Squid
Squid — mob.
Spawning
Squids use water-creature spawn entries in rivers and ocean biomes. They need water and are commonly found around underwater vegetation, rather than on dry terrain.
| Spawn family | Water creature |
|---|---|
| Spawn environments | Rivers and oceans |
| Required medium | Water |
Drops
The squid loot table gives 1–3 ink sacs. Looting adds an independent 0–1 increase.
| Ink sac | 1–3 |
|---|---|
| Looting increase | 0–1 |
Sounds
The entity has separate ambient, hurt, death, and squirt events. The squirt event accompanies the defensive ink response.
| Ambient | entity.squid.ambient |
|---|---|
| Hurt | entity.squid.hurt |
| Death | entity.squid.death |
| Squirt | entity.squid.squirt |
Behavior
Squids swim through water, can be leashed, and squirt ink particles when hurt by a mob. The Java implementation gives them 10 health and a water-only movement loop.
