| June 28, 2010 | Notch mentioned on his blog: "I tried adding corals, but it’s really hard to draw a single block that looks like corals, since it’s really more about crazy amounts of variation and diversity. But I do know that the corals will have tiny fish particles around them." | ||||

An '''ink sac''' is an [[item]] dropped by a [[squid]] upon death used to create [[black dye]], [[dark prismarine]]{{only|BE|short=1}}, and [[Book and Quill|books and quills]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
==== Squid ====
{{see also|Tutorials/Squid farming|title1=Squid farming}}
A [[squid]] drops one to three ink sacs upon death. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1 to 6 with Looting III.
=== Fishing ===
Ink sacs can be obtained as a "junk" item from [[fishing]]. The [[Luck of the Sea]] [[enchantment]] decreases the chance.
=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s sometimes sell 3 ink sacs for an [[emerald]] {{in|bedrock}}. Apprentice level [[Trading#Librarian|librarians]] also buy 5 ink sacs for one [[emerald]].
=== Natural generation ===

== Usage ==

{{IN|bedrock}}, ink sacs can be also used in banner patterns:

=== Dye ===
{{Dye usage}}
* Each type of [[Prismarine#Dark Prismarine|dark prismarine]] can be crafted using varying amounts of 8 [[Prismarine Shard#prismarine shards|prismarine shards]].
=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level librarian [[villager]]s have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy five ink sacs for an [[emerald]]. They always offer the trade {{in|bedrock|lc=}}.
=== Signs ===
Ink sacs can be applied to [[sign]]s or [[hanging sign]]s to revert glowing text back to default.
