About this Mod
Welcome
Rocket Squids introduces blundering, balletic megamolluscs for your amusement.
Rocket Squids are squids' bigger, fire-breathing counterparts, which have a tendency to blast into the air at random. They have some fairly complex behaviour and secret interactions. You are encouraged to explore and discover these for yourself, but if you just want to know things, the wiki provides information in sections of increasing explicitness. The aim is to build more interactions into the mod over time.
For a spoiler-free taster of the mod HelldogMadness has provided this video:

For Pack Developers
Feel free to include Rocket Squids in your modpack and let me know your success stories!
Rocket Squids has world generation that places conches and statues in the world; without these the mod loses a lot of its entertainment value.
