Silverfish Keep Names when Infesting Stone

Really Really basic idea, but i feel it's relevant as an idea. Basically, Silverfish keep their mob data when infesting blocks, keeping their names, health and all that.

As well as this, i would also add to this that mining an Infested block with Silk Touch actually gave you the infested block with the Silverfish mob data.

I imagine this will be sort of a nice feature for many people, but especially for people who try to create "zoos" or "pets" out of hostile mobs and would like them to stay, as well as people who want to do minor pranks for their friends.

I imagine that this could be pretty easily done by using the same sort of code in the Bee Hives/Nests, and how Mob Data is stored in them.

    Yeah! I think it would be very possible to implement. I've always wanted to obtain infested blocks in survival, and using silk touch would be a very logical way to grant access to it.

    I think this would generally make sense, and now that we have bee nests, we can see that it's plainly doable!
