Works as intended. Duplicate of MC-46776

So how do you spectate them? Should squids despawn?

Please reopen. Squids should not disappear.

In MC-46776 :
@unknown:

I've changed it so that mobs will despawn even if everybody is a spectator, to be consistent.

Itouch2 2014-05-01T10:34:09Z

Ok, so we can't spectate mobs anymore?

Spectating mobs in single player is quite pointless since mobs are standing still after player switches to spectator mode.
