I like it, but other than getting ink sacs from them, what do squids have for you?
Also, what non-wool use does an ink sac have?
None, this suggestion is just to multiply squids in your aquarium and easily get them in there. If someone finds inc sacs valuable, this is great for them. I agree with another recent suggestion where you can eat them with a 10% chance of poisoning. It makes sense, as you can eat rotten flesh and spider eyes. Why not another edible organ? :smile.gif:

I like this idea, and support it. It wold be a nice way to have aquariums, and Ink Sacs are pretty valuable for making Sprite Art in Survival. And maybe Squid can drop, like, sushi as an extra for farming.
Simple good idea. I fully support, one of the first things I did on the pre-release was setup an animal farm and was slightly bummed that there's no way to get a squid aquarium that I was able to find.
I would say yes, with the only problem being that fish is an edible item, which is why notch used wheat and not bread or something. If you can make use of somthing or think of a new item which the squids would eat that doesn't already have a use, than suggest that.

Creeper Jockeys, Because Screw Your Sense of Safety
thats an alright idea, but i have a few critasisms
1st of all maybe you dont fish but me and alot of people i know do.
2nd whats the point of breeding squids? infanet ink sacks? there practicly useless.
3rd "it will wait on the edge of the ocean" squids cant acualt swim they just sink to the bottom of the ocean
4th "smell" SQUIDS HAVE NOSES!!?!?!?1!??!?!!?!?!?!?one??!1
5th "We've all tried it" whos "we" and why did they try to move squids?

1. Don't matter, not part of the suggestion.
2. Squids are there, we can't remove them, so we might as well be able to breed them like all other animals.
3. When they follow you they don't follow their normal movement algorithms.
4. You know what I mean, you shove it in their face to get them to see it.
4. Almost everyone who has played Minecraft long enough has tried to move squids into a personal tank.

I personally like this idea. Milk could be funny, as there once was a bug where you could milk squids. I think raw fish would be the most realistic, though. As for squid AI, maybe they just fix squid to have the ability to swim horizontally and up. Also, maybe an idea for ink sacs could be mixing it with paper makes it throwable, and will make inkblots on the player who got hit's screen, or make the mob go loopy and look around, and run in random directions.

You can't make metre cubed pieces of rock get jiggy with each other, that's just WRONG.

Maybe now that hitting an animal will make it run, squids would squirt ink on your screen and swim away? I should rename this topic to Squid Breeding and other squid AI enhancements. :biggrin.gif:

Now that animals can breed with wheat, squids obviously don't do the same, but they should be able to breed too.
What if you could get a squid to "smell" raw fish as animals do with wheat, and the squid will swim through the water behind you. If you go on land, it will wait on the edge of the ocean.
Right clicking a squid with raw fish will feed it the fish and make it fall in love. Get it to breed with another squid and soon enough: a school of squids!
This would also be useful for squid transportation. We've all tried it, and it rarely works. With breeding and following, you can just swim to the squid's destination.
This also gives fishing another use. Raw fish is pretty forgotten and useless if you ask me.
I think squids shooting ink at you for a kind of a 'blinding' like effect is cool. There was a thread around here somewhere that suggested ink sacs being throwable to produce a blinding effect as well, both seem like cool ideas. I'm not opposed to potions having negative effects, but at the moment it feels like it's just wasted potion effects... Until we get the ability to force potions effects upon others, these negative effect potions are just wasted code. :sad.gif:

Notch is going to add many more ingredients to get all the potion effects. The ink sacs will be a main and side ingredient, so you can make an Inky Potion that gives you a the ink splatter, water breathing, and fire resistance! :biggrin.gif:

I wanna see baby squids! Also, would squids still despawn then?
I can make a model if I can find a Techne squid model...they just have small tentacles. :biggrin.gif:
No, they will not despawn. (Squid Aquariums have been revived!)
Please read the updated first post, as it adds two new squid enhancements. :wink.gif:
Oooohhh, I like it.
I agree, then again I'm a squid hater. I kill them when I see them polluting my lakes and rivers. I like to keep my squids in the ocean. TYVM
If this means squids be persistent than go for it.

Come'n, it's just 2 fish to get 1 squid with tiny tentacles. :wink.gif:
