How to Find, Tame and Use Allays in Minecraft 1.20

1.19 the wild update is adding alleys into minecraft in this video learn how to find tame and use these adorable new pets so how do you actually find an alley in minecraft 1.19 well you want to go to either a woodland mansion or a pillager outpost but i

Would say that a woodland mansion is probably the best place to find this new alley mob alleys only generate in with a structure they can’t actually spawn anywhere naturally but let’s go find where they are in the woodland mansion without getting killed by this vindicator so in woodland mansions they

Generate in the existing prison structure now just looking at this i do think they’ve updated this a bit i don’t remember there being the bars here or the andesite and in every single jail cell there’s a chance for one to three la’s so there’ll be at least one la and

Every one but let’s say in this one it looks like there are three whereas if we go over to this one here there may only be this one has three as well but let’s say this one over here may only have two yeah it looks like there’s only two in here actually

There’s a third in there as well we got very lucky with this one and this one here just has one alley so there’s definitely some differences now be aware once you’ve opened this up the alleys will definitely start to escape and they are not a hostile mob although neither are they necessarily

Automatically tamed to you but thankfully this is the easiest mob to tame but either way if you find a woodland mansion there is a large amount of alleys here and just considering that there’s oftentimes multiple jails in each woodland mansion you could find 25 plus alleys in every one which i really

Like as it kind of gives the woodland mansion some purpose again it really makes it a much more desirable structure to raid so the other place you’ll find the alley is at the pillager outpost as you can see right here they’re trapped in these cages now sometimes there’s

Even an iron golem in these cages but you can see here these cages now generate with one to three alleys in them and also at the top of them you can see that that is covered up there so if we go over here you’ll notice this one

Has two alleys as well and they can’t escape out of this so we basically have to break this open to get them out whereas of course in the pillager outpost jail there was the door we could just open and so these are the two ways you find alleys in minecraft 1.19 just

Be aware in both of them of course there’s a lot of the hostile pillagers so you’ve now rescued some malays from a prison built by the pillagers or from the pillager outpost how do you tame these all you have to do is grab out any

Item it could be a torch an emerald a stick a wooden plank whatever you want and go up to the alley and right click on them now that la is tamed to you and basically what’ll happen is once you’ve given it an item it will just follow you around so for instance we’re

Going to run over here and they’re actually quite quick so you don’t have to worry too much about them losing you and you can see that alley is chasing me compared to the other ones that are just sitting over there now this alley will follow you within 64 blocks so if we

Went really really far away it wouldn’t follow me but since it consistently moves to go after you there’s not too much of a worry of this also you definitely know this alley is tamed too as it will not follow any other players will it has your item as well as that if

You try and punch it it is not able to be done you can try as much as you like and it’s actually cool this is in the game because there’s a lot of other mobs like your cats your dogs you technically could kill unfortunately but with the

Alley you cannot hurt it while it is tamed to you and if you need to for any reason you can just right click on it with the lead and thankfully allies are lead-able mobs so you can bring that around that it almost looks a little bit like a balloon since it usually floats

Above you but either way that’s another way that you can move around this mob especially if it’s tamed to you but let’s say you want it to not be tamed to you could still move around this way but it is certainly not necessary as they are very good at following you around

Although it doesn’t seem like they’ll try and actively go underwater if you’re there so you’ve found an alley you’ve tamed an alley but how do you use an alley well basically whatever item you’ve given it it will try and find more of those around the world for instance this

Alley here has a jungle log in its hand now unfortunately this does not mean that it can just break any jungle log and grab that however if we break the jungle log and that item is now there you’ll notice these alleys will try and come and get it and whatever one

Successfully did will come back and throw the item to me and you will get the you’ve got a friend in me advancement which i think is pretty cool now of course generally it’s not useful for that application is of course when you would break this you would just pick

It up but it can be very useful for is things like when you’re fighting mobs at night let’s say you’re fighting them in a mob drops a certain item like a zombie drops a piece of rotten flesh and that piece of rotten flesh can be picked up

By the alley a bit of information of exactly how they work they have two different inventory slots the first slot i call an information slot which is basically the first item you’ve given to them this just tells them what they should be looking for and the second

Slot is their storage slot this is what they can pick up so for instance let’s throw down some emeralds as i think one of these alleys here has an emerald in its hand it can pick up all six of these emeralds i’ve thrown on the ground in

Fact it can at this point pick them up instantly now sometimes they get a little bit distracted they get a little bit stuck in things but you can see they’ll generally tend to grab it so this one comes here it grabs them i can

Kind of run away from it if i want to but it will try and chase me that it has those and it will not wait to try and come over here and throw them at me now unfortunately it sometimes miss throws but the good news is that if it does

It’ll just pick up those items again you can see it’s throwing them at me now let’s see what happens because we haven’t picked those up it’s going to pick them up again and keep throwing them at me until i have them all back so their secondary storage slot has a full

64 items it can hold but of course if you give it something like an axe or a sword it will only give you one more because it can only pick up one more if it finds one and of course with the ender pearls it would only stack to 16

As would a standard one slot in your inventory now let’s say we’ve decided we do not want this alley to pick up emeralds anymore thankfully it’s not stuck like that permanently simply right click on them when you have an empty slot in your hot bar just like this and

You can see here that alley now does not have that item in its hand but be aware that alley is also now untamed to you so let’s say we give it this piece of light gray wool like we did the other alleys now it is tamed to us again but the

Allies are the only mob in the game that can be untamed and tamed again especially by multiple players so just be aware of that when changing the items around you could let’s say remove an item for an alley it could just go flying around it might be hard to find

It again or they do generally tend to stay rather low down when they’re flying then once it has its information item it will look within a 32 block radius around it to find more items of that type generally this tends to be 32 blocks around the player as when the

Player is walking around the alleys will follow it so let’s say we drop down all these jungle logs onto the ground a little bit further away from where the alleys are because we’ve been walking quite fast here we’ll just throw them all here on the ground just one by one

We can see here all the alleys will come and kind of pick them up and once they pick them up then they will try chasing me to throw those items back and so if there’s any items within that 32 block radius they will pick them up for you

Now once an la has thrown items to you that it picked up there is a three second timer where it can pick up no other items the reason for this is it could very easily get into an infinite loop where it’s basically just throwing items up into the air and picking up its

Same items again and so to avoid that the alleys have this three second cooldown timer we can actually show that off right here we’ll get this la here to pick up all the logs it’ll throw them to me i’ll throw these back notice that ally does not go after those logs the

Other one does because it was in its three second cooldown but what if you wanted to return items to something that is not you maybe to a hopper well you can do that as well with the alley and you can even use them in storage systems

I’ll show you how to do that right now so to do that you need a note block now if we ring this note block here or hit it there you’ll notice those particles go from the note block and they kind of fly around to each one of the alleys

Basically any alley within range of this note block will be sent the signal from the note block and they’ll then be that la’s favorite note block and will return any items it grabs to it for the next 30 seconds so for instance i will throw these on the ground let’s watch an la

Pick them up what will happen is they will not bring those items to me they will bring them to the note block you’ll notice it does it right there now of course it’s rather inaccurate with that the reason why i put those trapdoors there is so that it does not

By accidentally put them on top of the note block what you may notice here is it’s rather inaccurate with throwing those items there the good news is that if it is inaccurate with an item then it will simply pick it up again and throw them in there you’ll notice that last la

Gave me the block that’s because that note block was rung more than 30 seconds ago so there’s many different ways of setting up something like this of course the more hoppers you have around the note block the better if we were to remove these trapdoors here and try the

Same experiment again you’ll notice most of the jungle logs did end up into the chest there we can see the results we’ll just ring that make those little signals go to the alleys we will then throw these jungle logs on the ground all the way around here let’s watch the alleys come and

Pick them up and they’ve now run over here and they’re throwing them there now you can see what i’m talking about when they are throwing them on top of the note block however the good news is that by just putting a trapdoor on top of there that generally will get rid of any

Issues but just be aware of course having any item on top of a noteblock will make it not work so you cannot do that what you can do is have a trapdoor just off the side of it and that can give you an effective way to stop them

From going and putting the blocks in the wrong area so that’s how you have them deliver them to an alternative location and all you have to do to make this constant not have to bring the note block again you simply put a little timer or a little clock up to this

They’ll make this ring again and again for instance two observers facing each other then facing this and that’ll just ding on and off and that’ll make them consistently stay there rather little repeater clock might work i’ve even seen some systems people have set up where they have alleys in a

Row going into their item sorter because allies can sort non-stackable items like swords which most mobs cannot and they’re incredibly useful for lots of sorting system designs you may be wondering why did mojang call this mob the alley kind of seems like an interesting word maybe the la or the

Alley one of those two well the reason why is that the word alley means to relieve or alleviate sort of like some mob that will help you and will make it a lot easier for you to play the game this is actually contrasted to the mob

That looks very much like the alley the vex and vex means to anger or worry so it’s quite interesting that there’s sort of a good and bad side to this type of mob you’ll notice this alley here is holding a totem of undying and shockingly enough alleys can use totems

Of undying so you’ll see the tnt blow up there now this alley was not hurt by them it’s rather stubborn if it was hurt by it then it would use that totem of undying not unlike a fox can and because of their unique ability to be tamed by the

Item that’s in their hand they are the only mob in the game to be able to be untamed and also retained by the same player and also the only mob in the game that’s able to be untamed and then retained by a separate player now though i cannot kill these allies because they

Are my pet alleys if let’s say someone else killed one of these alleys all they can drop is the item that is in their hands they drop no items they drop no experience and considering the fact that these are not a renewable mob in fact probably one of the only non-renewable

Mobs in the game killing these is an incredibly bad idea as they’re definitely worth a lot of time and their diamond texture is not necessarily untrue to their worth since they’re such a cool and useful pet i’m sure these will sell for many diamond blocks one last interesting thing about the la if

It does happen to get hurt it will regenerate one herd of health every second and it has a maximum of 10 hertz of health so let’s say right now this has full health if we were to hurt it you’ll notice it does get hurt there because it’s now not tamed to us but

Thankfully it will regenerate all of its health in that time we can give it an item again and it’ll be right back to normal that’s nice because the mojang developers definitely added a lot of features to the alley which will make it very hard to kill which is a very

Important plus considering how rare this mob is and finally it adds a lot more use to the pillager outpost and to the woodland mansion and that’s enough about the las see you in the next video You
