Guardians and elder guardians attack squid in the same manner as they would do to a player, even if the squid is affected by Invisibility. Unlike land-based mobs, squid can swim against a current and not get pushed by it.вЂЊ They simply pass through the lava and behave as if on land. Squid cannot swim in lava, even if given a Fire Resistance effect. When out of the water, squid are extremely resistant to knockback. They can take fall damage and burn like any other land mob, but they cannot drown. While on land, they remain stationary until they suffocate.

Squid suffocate when out of water, dying after 300 game ticks (15 seconds). A squid hovers in place when first spawned into the world and wanders around aimlessly in three dimensions. When a squid moves, its tentacles open and close, giving it an appearance of pushing itself leisurely forward. They are not attracted to light and do not deliberately interact with the player. Like other baby mobs, killing a baby squid yields no items or experience. 1вЂ“3 Experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1вЂ“6 with Looting III. there must not be a solid or spawnable block above the spawn location. In addition, squid spawn only on the surface, i.e. In Bedrock Edition, 2 to 4 squids can spawn in ocean biomes, and two squids can spawn in river biomes, at any Y-level (50 to 64вЂЊ ) and squid have a 5% chance to spawn as babies. In Java Edition, 2 to 4 squids can spawn in water from Y-level 46 to 63 (50 to 64вЂЊ ), as long as the biome is a river or ocean variant.
