What is Infested Deepslate in Minecraft?
An infested deepslate is a dangerous trap block that looks exactly like a regular deepslate block, but it has a silverfish hiding inside it. Its main purpose is to be a surprise threat to players exploring deep underground. When an unsuspecting player breaks this block, instead of getting the block, a small and aggressive silverfish mob will pop out and attack. This can be very dangerous, as the silverfish can call other nearby silverfish to help it. For players, this block is mostly a hazard to be aware of, but it can also be collected and used to create clever traps of their own.
How to get Infested Deepslate in Minecraft
The only way to get an infested deepslate block is to find one and mine it with a Silk Touch pickaxe. Infested deepslate is found exclusively in strongholds that generate in the deepslate layers of the world, below Y level 0. They are mixed in with the regular deepslate walls of these deep strongholds. If you break an infested block with a regular pickaxe, a silverfish will spawn and the block will be destroyed. Using a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment is the only way to pick up the block itself without releasing the mob inside. Another way an infested block can be created is when a silverfish mob attacks a player and then burrows into a nearby deepslate block, transforming it into an infested one.
How to use Infested Deepslate in Minecraft
The main use for an infested deepslate in a player's hands is for creating traps. Since it looks identical to a regular deepslate block, you can place it in a wall or floor of another player's base. When they try to mine it, they will get a nasty surprise as a silverfish pops out to attack them. This is a fun way to prank your friends on a server. You can also use them in adventure maps to create hidden dangers for players to overcome. Other than that, it has no other use. It cannot be used in any crafting recipes. It is a block that is all about surprise and danger, turning the common deepslate into a potential threat.
