Mob Vote 2021: Allay

As you know, Minecraft Live is almost here and since we love to make the community do our homework involve the community, it’s up to YOU to pick which one of three mobs is joining Minecraft! Gather your bearings, because the allay is gearing up to dance right into your heart and maybe the Overworld! 

The allay is a mob with many hobbies. If you give them an item, it will gather more of the same or similar items that they can find and give back to you! This could be a collectible, something you’ve crafted, or a block you mined. Isn’t that nifty? It is also a huge music buff and loves to dance! That’s just delightful. But also practical, because if you have a note block nearby, that’s where it will drop your collectibles! And, as you can see, it is just adorable and has tiny little wings that I am totally not jealous of, not at all. 

In order to get you some insider information, I cornered an all-around expert who also happens to be my editor.

Well, I might have done a little collecting of my own when nobody was watching the keys they kept securely in their pocket. But it looks like my own collecting days are over, judging by the detailed description of me that Per is giving over the phone. Luckily there is a one in three chance that the allay will join us soon and do all of this good work for me! 

Do you want the allay to join Minecraft? Cast your vote on Twitter during this year’s Minecraft Live on October 16! The festivities start at noon EDT, and you can read all about this year’s show at Minecraft.net/live.
