About this Mod

GLOW INK EXPANDED

This Minecraft mod expands on Glow Squid mob and its features while staying close to vanilla style and balance.

Features this mod has so far:

GLOW INK BLOCK SET

Every single block added in the mod & their combinations

I've tried to make this block set look great with vanilla prismarine blocks so you can expand on your ocean builds quite well. Also, I've tried to make every texture "link" with eachother if you place them close. No rough edges, no weird bricks that end obruptly.

GLOW SQUID TRADING

Vanilla tropical fish item

Tropical fish item isn't useless anymore. You can feed them to glow squids and in exchange the squid can give you a prize if your fish wasn't poisonous . The prize might be something from the ocean that the squid has found, or a new enchantment book that can be only found by trading with squids.

INKFLARE ENCHANTMENT

Player holds an enchantment book called

This new enchantment comes with 3 levels and is an alternative to Thorns that can only be applied to a chestplate. If you have a chestplate enchanted with Inkflare on your body, the attacker will get glowing effect for a few seconds after each hit. Additionally, with a small chance, the attacker might get blindness for a split second and weakness for a few seconds. The difference between each level in detail:

  • Inkflare I:
    100% Chance - Glowing 1 for 20 ticks
    10% Chance - Blindness 1 for 20 ticks + Weakness 1 for 40 ticks
  • Inkflare II:
    100% Chance - Glowing 1 for 40 ticks
    20% Chance - Blindness 1 for 20 ticks + Weakness 1 for 60 ticks
  • Inkflare III:
    100% Chance - Glowing 1 for 60 ticks
    20% Chance - Blindness 1 for 20 ticks + Weakness 1 for 80 ticks
