Use Glowstone Dust as Glow Ink Sacs
Use Glowstone Dust as Glow Ink Sacs lets players use glowstone dust wherever the game asks for glow ink sacs, without a mob drop.
What it does
Glow ink sacs come only from squids and glow squids, so players who build with glow effects depend on those mobs. This mod adds a crafting route that turns glowstone dust into the same glowing ink, so the glowing recipes can be made from a material gathered from the nether and the world. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 8 game versions, 1.17.1 – 1.19.4, under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.

What the author says
With this Fabric mod, you no longer need to use Glow Ink Sacs to glow up your world. I made this mod because I feel like the Glow Ink Sacs were added only due to the mob vote even tho they have no utility that couldn't be done by Glowstone dust.
