Peaceful Silverfish
by BerryFarm97
Peaceful Silverfish keeps infested stone and its silverfish active on Peaceful difficulty, where vanilla removes them.
What it does
On Peaceful, silverfish normally do not appear from infested stone. This NeoForge mod lets them still emerge from vanilla infested stone when the game runs on Peaceful, so the mechanic keeps working. Silverfish farms built with Create contraptions continue to function as they do in vanilla, without turning the world hostile for other mobs.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may leave it out. It is a stand-alone change for anyone who wants silverfish mechanics without creepers or skeletons. It is published for NeoForge only, across 11 game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Peaceful Silverfish is a simple little mod that lets silverfish still pop out of vanilla infested stone, even when you are playing on Peaceful. It is awesome as a Create mod add on because your silverfish farms and contraptions keep working without you having to turn the world into a hostile mob circus. It is also…
