Glow Squid in Minecraft is a one-of-a-kind mob. They resemble typical squids in appearance. They glow and drop various goodies. Glow squids are far more recent than conventional squids, having been added with the Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update.

Where do Glow Squid Spawn in Minecraft?

In Minecraft 1.17, the spawning site for Glow Squids was deep water below sea level (Y63). Glow Squids’ spawn position has been altered in Minecraft 1.18. They will no longer breed beneath the water level (Y30). Aside from that, their biome hasn’t changed. They are typically found in classes of two to four students.

They appear to be glowing, yet they have no effect on the light levels in the surrounding region because they do not emit light. If glow squids and axolotls spawn in the same region, the latter has an advantage in fighting because axolotls can attack glow squids but not vice versa. In addition, the baby versions of glow squids have a 5% chance of spawning and are only available in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Glow squids, like other animals in Minecraft, will drop an item when killed. This mob can drop up to 3 glow ink sacs for players.
