<br />
=== Fishing ===<br />
A stack of 10 ink sacs can be obtained as a "junk" item from [[Minecraft:fishing]]. Ink sacs are the rarest fishing loot, with a {{frac|1|1000}} chance of obtaining them from fishing with an unenchanted [[Minecraft:fishing rod]]. The [[Minecraft:Luck of the Sea]] enchantment decreases the chances of obtaining ink sacs.<br />
<br />
=== Compound creation ===<br />
Ink sac can be created from its base [[Minecraft:element]]s, using the [[Minecraft:compound creator]].{{Only|bedrock|education}}<br />
