Ranold's Better Squids
This mod changes squids from being one of the stupidest mobs in Minecraft to a mob with somehwat interesting mechanics!
So far all it does is make squids give you blindness for a different amount of time depending on difficulty. None in Peaceful, 3 seconds in Easy, 5 in Normal, and 8 in Hard. We call that Balancing!
Much more will be coming, including changes to glow squids! (Hypnotising like in the mob vote)
