Spawning [ ]

In Java Edition, 2 to 4 squids can spawn in water from Y-level l to 64, every bit long as the biome is a river or ocean variant.

In Bedrock Edition, 2 to 4 squids can spawn in body of water biomes, and two squids can spawn in river biomes; and squid have a v% chance to spawn as babies. In addition, squid spawn merely on the surface, i.e. in that location must not be a solid or spawnable block above the spawn location.

Drops [ ]

Ink Sac s 1–3. The maximum amount is increased by ane per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–6 with Looting 3.
1–3 Feel when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Like other baby mobs, killing a baby squid yields no items or experience.

Behavior [ ]

Squid are passive toward the role player. They are not attracted to light and do not deliberately interact with the player.

When a squid moves, its tentacles open up and close, giving information technology an advent of pushing itself leisurely frontwards. A squid hovers in place when first spawned into the globe and wanders effectually aimlessly in three dimensions.

Squid suffocate when out of water, dying after 300 game ticks (15 seconds). While on land, they remain stationary until they suffocate. They can take fall harm and burn similar any other country mob, simply they cannot drown. When out of the water, squid are extremely resistant to knockback.

Squid cannot swim in lava, even if given a Burn Resistance issue. They simply laissez passer through the lava and behave as if on land.

Unlike land-based mobs, squid can swim against a current and not go pushed by it.‌^{[ Java Edition only ]}

Guardians and elder guardians set on squid in the aforementioned mode as they would do to a player, even if the squid is afflicted by Invisibility.

Squid are afflicted by the Impaling enchantment — In Java Edition because they are aquatic mobs; In Bedrock Edition as long every bit they touch h2o.

Squid produce a cloud of black ink particles and swim abroad when attacked. They as well produce unique nighttime blue chimera particles when hit.

Squid sometimes beach themselves and suffocate on the banks of rivers and occasionally on ocean beaches.

Squid are attacked by axolotls.

Although squid have a infant variant in Bedrock Edition, there is currently no way to breed them.

If the role player is in Spectator style or is far away from the squid,^{[ more information needed ]} the squid remains stationary. When attacked in this land, the squid cannot abscond.

History [ ]

1.vii					Until Beta 1.7, squid would not de-spawn like other mobs. This made squid a popular pet as once harvested they could be put in aquariums and kept at that place. However, this has been corrected because of their downwards motion (at the time) acquired them to pool in relatively deep crevices in the bounding main or lakes, thus making ink sacs hard to learn every bit further squid would not spawn until the local population had been lowered.
