When the 2021 Minecraft mob vote came, the game added this new feature: the Allays. What are Allays, and how can you use them to your best advantage? Let’s find out in this edition of PVP Live.
What Are Allays In ‘Minecraft’?
Story-wise, Allays are tiny fairies in “Minecraft.” They will remind you of Navi in “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,” who looks like a blue Snitch (based on “Harry Potter”). But Allays don’t look precisely like Navi or the Snitch as it carries the design of every other character in “Minecraft.”
Allays fly in the area and are more proximate in appearance to the villainous vex mobs Evokers summon in Woodland Mansions.
But Allays are more than just looks and flying creatures. They are of good use, specifically helping you throughout your Minecraft journey.
Allays may be flying, but they’re generally passive. They can move around and deliver items for players like you. They’re interested in Note Blocks and jukeboxes.
In other words, Allays are your floating assistants. You can’t cast Harry Potter spells like Accio in “Minecraft,” so your best bet is to get Allays by your side. Their neon, light blue texture makes them stand out in the dark.
Where Can You Find Allays In ‘Minecraft’?
Unlike other Mobs in “Minecraft,” there are just two spots where Allays spawn, so don’t overthink: the Pillager Outposts and the Woodland Mansions.
The first are towering structures filled with warriors wielding crossbows. Allays here can spawn in several biomes.
Meanwhile, Woodland Mansions are great places to find Allays, but the flying creatures here spawn rarely. Often, you will just see them in dark forests.
Some Mansions have cells inside, which a Vindicator usually locks and guards. Most cells are empty, but there will always be a chance that you’ll find some Allays locked inside.
How To Catch Allays
The moment you see trapped Allays, go ahead and break into the cell bars to free the creatures. The only way to have them follow you is when you give them an item to look for, so do so, then lead them to a safe hideout.
How To Tame And Use Allays In ‘Minecraft’
You’ve read the preview on this in the previous section. To tame Allays, you must hand them an item. For instance, this could be as simple as a button or as rare as a diamond.
But remember, when you take the item back from them, they will just fly away and stop following you. This isn’t what you’ll want.
Alternatively, if you don’t want that option of giving them an item, you may also use a lead on Allay so they won’t run away, even if they’re not working on an item. Conversely, you may also swap out and hand them another item.
Allays are some of the newest Mobs in “Minecraft.” It’s fantastic to have them around. Windows, Xbox, Amazon, Linux, Xbox, and Samsung Gear VR are some of the platforms and consoles where you can play “Minecraft.”
