Infested blocks can turn into their normal version when "mob_griefing" is set to false

The Bug

If the gamerule mob_griefing is false, infested blocks can become their regular version if nearby silverfish are attacked. However, no silverfish spawn from this.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set the mob_griefing gamerule to false.

  2. Place down an infested block, and spawn a silverfish next to it.

  3. Attack the silverfish.

  4. In Creative mode, middle-click the stone block, and note how it has turned into a regular stone block rather than its infested counterpart.

Observed Results

The block is no longer infested and has transformed into its regular variant.

Expected Results

The infested block would stay infested when the mob_griefing gamerule is false.

This is strange. At first If the block is touching the ground it turns into a normal stone block but it if it's on top of the infested block it doesn't turn to stone. But then this glitch just suddenly stop working for me. I am in the latest snapshot.

Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Might want to make clear in the report itself that no silverfish are exiting the blocks while that happens.

Can confirm in 1.21.1 and 1.21.2 Pre-Release 3.

I would like to request ownership of this report so that it can be maintained for future versions.
