Where Does Allay Spawn in Minecraft
In Minecraft, the only way to find an Allay is by looking in cages of pillager outposts and the woodland mansions. Both are hostile structures that generate in the overworld, but the latter is rarer and usually has a higher number of Allays. So, if you want to get an Allay quickly, looking for pillager outposts is the easiest option.
Pillager outposts are common Illager structures in the game that mostly spawn on and around mountains. You can also find them in the desert biome from time to time. They are the home of hostile mob Pillagers that, as per the game’s lore, are enemies of Minecraft villagers.
But these tower-like outposts don’t spawn by themselves. Instead, they are almost always surrounded by a few wooden cages. There’s a 50% chance of you either finding an Allay or an Iron Golem within these cages. You can find up to three Allay in a single cage. At times, the cages can be empty as well. Unlike other cages, the difference in an Allay cage is that it’s covered from the top. Once you find it, you can easily break it to free the Allay.
As the name reveals, woodland mansions are mansion-like structures with multiple floors and a lot of rooms. Within these rooms is a cage room that has multiple Allays trapped inside. You can find almost a dozen Allays that spawn in a cage room, and there can be up to two such rooms in one mansion.
But, as you might expect, the mansions are much more dangerous than the outposts. There are powerful mobs on each of its floors, so you have to deal with them while freeing Allays. However, the additional loot in mansions is worth the extra effort.
Allays never spawn in the open in the Minecraft world. You can only find them inside the above-described cage rooms. So, you should focus on the biomes that spawn with these structures.
In terms of Minecraft biomes, you can find a pillager outpost in:
Meanwhile, a woodland mansion can only spawn in the dark forest biome.
Once you have found the cage, getting Allay to follow you is simple. As long as you give an item to the Allay, it will follow you indefinitely. The item can be anything from common blocks to the rarest Minecraft ores. You just have to be quick about it, or else the Allay will freely fly into the open world.
In order to get an Allay to follow you, you have to look at it while holding an item. Then you need to right-click or use the secondary action key to hand the item to the Allay. After that, unless there are copies of that item dropped nearby, the Allay will hold the item and follow you around.
The Allay has a variety of uses in the game, and some of the common ones include:
