You're in creative, floating in the air, playing with the sprites. To your left looms a hill of epic proportions. You grin and float through the air, dropping down on the mountain's peak. You don't see much of anything, so you pause the game and swap your render distance to far..
In the distance, lies a pristine lake surrounded by small trees. In that lake, a squid swims. But this squid, whom we shall name Eidńa, is not content. No, this squid is anything but.
Sensing the beast's emotions, you leap off the mountaintop, feeling the wind brush past your hair. In a matter of seconds, you're beside the lake. It churns and bubbles happily, oblivious of it's sad denizen. You look around the surface, you plunge into the cool waters, you feel it brush your body with a sympathetic sigh, but you find no squid. You arise, dejected. Eidńa despawned. Or did she?
Peer into the sky, above the clouds.
Look.
There she is, flying majestically like an eagle. Piloting a blimp.

Has anyone ever had a similar experience? I haven't, but I can imagine what it's like.

Sadly, Jeb has stolen the magic abilities of our tentacled brethren. Not only can squids no longer fly, they suffocate on land.

This is a petition.

This is a petition to humbly ask on the behalf of every squid:

Can this be undone? Please?

Post here and spread the word if you agree with me. Modders and plugin devs, I as well as you for your skills. If Jeb hears us not, I'd like to employ your many talents.

Instead of screaming. Instead of getting angry. Instead of demanding to see life's manager, I propose this.
Also, don't burn down any houses. With lemons.

It would be a great mod, maybe it could add a discolored squid mob?

To all who haven't seen a flying squid, I grieve for you. You have lost a very important asset of minecraft.

If squids can fly does that mean that ghasts are related to them?

Maybe there should be ghast-squid hybrids.
They can fly but they're small and don't shoot fireballs.
Also they look exactly like normal squids. Basically a flying squid.

I can see it now... the ghuids/squasts floating through the portals that you build, soaring into the air, flying free like eagles!

Or maybe you could sprinkle angel dust all over them to turn them into holy flying squids with halos!

... And a mustache!

Just kidding, I don't care that much. Although I must admit, I've never seen a flying squid before.

Even though the squids dieing on land is realistic, it gets rid of the flying squid. Maybe add a new, rare squid that can fly, thats purple with (maybe) tiny wings.

I say Jeb should put in birds as the next mob, Minecraft already has bats, so with some minor changes to the code, Jeb should make birds. Also, there should be dragons that spawn with the dragon egg (after beating the ender dragon) that you can fly if you put on a saddle.

I know! Squids with wings! The flying squids were a bug, but he should make squids with little wings so they could fly.

Squids are inherently magical. They could fly without the aid of wings. -.-

Honestly, it should be an option in the single-player "Create World" menu, or in the server console menu. That way, you can choose to have it or not.

That would be utterly useless.. Adding an entire option just to add a bug..?

If it was put back in, it wouldn't be a bug.. Just a really weird, pointless, yet utterly awesome feature.

But this one didn't seem to do anything bad.. Unless you dislike flying squids. Besides, it if was 'fixed', it could be done with a different bit of code that gave similar results without the squids phasing through solid blocks.
