Infested Chiseled Stone Bricks Guide

Infested Chiseled Stone Bricks is a vanilla Minecraft block that looks identical to regular chiseled stone bricks but spawns a silverfish when broken. It’s a sneaky trap block that can be used in adventure maps or just to mess with your friends.

What are Infested Chiseled Stone Bricks?

This block appears as normal chiseled stone bricks, but the moment you break it, a silverfish emerges. It’s useful for creating hidden mob spawners or adding tricky encounters to custom maps. The block doesn’t actually contain the silverfish visually, so you can’t tell it apart from a regular chiseled stone brick without breaking it.

In older Minecraft versions, this block was called “Chiseled Stone Brick Monster Egg” or “Silverfish Chiseled Stone Brick” on console editions like PS3, Xbox 360, and WiiU. Modern versions use the name Infested Chiseled Stone Bricks.
