Glow Squid Spawn Egg
Glow Squid Spawn Egg spawns a bioluminescent Glow Squid in Minecraft — a Creative-only item that fills dark water and aquariums with glowing mobs.
Description
Right-clicking Glow Squid Spawn Egg on or beside water spawns a Glow Squid that emits soft cyan light particles and drops 1-3 glow ink sacs when killed. Players use Glow Squid Spawn Egg to stock aquariums, ocean monuments, and underground cave lakes with glowing mobs instead of waiting for natural spawns in dark water below y=30. The glow ink sacs harvested afterward make sign text glow in the dark and craft glow item frames, turning Glow Squid Spawn Egg into a fast start for a decorative lighting farm.

How to use a Glow Squid Spawn Egg in Minecraft
-
1
Get the egg in Creative
Switch to Creative mode and search 'glow squid' in the inventory, or run /give @s minecraft:glow_squid_spawn_egg to obtain the Glow Squid Spawn Egg.
-
2
Aim at water
Point the crosshair at a water source block or the side of a block next to water, since a Glow Squid only survives while submerged.

3
Right-click to spawn
Use the Glow Squid Spawn Egg to release a Glow Squid that immediately drifts through the water and emits cyan light particles.
-
4
Collect glow ink sacs
Attack the spawned Glow Squid to collect 1-3 glow ink sacs, used for glowing sign text and glow item frames.
In Bedrock Edition the Glow Squid Spawn Egg is also available in the Creative inventory and behaves the same way, though spawn-egg tint and exact spawn conditions differ slightly between editions.
