Description

This block looks like stone bricks that have moss growing on them but inside it hides a silverfish. The moss gives a softer green touched appearance that fits ruins and wet underground rooms. Because mossy stone brick is often used to show age and moisture the infested version is useful for creating natural looking decayed spaces that also have a hazard inside. When broken a silverfish can emerge making the act of clearing mossy walls a more careful task. Players who like to craft convincing ruins will find the block appealing because it preserves the usual mossy stone brick texture while adding a gameplay element. The block is helpful for builders creating ancient temple style rooms and for players who want hidden traps. From an exploration point of view finding mossy stone bricks is a sign that you are in an area that has seen time and change, and the infested version raises the stakes by adding possible enemies.
