I suggest some small suggestions sorta making silverfish less useless. Since silverfish don't have a use, I wanted to make some at least things that they could do for you. Like their drops now. If you kill a silverfish, it can drop 1-2 scales. The scales can be made into blocks (4 scales, as big as the small crafting table in your inventory. This also means you can craft it).'
Silverfish scales. (texture)
Silverfish blocks for building, the picture below show all of the blocks in their glory.
Normal silverfish block (crafted in a 2x2 pattern with scales, like quartz)
Silverfish bricks (crafted with 2x2 pattern like the above one, but with the blocks instead)
Silverfish pillar (crafted as a line of silverfish blocks up so 1x3 pattern) Thanks to @joshosh34 for the new texture!
Old texture =
New and improved texture by him =
Blocks rendered by Joshosh. Thanks man!
Also, while I was making my textures, I figured that it would be a nice idea (in my opinion) to make it so that you could "carve" your silverfish stone to look like faces, sorta like that of Minecraft's pumpkin. And no, you will not be able to use them as a light source, sorry. Just decoration.
For the crafting recipes, pretend that the stone is the silverfish stone, k?
Also pretend that the clay chunks are silverfish scales.
Ok, so here are my blocks for all of them... It would be named Carved Block (Happy, Bored, Sad)
Happy one =
Bored one =
Sad one =
The blocks have something they can do for you, they are used to make reinforced furnaces (scale blocks around a furnace) the furnaces can smelt stuff 1.5x as fast, but one thing is that the fuel will melt 1.5x as fast also, so bring more if you are using one of these.
Silverfish scales can be used to make chainmail armor. I don't really need to explain the chainmail armor, because it already is in the game, but I wanted to bring it back. (no, it wasnt ever back gen no support)
DrWeegee also rendered the furnaces. Thanks man!
Speaking of furnaces, here are the textures.

@DesinitDraco had some reasons why the furnace & chain mailboxes (lol) would make sense
"I had already given quite a bit of a fantasy explanation to how the Furnace (and the Chainmail) could possibly work
Silverfish are insects, that in real life, are just pests. In Minecraft, however, they are in fact large, hostile creatures found near the portal to the End and rarely deep underground."
"The Portal Room has a large pool of Lava, and Monster Eggs usually spawn deep underground in open spaces (usually lava pools or the like). For them to survive in these extremely hot conditions, they would need some sort of mechanism to reflect the heat, thus their scales. Their scales could, in theory, be an insulator that reflects large amounts of heat. If you were to say coat a Furnace in these scales, they could again in theory, insulate the heat being released, slowing heat loss and allowing anything within the Furnace to be heated much faster."
"Now onto the Chainmail use. Silverfish are found deep underground, and are also fairly durable in combat. To allow for living in Stone underground (where a lot of pressure is usually applied, their scales could be very hard, and when linked together could be used to make a durable coat of chainmail to be used in armor."
If you like my suggestion, give me reasons why you like it! If you don't, then give me some reasons and proper discussion so I can fix whatever you hate about the suggestion. I'm also requesting critique.
Ok, since it's back to a single idea, I like the ideas. Support.
I always wanted chainmail as a decoration, but mobs in my hard difficulty world are too busy messing with iron and gold armor.
Even though you say this is a 'Mini Suggestions Thread' it is still considered a wishlist and can still be locked. I still intend to give my opinions on these anyway.
Why would someone waste coal to smelt cobblestone to make tools? That is just a lot of effort that is not needed. No Support on this Idea.
Usefuler? That is definitely not a word. Maybe change that to (More) Useful Emeralds instead. This is an interesting Idea to be honest. Most players tend to build super-tools that cost large amounts of exp to create and even more to repair with the new Enchanting system. A way to reduce these cost even if by a little could be a major asset. It is not too overpowered for beginners, but is a bit iffy once players learn how to set up high-efficiency trading posts with villagers to easily collect emeralds and trade for decent equipment. Partial Support on this Idea.
Silverfish in all honesty need a user. Currently they are just nuisances that can be found near the End Portal (and occasionally underground). The Silverfish Scales being used to upgrade furnaces does make some sense factoring in the fact that the spawner is found in a room with a large pool of lava (or deep underground under mass amounts of heat and pressure), and could be highly resistance to heat of that magnitude (the heat given off, not the actual lava itself). Those heat-resistant scales could be used to coat a Furnace, and the heat-resistant properties of the scales could, in theory, insulate the Furnace, decreasing the amount of heat lost, thus allowing items within the Furnace to heat much fast, allowing for the overall efficiency of the Furnace to be greatly increased. The scales could also be used to craft Chainmail for Chainmail Armor or Chain Ropes/Ladders or etc. Full Support on this Idea.

"Your suggestion is only allowed one core idea. Any more than that and your thread will be locked and forgotten for eternity.
If you have multiple ideas, but they all fit within the same core idea, that's fine. Take a look at the following examples. Green is good. Red is bad. Mind you, that your suggestion will need a lot more detail than what the example provides. The examples are just a general idea thing."
-The thread you should've read before making this. thx for making it a non-wishlist
Interesting concept. Only thing I don't get is being able to make chainmail armor with the scales. It doesn't really make sense to me. Love the textures though.

Thanks for the partial supporting. I might just put this on another thread. Because I changed this to not look like a wishlist. Wishlists suck.

I agree with EVERYTHING you said. I didn't think about that spawner next to the lava. I added an Endermite idea too.Thank you for actally responding to me. The smelt stone one was garbage anyway. The silverfish one I kept as the main idea for this OP. The Useful Emeralds will be on another thread.

I can't see why we'd be using fish scales to make a furnace? There is also no good reason to add another kind of furnace at all, since you can make a huge amount of furnaces and make automated systems with hoppers.
Silverfish scales can be used to make chainmail armor. This isn't too OP, as silverfish don't spawn that much. (As of 1.8.1) I'm sorry that my other post was a wishlist. I thought that could save up some space so that I don't have over 9000 threads.
This is also a strange one... You should never say things like "this isn't too op" because you just never know who can come in and prove something wrong. Though still, your idea isn't overpowered. I'll give credit that your ideas are balanced and I'd also want silverfish to have some use, but using fish scales to make furnaces and chainmail armor is... yeah...
I entered this thread before it was a wishlist, so I'm curious to your other ideas were. Could you please make your suggestion a wishlist again so I could see what they were? I'm joking. Don't... don't do that.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

The other ideas were pretty OP and very stupid. I don't think you would want to see them, though, the Better Emeralds one wasn't too OP. It had something to do with anvils. hint hint.

Chain-mail can be crafted with fire, which you cannot obtain without mods/cheating; I think silverfish should have a lesser chance to drop scales. Blocks doesn't make sense for crafting armour; What if they dropped "Chain/Steel" nuggets, which can be crafted into a ingot, then a block. The ingot can be used for armour, and the block for crafting the furnace (Even tho I don't like the furnace idea). 2-5% chance to drop a nugget, and a rare drop for an ingot .05%
Now I can see the textures clear as day, and I have to say that you are amazing at making textures! I may have to recruit you for some help in makiing some Block textures for my Mod XD
Maybe instead of a pure black outline on the Silverfish scale, maybe make it a deep grey to make it not look like the old meat textures. Just think it'll look a bit more natural. Overall, I like this idea, and even if people don't think it'll cut it for Vanilla, this could make a great mod!

I think that's just a place-holder. Why did you mention it? I'm sure if this was added, it could be easily replaced.

Yes, exactly! Having a all black outline just makes it feel a bit off to me, you know?
