Ok tried something in a testing world... It seems it only works in a River biome. Is this intended behavior??
Basically it seems it only works where Squid naturally spawn in River or Ocean biomes between [Y-level] 50 to 63.

Is there any update on this bug? Trying to build a auto-farm to make all the dyes and this bug is preventing me getting black dye.

This mod does not alter the "spawning rules" of mobs, meaning it will use vanilla rules to spawn mobs. For example, you can only spawn pigs and cows when a grass block is nearby.

Altering the spawning rules is a suggested feature for the mod, but not implemented as of yet.

Thanks for the update on this! It would be great if there was a config rule that bypasses vanilla spawning rules. I don't think it should be the default but an available option. Or maybe a toggle in the actual spawner config window that you could turn off spawning rules?
