Minecraft:Squid

From SAS Gaming Wiki

Template:For Template:More images Template:Infobox entity

A squid is a common aquatic Minecraft:passive mob that spawns in Minecraft:rivers and Minecraft:oceans, and are the main sources of ink sacs, which they drop upon death.

Spawning

Template:IN, 2 to 4 squid can spawn in Minecraft:water or waterlogged block from Y-level 50 to 63 (inclusive), as long as the Minecraft:biome is a Minecraft:river or Minecraft:ocean variant. The block above must also be water, and the block below must be water or waterlogged.<ref group="s" name="water_conditions"> The spawning block and the block below must contain water fluid (water source, flowing water, or waterlogged blocks) while the block above must be water (source or flowing).
The squid itself must also pass the collision check. E.g. they can spawn in waterlogged blocks with no collisions such as kelp, sea grass, or signs, but will fail when trying to spawn in a waterlogged slab or above a waterlogged fence. </ref> Squid share the water creature Minecraft:mob cap with Minecraft:dolphins and Minecraft:nautiluses.

Template:IN, 2 to 4 squid can spawn in ocean biomes, and two can spawn in river biomes. In addition, squid spawn only on the surface, i.e. there must not be a solid or spawnable block above the spawn location.

Squid have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.

Behavior

The ink cloud produced by a squid

Squid are Minecraft:passive toward the player. They are not attracted to light and do not deliberately interact with the player. Squid sometimes beach themselves and suffocate on the banks of rivers and occasionally on ocean beaches. These behaviors are shared with the glow squid.

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

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, squid are extremely resistant to Minecraft:knockback.

Squid cannot swim in lava, even if inflicted with Template:EffectLink. They simply pass through the lava and behave as if on land.

Template:IN, squid can survive on land with Template:EffectLink. However, they still cannot move.

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

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

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

Squid produce a cloud of black ink particles and swim away when attacked. They also produce unique dark blue bubble particles when hit. The ink remains visible when the squid has the Template:EffectLink status effect.

Squid sometimes accidentally beach themselves.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

If the player is in Minecraft:Spectator mode or is far away from a squid (often when it is in an unloaded Minecraft:chunk), it remains stationary. When attacked in this state, squid cannot flee.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

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

Unlike most 'animal' mobs, squid cannot Minecraft:breed. Baby squid can only be found when they naturally spawn. A baby squid eventually turns into an adult after 24000 ticks (20 minutes), and their growth cannot be sped up. Feeding a baby squid a golden dandelion will freeze their growth. Using it again they will then take 24000 ticks (20 minutes) to grow up.

Trivia

  • When Minecraft:Jeb first added squid to Minecraft, he used the code for Minecraft:cows as a basis for squid. He accidentally forgot to remove the milking feature, which led to squid being able to be milked.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
    • He also made a mistake in the squid's movement code, causing a server-client desync over the squid's position, which led to the "flying squid" bug.
  • Jeb also did not realise baby squid were added to the game until seeing one while filming Minecraft:Minecraft Live – March 2026.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
  • Hitting a squid underwater causes it to rise approximately Template:Fraction–Template:Fraction block.
  • Squid don't have a death animation Template:In.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
  • The squid's idle sound is barely audible.
  • Template:IN, if a squid is out of the water, its tentacles swing more slowly as its oxygen meter goes down. When 15 seconds have passed, its tentacles stop swinging and the squid begins to suffocate.
  • In-game squid have eight arms, but in real life they also have two additional long tentacles. The in-game squid is more like an octopus.
  • In-game squid have a gaping, tooth-lined mouth, but as passive mobs they are completely harmless. Real-life squid, like all cephalopods, have a beak instead of teeth.
  • Template:IN, squid are not affected by the "Dinnerbone" and "Grumm" Minecraft:name tag easter egg.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
  • According to Minecraft Education, squid ink is actually Template:W, unlike real squid ink which is mostly mucus and melanin.
