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. Silverfish will very rarely pop out of blocks that are mined by the player, and start to attack them.[1]

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.

Trivia

  • In real life, silverfish are small, wingless insects that are often found in dark areas in buildings. They are infamous for damaging wood and paper-based products.
  • Jeb confirmed that the silverfish won't be a water mob, ruling out the possibility of the Silverfish being an actual fish.[2]
  • It is also believed that they are the "scary mob" referred to by 242_girl[3] being added in 1.8. Though some believe that enderman is the "scary mob", it is impossible since the enderman was made by Notch,[4] whereas Jeb made the "scary mob" some time earlier.[3]
