Squid No Glitch
by SteveKunG
Squid No Glitch fixes several vanilla bugs with squids, covering movement desync, levitation, slow falling, stuck squids and movement after distance.
What it does
The mod changes how squids move in vanilla Minecraft. A check on the client stops movement from falling out of sync, which addresses several bug reports. Squids also receive the slow falling movement vector and reset their fall distance, and their downward speed is capped at 0.15 so they stop sticking to land. Squids that a player has moved away from resume movement when the player is far off, because the inactivity check that blocked it is removed.
The mod requires UniMixins on every loader. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 25 release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Either side can run it, and neither the server nor the client needs it.
Key features
Movement desync fix
A client-side check prevents squid movement from falling out of sync with the server.
Slow falling and fall distance
Squids use the slow falling movement vector and reset their fall distance after it applies.
Land-stuck fix
Downward movement is capped so squids no longer become stuck on land.
Distance movement restore
Squids resume movement when the player is far from them, instead of staying idle.

Use cases
Servers with squid farms

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who notice squids freezing, sticking to land or desyncing, and want the vanilla behavior corrected without changing other mobs.
