Thank you for the confirmation FlowerChild. Expanding the water seems to be the solution to my problem.

Re: Can't Find Any Squid

Just wiki'd the spawning reqs for squids: 1 or more blocks of water, any light level, spawning block must be between level 46 and 62, inclusive Yeah I saw that myself as well. My question was whether or not FC had changed the spawning requisites. I made my "squid farm" from approximately ...

Is there a forum rule against indirectly asking FlowerChild whether or not he changed the code so that squids can only spawn in water source blocks? If so then never mind....

Re: Can't Find Any Squid

Your situation sounds very similar to mine. So far I am not having any luck with my 5x5x20 body of water. I think I will try finding a large ocean in my world and try my luck there.

Re: Can't Find Any Squid

From what I've seen squid need about a 8x8x4 area of water (not source blocks just water blocks) to spawn, and can spawn in any biome except mushroom islands. And squids will spawn and despawn similarly to hostile mobs (with different spawning restrictions) Based on that information, would you reco...

Can't Find Any Squid

I have been looking for some squid in order to obtain some ink sacs for quite a while now and have been unable to find any. Most of the water surrounding my base is swampland or in rivers. Any suggestions on how to find them? Also, do squids only spawn when a chunk is loaded for the first time or ca...

Re: Animal pens [Designs for fun, and more knowledge]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I thought that I noticed my mosh-pit of cows consuming a ridiculously high amount of wheat when I spammed the right mouse button. From now on I am definitely going to be throwing items.

Re: Animal pens [Designs for fun, and more knowledge]

This is a dumb question, but if one was to throw a stack of wheat into a pin of twenty or so sheep, would they all eat just one and breed similar to how chickens eat? I usually breed animals by clicking on them and just realized that they can eat the items.

Re: Show us your builds!

Sorry about your world and/or computer. On the other hand, the design looks relatively simple and is not too bad on the eye either. If I ever get around to lighting up my world with torches, I may just have to use some ideas from this. Thanks for the post.

Re: Better With Renewables v0.25 for BTW 4.52 SMP

Ok I will make an attempt at it tonight and if I run into errors I can try and create the server in a windows virtual machine.

On the iron nuggets, that definitely makes sense and I agree with keeping the add on patch-free. Best if luck with finding a solution.

Re: Show us your builds!

I'm not sure I understand what happened. Is the mob trap underground and you just covered it up? If so do you plan on building your base on top of it to maximize the amount of time it's actually producing? Anyway, I'm impressed nonetheless. Nice post.

Thanks a lot FlowerChild. The fact that you are willing to put so much hard work into something for the enjoyment of others is truly a testimony to you as a person. I'm glad that I get to be a part of such a great community that shares an interest in something that I love, and I owe that to you.
