Where to Find Glow Squid in Minecraft (& What They’re For)

The Glow Squid is a new mob available in Minecraft. Minecraft continues to add new enemies and mobs for players to interact with, including animals on the surface and sea creatures down below. Typically, killing animals results in valuable crafting materials for the player to use. The Glow Squid won the Minecraft Live 2020 Mob Vote and was brought over from Minecraft Earth. Now, it is available in the main game.

Glow Squids act similar to normal Squids but emit a small glow. The texture pack the player has active will determine how vibrant the glow is. It might be difficult to locate them if players don’t know where to look. Fortunately, this guide will show players the best ways to encounter the Glow Squid in Minecraft.

Where To Find The Glow Squid (& What They Do) in Minecraft

Players will have the chance to encounter Glow Squid in Minecraft deep underwater. The Y-axis will need to be around 63 before players will reach them, and they spawn in total darkness. Fortunately, it is much easier to find them because of their glow. They typically spawn slightly above the bottom of the ocean. They also swim in groups of two to four, making it easier to encounter more than one at a time. Glow Squids are typically passive toward players

Glow Squids will drop Glow Ink Sacs, which can be used to create a Glow Item Frame. Like regular Frames, a Glow Item Frame allows players to display their favorite weapons and items in their home. However, unlike typical Frames, the Glow Item Frame will sparkle in the dark, making it more eye-catching. Glow Ink Sacs can also be used on signs to make the text stand out and glow slightly.

Minecraft is a game that won’t be going away anytime soon. It continues to receive new content and remains one of the highest-selling video games of all time. It sparks creativity and is used as an educational tool. Players have also been able to adapt the game further by introducing new mods. Glow Squids are just a small addition to what other content will emerge in the future, including the second half of the Caves and Cliffs update. It’s always exciting to see what Mojang will come up with next.

Minecraft is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile.
