Minecraft:Glow Squid

Template:For Template:More images Template:Infobox entity A glow squid is a variant of the normal Minecraft:squid found in dark underwater areas, typically in Minecraft:ocean depths, Minecraft:canyons, and underground lakes. It has an aqua luminescent texture, and is the only source of Minecraft:glow ink sacs.

Spawning

Template:IN, schools of 4 to 6 glow squid spawn in Minecraft:water (source block or flowing) in complete darkness in the Minecraft:Overworld below layer 30, except for Minecraft:deep dark and sulfur cave biomes. Unlike most other aquatic mobs, they do not require water or waterlogged blocks above or below their spawning space. In all spawnable biomes, the spawn weight is Template:Frac and the spawn chance is 100%.

Template:IN, glow squid spawn anywhere when there's water underground, in schools of 2 to 4 (below a solid roof categorized as cave spawn, while squid are surface spawns) anywhere except Minecraft:deep dark biomes, from Y=-64 to Y=30, in any light level. The spawn weight is 10 in all spawnable biomes except Minecraft:mangrove swamp, in which the spawn weight is 100.

Glow squid have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.

Behavior

Glow squid are Minecraft:passive toward the player. They are not attracted to light and do not deliberately interact with the player. Glow squid sometimes beach themselves<ref>Template:Bug</ref> and suffocate on the banks of rivers and occasionally on ocean beaches. These behaviors are shared with the traditional squid.

Glow squid wander around aimlessly in three dimensions as long as they are in the water, opening and closing their tentacles, which gives them the appearance of pushing themselves leisurely forward.

A glow squid's hitbox does not include its tentacles, and therefore cannot be damaged by attacking its tentacles.

Glow squid suffocate when out of water, dying after Template:Convert. While on land, they remain stationary until they suffocate.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> They can take fall damage and burn like any other land mob, but they cannot drown. When out of the water, glow squid are extremely resistant to Minecraft:knockback.

Glow squid appear to glow, but do not produce block lighting. They stop glowing for Template:Convert when harmed. They are emissive with Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, and the light pixels glow especially strongly.

Glow squid cannot swim in lava, even if inflicted with Minecraft:Fire Resistance. They simply pass through the lava and behave as if on land.

Template:IN, a glow squid can survive on land with Minecraft:Water Breathing. However, they still cannot move.

Unlike land-based mobs, glow squid can swim against a current and not get pushed by it.Template:Only

Minecraft:Guardians and Minecraft:elder guardians attack glow squid in the same manner as they would a player, even if the glow squid is affected by Minecraft:Invisibility. Minecraft:Axolotls also attack glow squid.

Glow squid are affected by the Minecraft:Impaling enchantment — Template:In because they are Minecraft:aquatic mobs; Template:In as long as they touch water.

Glow squid constantly produce crystalline particles around them. When attacked, they emit a cloud of turquoise ink particles and swim away. The particles and the ink remain visible when the glow squid has the Minecraft:Invisibility status effect.

If the player is in Minecraft:Spectator mode or is far away from glow squid (often when they are in unloaded Minecraft:chunks), they remain stationary. When attacked in this state, the squid cannot flee.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Like a land-based mob, a glow squid can be picked up by a Minecraft:minecart.

Unlike most “animal” mobs, glow squid cannot Minecraft:breed. Baby glow squid can be found only when they naturally spawn. A baby glow squid eventually turns into an adult after 24000 ticks (20 minutes), and their growth cannot be sped up.
