Agrarian Skies: Need help getting ink sacks
- Thread starter redgamemaster
- Start date
9 arrows in a crafting grid gets you a spawn chicken egg. Spawn a chicken, collect the eggs it lays. 8 fishing rods around an egg gets you a spawn squid egg. Done.
Or just create a large pond area. Shouldn't take much before you are overrun by squid.

Spawning Mechanics
Squids will spawn in 1 or more blocks of water, no matter whether it's a water source or flowing water. The level of light is not important. However, they will only spawn if their spawning block (the solid block underneath the water) is between Y (vertical) level 46 and 62, inclusive. To have a better spawn rate in your farm you have to eliminate water blocks between 46 and 62 layers in a large area around, or build it artificially in a desert or any place without superficial water in a large area.

If you do decide to make the spawn eggs and stick them in a tank above these Y levels, you could always incorporate a MinefactoryReloaded rancher in your design which, when powered, milks the squid for its ink sacs.
