Overview

Squickens are a cross between chickens and squid. I added this to the old baby animals mod as a sort of joke so that you could have a pet squid that followed you around. I ended up liking them quite a bit. Maybe I'm alone in that sentiment. Anyway, they do not spawn naturally so they can't take over your world. Once you have created two adult squickens you can breed them using raw fish, their favorite food. The adults will give you an ink sac once in awhile the same way chickens drop eggs. Otherwise they behave like chickens and can be lassoed/farmed like the rest of the animals.

Squickens don't spawn naturally.


History

Originally the Squickens first appeared as part of the Baby Animals mod from MCb15_01 but were eventually taken out before MC125 as the mod dev thought they did not really fit into the theme of Baby Animals. They re-appeared as a stand-alone mod for MC164 which was the last time they were included by the original mod dev, cocoavalley. The Squickens were continued as a stand-alone mod by SteveKunG for MC1.7 and 1.8.

Note from cocovalley

Until further notice, I will no longer be updating these mods. A lot has changed in the past year ... Perhaps one day if/when the fabled official API is released I will be able to revive these projects in a more sustainable way. Until then, however, there will be no more official updates. I'm glad so many, many, people have enjoyed them :) I'm leaving links to the very latest source javas. Squickens files are from 1.6.4 but probably don't need much changing. The model swapper files are not standalone, they are core class modifications. There are some fancy things in the unofficial APIs that can probably be used to insert the code at runtime and make the model swapper more compatible. Someone who knows what they are doing should able to very easily get them working in any version, and probably better than I ever could. ― cocoavalley
