Havent played in a couple of months, since 1.2.5 really. Building my house in extreme hills, dig down and found a clump of silverfish but couldnt find a stronghold by digging around.
So can they spawn randomly now? or is there a stronghold somewhere
Only in extreme hills however. You'll be at peace in all other biomes, but of course you won't get the emeralds. The price we now pay for little green rocks.
There's silverfish eggs in random spots. I have to agree with everyone, in extreme hills. Once I was mining in extreme hills and I found four silverfish eggs. They were near lava, so they got killed by me or they burnt in the lava.
