Obtaining[]

Mob loot[]

Glow squids drop 1–3 glow ink sacs upon death. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–6 with Looting III.

Compound creation[]

A glow ink sac can be created from its base elements, using the compound creator.‌[Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education only]

Glow Item Frame	Glow Ink Sac +Item Frame

Signs[]

Glow ink sacs can be used on signs or hanging signs to make their text brighter in low light levels. This also adds an outline around the text on the sign, the color of which is based on the color of the sign's text. The text does not emit any light; it is only more visible in darkness, similarly to the eyes of spiders and endermen. Normal ink sacs can be applied to revert glowing text back to its default appearance.
