Describe the bug
Squids do spawn when you first comes across an ocean (in like a 10 chunk radius) but if you head further out in the ocean, you'll never see another one again. Changing the value of restrictSquidsToOceans doesn't seem to affect this.

Tested with:
Forge 2847
P:VJ 1.6.4
Nature's Compass 1.5.1 (just so I could find oceans easily)

The 1.12 version is no longer being developed in favor of the 1.15.1 version
