How to tame an allay? Following the 2021 Minecraft mob vote, the newest addition to the game was decided to be the Allay. Allays look very much like little fairies and are not based on any real animals. They fly in the air and share a striking resemblance to the hostile vex mobs summoned by Evokers in Woodland Mansions.

Allays are not all just for looks, even though they are adorable and reminiscent of Navi from Legend of Zelda. They actually do have quite a bit of utility to them, which can help players greatly on their Minecraft journey. Here’s what to know about the Allays, and how they can be found, tamed, and made use of.

Allays: An Overview

Allays are unique in that they are a rather small flying mob that is passive. Where they really stand out, aside from their fantasy fairy-like appearance, is their ability to deliver and move items around for players that give it one. They also have a fondness for Note Blocks and jukeboxes, which will be elaborated on later.

In a sense, Allays are a sort of floating assistant when it comes to items. Their neon, light blue texture allows them to stand out in the dark, though this is not strong enough to light up their surroundings.

Where To Find Allays

Allays are mobs that are often imprisoned by Illagers. As such, to find them and rescue them, players will need to either head over to a Pillager Outpost or to a Woodland Mansion.

At a Pillager Outpost, look for a cage outside the main tower. There can be multiple Allays here that can be interacted with. There may be one to three in each cage at any given time, and they spawn at a 50 percent chance.

How To Tame Allays

Allays cannot technically be tamed like dogs or cats, but there are ways to ensure that an Allay will always return and follow the player in question.

After players have found an Allay, they should hold any item they wish to receive and give it to the Allay by interacting with it.

The Allay will then look around and gather the exact same item and deliver it to the player.

These items need to be dropped, making them great for large farms that rely on transporting dropped items.

Players can also have Allays search for any missing items they may have misplaced in their world.

An Allay will follow the player that last offered it an item, which essentially is how these Minecraft creatures are tamed.

If the item is removed from the Allay by interacting with it again with an empty hand, the Allay will no longer follow them.

More On Allays And What They’re Used For

Only the sky is the limit when it comes to the utility Allays bring to players. As mentioned, they can be great at finding misplaced dropped items on the ground. They have quite a large radius of 64 blocks when it comes to honing in on a player and can seek items from a distance reaching up to 32 blocks away.

While there are some limitations (it needs to be a dropped item, and they are unable to go underwater), this can be a good advantage to a player.

Moreover, Allays make great friends at farms. They can transport dropped items from farms where crops are dropped. Not just that, Allays will also deliver items to any activated noteblock in the game, so players can for example place a hopper next to a noteblock, and the Allays will deliver any dropped item around the active noteblock to it, as seen in xisumavoid’s video.

Exclusive to the Bedrock Edition, Allays can teleport through a Nether portal. It can teleport through the End portal too, but only if players give it an item beforehand, and must be close to the player while teleporting.

Where to Find an Allay in Minecraft

Allays naturally spawn in two illager structures. They are kept as prisoners in cages outside pillager outposts and inside jail cells within woodland mansions. You have a 50% chance to find one to three allays in any cell or cage. Feel free to check out our guide on where exactly you can find an Allay for more details.

How to Tame an Allay in Minecraft

Technically speaking, you can’t tame an Allay in Minecraft. But if you want this mob to follow you around just like tamed mobs, you have to hand Allay an item. You can use any common item like a button or even rare items like a diamond to get the job done.

However, when you take the item back from the Allay, it will fly away and stop following you. Alternatively, you can also use a lead on Allay to prevent it from running away even when it’s not holding an item. You can also choose to swap out and hand Allay another item to keep it around.

Items You Need to Breed or Duplicate an Allay

With the usefulness of the Allay established, check out the list of items you need to duplicate an Allay in the game:

• 1 Allay
• 1 Amethyst Shard
• 1 Jukebox
• Any music disc

You can get amethyst shards by breaking an amethyst cluster block found growing on budding amethyst in the spherical feature – geode – generated underground. Use any tool or yuour hands to break the clusters. Minecraft enchantment Fortune will yield up to 16 shards per cluster. You may also find this item in the chests located in the ancient cities.

The Jukebox is a craftable block that requires 8 wooden planks (of any wood type) and one diamond. Feel free to follow the recipe in the crafting table shown in the image below. Also, we have already shared the best diamond level in Minecraft to head on out and mine some to use in this recipe.

How to Use Allays in Minecraft

In yoyour blocky world, you can use an Allay in the following ways:

• Every Allay in the game can be connected to note blocks. So, you can use Allay to replace hoppers or water streams in your item collection systems.
• Most storage systems fail when you use them with a moving Redstone machine. Only the Allays can keep up.
• At the moment, there is no way to sort non-stackable items in Minecraft other than using multiple Allays.
• In sculk XP farms or other regular farms, the Allay can quickly collect targeted items when a mob dies.
• Lastly, Allay is also an aesthetic addition to the game. So, having it around your Minecraft house can cheer up the atmosphere.
