Allay is most likely going to be a passive mob because of how helpful it will be for the player. When a player gives an item to Allay, it will wander off and search for the same or similar things.

Allay will then find those items and bring them to the player. However, Allay will not clone items, and it will most likely return empty-handed if there are no matching items in its range.

Allay – User Choice New Mob in Minecraft 19

Finally, the last confirmed new mob for Minecraft 1.19 is the Allay. This cute creature is the result of user choice mob votes held in 2021. Players chose it over the baby golem, which players like myself still miss. Though, unlike most mobs in the game, the Allay’s function is mostly player-based. It picks up dropped items and collects copies of that item from the loaded chunks of your world.

At most, it can carry a full stack of items, which are usually 64 items. However, Allay isn’t allowed to steal items from players’ chests. Allay, at its movements might suggest, loves music. So, it drops its collected items only next to a note block or a player. We have a dedicated guide to help you understand everything you need to know about Allay in Minecraft. Also, if you wish to find the Allay ahead of its official release, we have a tutorial on how to get Allay in Minecraft beta.

Here’s the quick details on the Allay:

Can you tame the Allay? Sort of! It will follow you around if youve given it an item.

Can you breed the Allay? Also sort of; they can be duplicated with amethyst.

Is the Allay hostile? Nope, and they can be damaged by enemies but not their owner.

How much does an Allay hold? Allay has one inventory slot, so up to a stack of any item.

How far will an allay search for items? A radius of 32 blocks around the player.
