in Stone Bricks in Strongholds.

== Trivia ==
 
* In real life, [[wikipedia:Silverfish|silverfish]] are small, wingless insects that are often found in dark areas in buildings. They are infamous for damaging paper-based products.
 
* The block they spawn from when destroyed is ID 97, when placed it will have the texture of regular stone but with a faster mining rate.
 
*As of Pre-1.8 They spawn 1-5 additional Silverfish from nearby Stone, Stone Brick, Mossy Stone Brick, and Cracked Stone Brick when attacked and destroying the block in the process of spawning.
 
*Silverfish make the same noises as [[Spider]]s in the pre-release version of 1.8. This may be a placeholder.
 
*Silverfish will suffocate and can die if they crawl through a Portal block.
 
*Silverfish '''do''' drown in water when forced under by a block above or something similar.
 
*Despite what they are in real life, silverfish cannot break or "eat" through wooden (or any) blocks.

Similarity?

Is it just me or is this basically a nether slime? -fireglo450
Basically, yes (at least in terms of usefulness). However, the .png file is quite different from that of the slimes, and is called "lava." So I am NOT in favor of calling them "Nether slimes." That just sounds silly. -cal-erstein
Unfortunately it's a slime's reskin. Mojang workers are just twirling on their seats instead of doing their jobs and adding a very new separate mobs, :( Xeoxer 20:12, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
Not really. The animation is quite different to the slime's. They split when they jump. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 02:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

drops

dont they drop nothing as of now... -Wally

If you follow the "Magma Ball" link it tells you that it is NOT an item, and I would assume not a drop. Provided this is true, I move that the drop be changed to unknown, none, or some such.
