The Allay would also be useful for Tunnel Bores since they can automatically go out and collect any valuable ores by themselves.

Having built a crystal farm, the Allays certainly make the process much more simple and entertaining.

I think the addition of Allays to farms designs with loss is also a great use for them. They can make any farm loss-less. If you use them in tandem with other methods of item transportation, you can ensure all items get collected.
Allays can also be used in Nether farms to completely remove the need for any complicated piston and slime system.

I'm really excited about the allay. I don't enjoy building large automated farms. I do a lot of manual harvesting of stuff, but I'm always having to go back and pick up the bits I missed. Setting up a collection point near my farms and just letting them pick things up sounds amazing to me.

[MrLinkDay]

I mean, they can be used in farms that are already common in the game as well, it's more practical and needs less space to have one allay other than having a lot of hoppers or water streams. And it is less laggy as well.

[mightybear_]

I plan to use them on my exploration. Sometimes when mining on an edge, its easy for the item to just fall off, and then I would have to go manually down into the ravine/cave. Allays can cut down that work by reaching that item!

[cubicmetre]

I actually tried using dolphins for item collection in an amethyst farm once, but the issue is that dolphins really like to kill themselves because if they stay in water for too long, they drown, and if they stay out of water for too long, they also drown. So basically dolphins are very hard to use in general unless you immobilise them completely. It seems like the Allay works much better in this case.

[aarongrooves]

Would love to see this experiment with only one Allay! Would that be sufficient for harvesting a geode? I can't imagine having an army of 5 or 6 in survival. I mean, some people will, but I definitely won't lol

[rmdcade]

This might be a video about the Allay, but Xisuma's sneakily showing off some new behavior in another passive mob. Cow stomps Xisuma into the dirt at 2:32 so hard that it knocks him into spectator mode. Will cows become hostile mobs in 1.19?

[anewcryptid]

this is very interesting, it's really changed my perspective on the allays usefulness

[Tuclix]

You can make the amethyst farm much more simple if you use only one piston per budding amethyst. Use a cross made of slime blocks with blocks sticking out in from each of the cross's, ,arms'' . The piston then pushes the whole thing over the budding block, basically incasing it between the four sticking out blocks. That way you harvest 5/6 sides of a budding amethyst while only having to power one piston. Yes. It requires more space, but you don't have bring redstone signal to each end every amethyst cluster.

[mihail_mihaylov]

I think allays would also be great at picking up samplings in tree farms!

[Valgornify]

Nice seeing the allay working out in a redstone farm, from everything youve shown so far they seemed to be leaning towards more aesthetic farms for that whimsical feel. Or farms were hyper efficiency isnt wanted or needed since those other collection systems exist already. Which I suppose isnt the best use with how rare it might be to find them in the early game before youve got enough iron for hoppers and such. Would be neat if there was a chance to find roaming allay or two in flower biomes as well, just incase you get really unlucky and don have a pillager outpost/woodland mansion nearby.

[papalovegood]

I see how this is nice, but I do think the best way to use it would be with piglin bartering. They give a lot of unstackable items and you can't make water stream sorters unless you portal the items to the overworld. Perfect for the allay!

[Aktzin]

The allay is going to finally convince me to build more semi-automated farms. I'm not really a fan of being sophisticated with redstone or placing a million hoppers, so having something that can automatically pick everything up is a win in my book. I can see this creating a bunch of alternatives to farms that already exist, using less materials and simplifying the process.

[another_jt]

I still think one of the better uses of the allay is those farms where it's not practical to use water or hopper minecarts to collect drops. The best I can think of is a bamboo farm where a flying machine or pistons break the bamboo, but it could land on the remaining stalks. Also, it could be a replacement for hopper minecart selections, like in a villager-based wheat farm where villagers just leave the wheat on the ground

[rufusjasko]

Using skulk sensors potentially could make it easier to power all the pistons as they don't need direct connection lines, although that could also cause problems in itself.

[sheeni]

I think that the allay was always meant to be used like this, not as a replacement for water streams or hopper mine carts, but to be used when you can’t use the other methods. And you’ve demonstrated this wonderfully :D

[Chris.Batchelor]

I was hoping I could use them when strip mining or digging out a huge hole and that they would be able to pick up the items around me. Strip mining seems like a no go with how they function, but digging out a huge area seems perfect for them to just pick up any excess blocks you don’t want to go to waste.

[sanovictus]

I think that to simplify geode harvesting, Mojang should cause nearby skulk shriekers to shatter the amethyst crystals when activated. Fixes the issue of how annoying it is to set up a farm for them. Combine that with the allay, and farming geodes will be so much easier!
