Minecraft Allay mobs are the perfect player sidekicks. These cute, floating creatures can collect blocks for you, making it much easier to properly sweep an area and make sure ꦓyou don't leave any resources be🤡hind. On top of that, the Minecraft Allays will do a little dance whenever they hear music - what more could you want from a Minecraft pet?

If you🐼 can't wait to adopt a cuddly caddy of your own, he🦩re's how to find and breed Allays in Minecraft.

How to find the Minecraft Allay mobs and spawns

The Minecraft Allay mobs are found in two locations since their introduction in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft The Wild Update: in dark oak cages around Pillager Outposts, and in the jail cells found in Woodland Mansions (such as the one seen above). They appear in groups of 1-3 in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft. though you can find muౠlti🥃ple groups in one location - i.e., multiple jail cells and oak cages in the same area, each with a freshly baked batch of Allays inside. They tend to glow, so should be very easy to notice during nighttime hours (though they don't light up the surroundings like a torch).

To easily find a Woodland Mansion full of Allays, you can use our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Minecraft seeds. The Allays won't be aggressi♌ve and can be approached safely. Until properly interacted with, they will generally float about in no partꦕicular direction and pay the player no mind.

Minecraft Allay uses

Allays in Minecraft are strange item collectors/carrier🃏s, and the🌼ir behaviour is as follows:

  • When interacted with, the player gives the Allay whatever they're holding. The Allay then floats about nearby the player, looking for other, dropped versions of that item and presenting them to the player when found. So, if you were to give it some 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft diamonds, the Allay will scan the area for more diamonds and bring them to you.
  • If the player interacts with an Allay empty-handed, they take back the item that was given originally, and the Allay goes back to passive indifference.
  • Allays do not attack and their owners cannot harm them. If another player or entity hurts them (assuming they aren't killed), the Allay flies about in a panic for a short time. If killed, they drop everything they're holding.
  • Note blocks, when played, cause nearby Allays to come over and dance. 
  • Leads and Name Tags can be used on Allays. 

The Minecraft Allay can pick up non-stackable items as well, and it has b🥃een suggested you💯 may be able to use this Mob for sorting if you build an appropriate setup. The Allay drops off the items it has gathered once it's in range of a note block, so you can use one of those to determine where your collection should be deposited.

Apart from their usefulness, keep some colourful Allays is also a great way to liven up the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Minecraft houses.

How to breed and duplicate Allays

Breeding and/or duplicating Allay is not unlike breeding other friendly mobs, such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft foxes. However, it requires 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft Amethyst Shards, gathered by breaking Amethyst Clusters. If you give an Amethyst Shard to an Allay while it's dancing, it will ma🎶ke a noise, produce some hearts, and dup📖licate into a second Allay, splitting like an amoeba. You then have to wait five minutes before either of them can be duplicated again.
