Great, more stupid extreme hills only underground content. Seriously, first emeralds and now bats and silverfish blocks. If it's underground, it should be everywhere.
I find bats floating around in my swamp caves, so bats don't count. It is saddening that the silverfish blocks are exclusive to EH. Hopefully they change it next snapshot.
I can try to shoot a video of it sometime today, but they're a bit annoying to find in general.
Only in Extreme Hills is a bit weird. When I was orignally looking for them, and couldn't find them, I had presumed that they were going to be regional in likely wet areas, so I had checked classes for those like swampland and those first, but found nothing. I didn't even think to search directly in Extreme Hills, I only found it when doing a search on the entire source for the silverfish block.

Oh, I heard something about them being only in Mountain Biomes. Sorry about that.
Jeb will probable make some dumb bass excuse like, "Mining for emeralds should have more risks to it." Well so should diamonds, make cave spiders spawn at Y-20 and below.
Edit: Why was this moved to Recent updates when it belongs in future updates?
I think the silverfish should drop whatever block they were hiding in. (example: break a stone silverfish block kill the silverfish, drops a stone block)
Edit (after reading entire thread): they should spawn everywhere it would make mining more fun and exciting , whoever came up with the idea of cave spiders spawning at y 20 and below (I think GerbilCrab475) that's something I actually would see Jeb putting in for Hardcore mode for a silly excise like "I made them spawn there because I thought Hardcore was too easy" and by the way GerbilCrab475 nice profile pic.

That would aggravate me if they kept it like that, they should make them spawn in all biomes. I'm still glad they added this, I was waiting for it forever.
Don't forget though, you can't pick up the blocks with silk touch. :/
You can't really grief with them unless you're in creative mode.
For me (and many others) they only spawn during the time when you first find the fortress. As soon as you click the Save & Quit button, they no longer spawn and you must find a new fortress or use McEdit to delete the chunks.
Will they only spawn in caves? Or will they also spawn in random rock that isn't connected to caves, that would make clearing out a room for building quite annoying

You don't have to worry about it unless you are in the extreme humps biome. Besides, it's not too common (but not too rare either).
I don't like it. I mean, having them around in certain biomes only is fine, but it should at least make sense. Like Silverfish avoiding certain biomes based on their climate.
Because the underground caves that are way below the surface would totally be affected by snow that is on the surface rather than the lava and water in the caves.

They spawn like ore, and therefore are not tied to a cave system. They're less common than iron ore though, on par with redstone that spans y 0-64.
The world isn't swiss cheese with them though, you're chances of actually hitting one when just tunneling is rather rare.

Quote from The Recent Update section. »
The "Recent Updates" section is the place for you to discuss all the details about the recent Minecraft update! Only threads discussing the features of the most recent Official update, and weekly snapshots since that update only, should be discussed in this section.
This plus the rest of the 1.4 snapshot features really make the game more fit for a Halloween update.
Also, for any people who hate the silverfish update should realize that this brings some more challenge to the game, which most people want.
Also, I'm not the most on this update, but not the least either. Unlike most people, its not an update that overly pleases me, but its not the worst update either, if it means 99.9% of the community is pleased.
I do understand why tons of people are in love with this feature, it adds more challenge to the game.
The olddays mod is dead, sorry to tell you.
The far lands generation was epic, why not re-add it?
If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would
go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them,
copy & paste this into your signature and hope it happens.

I am ninja'd far too often.

Heck, I want a slider for it so I can set the entire world to be full of silverfish.
I want it everywhere too...

It's been fixed.
And the thread you linked to also notes it has been fixed.

I don't think silk touch works on those blocks. If anything, you would get a stone block instead of the silverfish block.
