Squid Improvements

by derexXD

Squid Improvements changes how squids behave in vanilla worlds, giving their ink clouds a blinding effect and making glow squids glow.

FabricForgeNeoForgeMIT LicenseOpen source1.15 – 26.3

What it does

Squids in the mod can blind a player who attacks them, and a punch now sets off a visible ink release instead of the particles seen in vanilla. Glow squids also gain a glowing effect, so their ink clouds light up a dark area. The additions suit survival worlds and add a mild nuisance to fights with squids. Installation is separate for each loader: the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and a server-side plugin build exists for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur. Files cover 1.15 – 26.3 under the MIT License, which is open source.

Key features

  1. Blinding ink clouds

    Ink released by a squid can blind nearby players, acting as a defensive effect when a squid is attacked.

  2. Glowing glow squids

    Glow squids emit a glowing effect, so the area around them stays lit as they move through water.

  3. Punch reaction

    Striking a squid releases ink with visible clouds, where vanilla shows only particles.

What the author says

Better Squids. When you punch a squid, it already releases ink in vanilla, but only as particles. What if said cloud of ink actually blinded you as a defense mechanism? Would be annoying, but a fun game addition! Also glow squid ink clouds will make you glow.
