Infested stone is a block that looks identical to regular stone but releases a silverfish when broken. You can’t craft it in Survival mode. It’s only accessible through the Creative Inventory, or you can give it to yourself with a command.
It used to be called “stone monster egg” in older Java versions, and “silverfish stone” on legacy consoles like PS3, Xbox 360, and WiiU. The current name has been “infested stone” since Java 1.13.
