Infested Stone
minecraft:infested_stoneInfested Stone looks like a plain Stone block but harbors a silverfish that erupts when the block is disturbed. It breaks noticeably faster than normal Stone, the main clue that gives it away before it is mined.
Uses
- Stone — Mining with Silk Touch yields plain Stone with no silverfish encounter, letting builders clear it safely.
Found In
- Windswept and mountain biomes — Generates as ore-like blobs mixed into stone at Overworld heights from Y=-64 to 63.
- Strongholds — Occasionally scattered among stone in stronghold generation.
Drops
- stone× 1silk-touch
FAQ
What drops when I mine Infested Stone normally?
Nothing. The block breaks, releases an aggressive silverfish, and leaves no item unless mined with Silk Touch.
How can I tell it apart from normal Stone?
It breaks roughly twice as fast as regular Stone, and it produces a different note-block sound.
Does Fortune help here?
No. Fortune has no effect since the block never drops an item without Silk Touch.
Where do these blobs generate?
They form small vein-like clusters within stone in windswept hills, meadows, and grove biomes, similar to how ore veins generate.
