They have 8 health points and deal about 1.5 damage per attack. They have an appearance of a small worm like creature with silver spikes and a silver body.

Locations

Silverfish are naturally found in infested stone blocks that are found in Strongholds, underground Mountain biomes, igloo basements and woodland mansions.

They will spawn once the player breaks the blocks that they are in. Some spawners for Silverfish also spawn in End Portal rooms in Strongholds.

Attacks

Silverfish are hostile towards players, iron golems and snow golems. They are very hard to get away from as they home on towards the player and also move through blocks.

They also call all the other Silverfish in range when they are hit. To prevent this from happening, players need to kill them in one-shot. Players can deal with them by enchanting their weapon with Bane of Arthropods.

Drops

Silverfish are not useful to the player at all and only drop 5 EXP orbs and nothing else.
