I think that ink should be obtainable in other ways than just from squids.

I know that charcoal dust is used in place of ink in the mod, but that doesnt seem as real to me. I think that charcoal dust should be used to make ink, instead of being used as ink.

Bottles of Ink would be crafted with charcoal dust and a water bottle in any vanilla crafting grid. This would give you a bottle of ink, which would be used instead of ink sacs. When the ink bottle is used (say in a book & quill or to dye something), it will give you back the empty bottle, like it does when a drink is poisoned.
