How to make Squids spawn in Superflat worlds
Screenshots will come tomorrow!

Squids need water to spawn. Water can be found on the Wheat farms in NPC villages and can be collected with Buckets, which first have to be crafted with Iron Ingots found in chests or collected from killed Iron Golems and/or Zombies. Not quite a big job. But Squids will only spawn if that water is located between Layer 45 and 62, and the ground level of Superflat worlds is Layer 4. So you'll have to get the water up there. First, build a stairway up to somewhere between Layer 45 (shown as y=46.62 on the F3 screen) and 56 (shown as y=57.62 on the F3 screen). When you're there, make a 1 block high platform at the same level of the top stair of your stairway. It can be of any size of 4x4 and above, but I'd recommend 9x9 to give the Squids enough space to spawn and not waste too many blocks. Build a 6 block high wall at the edges of the platform to make a "basin", and make sure to extend the stairway or place some ladders so you can walk on the top of the walls. Now completely fill the "basin" with water. Make an infinite water source near the "basin" if you don't want to climb up and down all the time. When you've finished, leave the area and wait. Go up now and then to see if any Squids spawned. Have patience, as it might take some time. When the first Squids spawned, you can start your Ink Sac farm. ;-)
