How To Summon A Glow Squid Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a glow squid with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

You can summon a glow squid whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.

Let’s explore how to do this.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), the syntax to summon a glow squid using the /summon command is:

/summon glow_squid [pos] [nbt]

Definitions

• pos is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the glow squid should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the glow squid will spawn in the current location.
• nbt is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the glow squid such as {CustomName:”\”Luminescent\””} or {Health:10.0f}.

Examples

Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac)

To summon a glow squid in Minecraft Java Edition:

/summon glow_squid

To summon a glow squid that is named Luminescent:

/summon glow_squid ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Luminescent\""}

How to Enter the Command

1. Open the Chat Window

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button  at the top of the screen.
• For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
• For PS4, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button  on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
• For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon a glow squid in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20 with the following command:

/summon glow_squid

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, the glow squid will spawn and appear in your world:

You will see the message “Summoned new Glow Squid” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the glow squid has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.

Congratulations, you have summoned a glow squid in Minecraft.
