I have heard rumors that squid spawners work if they are at y: 63.
Is this true?

(I would rather find out for sure before placing any spawners)

Thanks!

Well I know in ocean biomes they spawn naturally at about 48-55y and you need a pool of water 3 blocks deep or deeper.

 

If you don't have the answer there's no need to post.

 

It's between y:46-62

 

In an ocean biome or when a spawner is placed?

 

Both

 

Thank you.

 

From Minecraft Wiki:

"Squids will spawn in 1 or more blocks of water, no matter whether it's a water source or flowing water. The level of light is not important. However, they will only spawn if their spawning block (the solid block underneath the water) is between Y (vertical) level 46 and 62, inclusive."

You should also keep in mind the spawning area of a spawner, but it looks like you've already been helped, so I'll lock and archive this.
