How to make Infested Cobblestone in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft infested cobblestone (formerly called Cobblestone Monster Egg or Silverfish Cobblestone) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

Infested cobblestone is a block that looks exactly like a cobblestone block but spawns a silverfish when the block is broken. In past versions of Java Edition, this block was called a cobblestone monster egg. It was also called a silverfish cobblestone in the older console editions such as PS3, Xbox 360, and WiiU.

In Minecraft, infested cobblestone is an item that can not be crafted in the game. It is only available in Creative mode (not Survival mode) through the Creative Inventory menu.
