Silverfish spawn from broken [[infested block]]s, which generate in [[stronghold]]s, underground in [[mountains]] and [[windswept hills]] [[biome]]s, in [[igloo]] basements, and in [[woodland mansion]] false portal rooms. Silverfish do not appear if the block is broken with the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment.<ref>{{bug|MC-48184|||WAI}}</ref>

Silverfish [[monster spawner]]s naturally generate in [[end portal]] rooms in [[stronghold]]s. Silverfish can spawn from spawners only at [[light level]] 11 or lower. {{IN|java}}, orthey can also spawn on stone types they can enter (stone, cobblestone, stone bricks, etc.) at any light level, and cannot spawn within a 5 block distance of any player{{verify}}. This is the only renewable source of silverfish and infested blocks.{{until|java 1.21|bedrock 1.21.0}}

{{INUpcoming|javaEach 1.21|bedrock[[trial 1.21.0}},chamber]]s silverfishstructure havehas a 25% chance to beselect selectedsilverfish as the "small melee" mob for its [[trial spawner]]s in [[trial chambers]].

Silverfish attack [[player]]s, [[iron golem]]s, and [[snow golem]]s, and they call other silverfish in the area upon being hit. Silverfish pathfind toward the player, and can see the player through walls.

When they suffer [[Poison]] damage or damage inflicted by the player and survive, they cause other silverfish within a 21×11×21 area to break out of their infested blocks. The player can prevent other silverfish from appearing by killing them in one shothit.<ref>{{bug|MC-2432|||WAI}}</ref> If the game rule {{cd|doTileDrops}} is set to {{cd|false}}, the infested blocks are broken, but no silverfish spawn from them.

When idle, silverfish enter a nearby [[deepslate]], [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], [[stone bricks]], [[mossy stone bricks]], [[cracked stone bricks]], or [[chiseled stone bricks]] block, transforming it into the respective [[infested block]] if the [[game rule]] {{cd|mobGriefing}} is set to {{cd|true}}, as per default. They cannot infest [[mossy cobblestone]],<ref>{{bug|MC-167357}}</ref> despite being capable of infesting both mossy blocks and cobblestone, and they also cannot infest [[slab]] and [[stairs]] of these blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-167372}}</ref> They are also unable to infest [[andesite]], [[diorite]], [[granite]] or [[smooth stone]].<ref>{{bug|MC-189974}}</ref>
