A '''redstone bug''' was a joke variant of [[silverfish]] present in the April Fool's [[Java Edition 2.0]] update.

== Spawn ==

Redstone bugs can spawn if a redstone wire increases the strength. The chance that they [[spawn]] is 1%. The chance increases for every [[redstone]] bug in a 7×7×7 area by 5%. The <code>Color</code> value of the bug can reach from <code>33292288</code> to <code>66846720</code>.

== Behavior ==
Redstone bugs, effectively being reskinned [[silverfish]], shared all of their behavior.
