Overview
Glow squid drift through dark underwater caves emitting a soft cyan glow and leaving glowing particle trails. Damage them and they squirt glowing ink, which briefly blinds and disorients. Their glow ink sacs make signs and item frames glow in the dark, and are the only way to light up text without a light source. They are otherwise identical to ordinary squid: harmless, slow, and quick to suffocate on land.
Glow Squid is a passive mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 10 damage — 5 hearts — to kill one. It is worth 3 XP.
