The Minecraft 1.19 update brought several new exciting features to the game, including the mangrove swamps, Ancient City with Warden, frogs, and more. Though, nothing captivated the community as much as the addition of Allay in Minecraft 1.19. This cute friendly mob is quickly becoming the most reliable friend to have in-game. However, until recently (even in the official release), there was no easy way to get more Allays other than exploring and finding them in the world. But now, you can duplicate Allay in Minecraft to get hundreds of this adorable mob in no time. Having said that, let’s dive in and learn how to breed Allay in Minecraft right away!

Allay’s breeding process is different from any in-game mob. So, we first need to collect and craft some rare items, and only then will we be able to breed the Allay in Minecraft. But if you are in the creative mode or have enough resources, use the table below to directly skip to the duplication process.

What Is an Allay in Minecraft

In case you haven’t met the Allay yet, it is a small passive mob in Minecraft that spawns in pillager cages. Once freed, the Allay flies around until a player hands it an item.

  • Every Allay in the game can be connected to note blocks. So, you can use Allay to replace hoppers and water in Minecraft’s item collection systems.Most storage systems fail when you use them with a moving Redstone machine. Only the Allays can keep up.At the moment, there is no way to sort non-stackable items in Minecraft other than using multiple Allays.In sculk XP farms or other regular farms, the Allay can quickly collect targeted items when a mob dies.Lastly, Allay is also an aesthetic addition to the game, and as you will see later, it even dances to music in-game. So, having it around your Minecraft house can cheer up the atmosphere.

How to Tame an Allay in Minecraft

Technically speaking, you can’t tame an Allay in Minecraft. But if you want this mob to follow you around just like tamed mobs, you have to hand Allay an item. You can use any common item like a button or even rare items like a diamond to get the job done.

With the usefulness of the Allay established, check out the list of items you need to breed or duplicate an Allay in Minecraft:

You can use our guide to find Allay in Minecraft to know the biomes and structures they spawn in. Don’t forget to hand the Allay a random item so that it keeps following you around. Alternatively, you can also tie a lead around Allay’s neck. Now, let’s learn how to get the rest of the items on this list.

You can get an Amethyst Shard in Minecraft using the following ways:

  • Looting chests in the Ancient CityBreaking an Amethyst cluster with any tool

If you want to explore the chests in Ancient cities, use our best Ancient city seeds to find one in no time. Meanwhile, if you want to mine an Amethyst cluster, you first need to find an Amethyst geode. It is a shell-like terrain feature of the overworld that generates underground between world heights of Y=30 & Y=-64.

Crafting a jukebox in Minecraft is easy. You need to put together 8 wooden planks and a diamond on the crafting table using the recipe above. The wooden planks don’t even have to be of the same wood (as we have shown in the screenshot). And you can use our guide to find diamonds in Minecraft in your world in no time.

Allay is a fan of music discs and doesn’t care which one you are playing. It only wants to dance. So, try to find any music disc in-game to get the job done. Minecraft has 15 music discs, and you can find them in the following locations:

At times, a creeper also drops music discs if it is killed by a skeleton or stray. But looking for chests with music discs is a much more reliable method. You can use any of these discs to breed or duplicate an Allay in Minecraft.

How to Duplicate Allay in Minecraft

The breeding process for Allays consists of two parts: dancing and duplication. Let’s go over each of them separately to breed our Allay in Minecraft.

Thanks to their connection with note blocks, it’s no secret that Allays loves music. This remains true even when we try to make copies of the Allay. So, to begin its duplication process, you have to bring an Allay close to a jukebox and play a music disc. As soon as the Allay hears music, it starts dancing around the jukebox until the music stops.

The Allay sways left and right and spins around to the beats of the music, as shown in the GIF above. This dancing mechanic only activates if the Allay is within a 10-block radius of the jukebox.

Once the Allay starts dancing, it won’t get away from you, even if it’s not holding an item or isn’t tied with a lead. So, you can let it fly about and dance freely. Then, give an amethyst shard to your dancing Allay.

If you give the amethyst shard to a non-dancing Allay, it just holds the item and tries to look for its copies. So, you must hand the shard to Allay before the music stops. Then once the new Allay spawns, you can give both of them random items to hold, and they will not fly away even when the music stops.

What is the difference between duplication and breeding?

You need to give an item to the Allay and its duplicate to immediately make them follow you around.
