Allay Spawn Egg
Allay Spawn Egg is a Creative-only item that summons a blue Allay, the friendly flying mob that collects items and brings duplicates back to you.
Description
When you use the Allay Spawn Egg on a block face, it spawns a passive Allay that immediately starts following you. Hand the Allay any item and it will fly out to collect matching dropped items, then bring the duplicates back to you or to the nearest note block that recently played a sound. Allay Spawn Egg is the fastest way for builders and redstone engineers to test item-sorting contraptions, since releasing a real Allay from a pillager outpost or woodland mansion cage takes far longer. Allays love amethyst and can be duplicated by handing an Amethyst Shard to one dancing beside a jukebox.
