Silverfish Caves (1.17)

   The Silverfish cave would look mostly like a regular cave, except for the strangely large diamond veins. If you don't think twice about the large diamonds and can't resist the tempting baby blue ore, you might be in over your head in Silverfish.

   The Silverfish Cave would spawn somewhere above Y15 (To make it more obvious that its fake to seasoned players.) It wouldn't be connected to regular cave systems, instead it would be a small pocket. Fake diamonds will always spawn in large veins to lure unsuspecting miners. Once the fake diamonds are mined, a large amount of silverfish will spring out from all walls and attack their prey. I would like to see a lot of silverfish, making this a tough battle. The fake diamonds would also spawn Silverfish. Maybe the silverfish from the diamonds would be stronger and also slightly blue? Also, to make things easier, the fake diamonds could also have a slightly different texture.

    I like this idea but the diamonds should be real and all the blocks around it should be filled with tones of silverfish. Breaking the diamonds triggers this trap. Thus if you actually defeat the large number of creepy crawlies you get a good reward. Additionally, if you see high amounts of silverfish in an area you might get the idea to check it out as there might be a good reward on the other side.

    Maybe these caves have more ores in general, more frequent and more exposed. Also I like the idea of making so silverfish are triggered by mining ores and not just from hurting other silverfish.

    Also this will make silverfish a more common enemy than just in strongholds and mountains which is a nice thing
