Ink Sac
minecraft:ink_sacThe ink sac is a common item dropped by squids and used mainly as the source of black dye, letting players tint wool, leather armor, beds, glass, terracotta, and other dyeable blocks. It can also be combined with a feather and a book to craft a book and quill, and mixed with prismarine shards to produce dark prismarine.
FAQ
How do I get an ink sac?
Kill a squid — it drops 1-3 ink sacs, or up to 6 with a Looting III weapon. There is also a rare 1/1000 chance of catching one while fishing with an unenchanted rod, and in Bedrock Edition strongholds can generate them in storeroom chests.
What is an ink sac used for?
Its main use is crafting black dye, which can then color wool, leather armor, beds, glass, terracotta, and several other dyeable blocks and items.
Can I craft anything directly with an ink sac?
Yes — combining an ink sac with a book and a feather crafts a book and quill, and combining it with prismarine shards produces dark prismarine.
Is the ink sac a renewable resource?
Yes, squids continue to spawn and can be farmed in water, making ink sacs a fully renewable source of black dye.
