Update 0.9.0 |
Monster Eggs (AKA Silverfish Stone) are Blocks that spawn Silverfish when broken. They were added in Update 0.9.0.
Types[]
Obtaining[]
Monster Eggs cannot be obtained naturally. Once broken, they do not yield themselves, but spawn a single Silverfish.
Usage[]
As it tricks the Player into thinking it is a Stone block, it can be used as a trap, because once mined, the block will spawn a Silverfish.
Trivia[]
- When a Silverfish is not pursuing the Player, the Silverfish will go to the nearest stone, cobblestone or any stone brick variant, then it will "poof", turning the block into Monster Egg.
- On later updates, letting a silverfish enter any variant of stone bricks and cobblestone will make the block turn into stone.
- When mined in Survival, the Silverfish will have full Health.
- However, when mined in Creative, Silverfish will not spawn.
- Silverfish Stone can be made by placing Stone, Cobblestone, or Stone Bricks and tapping a Silverfish Spawn Egg on it, as the Silverfish will go inside it, converting the block into a Silverfish Stone.
- As of Update 0.16.0, all types of Monster Eggs are available in the Creative Inventory, in the Decoration Section.
- If the Player attacks a Silverfish directly, nearby Silverfish Stone will break, spawning other aggressive Silverfish.
- However, if the Silverfish is killed in one hit or by any other means (besides the Player), it will not alert other Silverfish.
- It will take longer to be mined by a Pickaxe than mining regular Stone, Cobblestone, or Stone Bricks.
- However, it can be mined faster by hand. This can easily distinguish this block from Stone, Cobblestone, and Stone Bricks.
