What do allay eat in Minecraft?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

In Minecraft, Allays are fascinating ghost-like creatures that roam the game’s virtual world. Unlike many other mobs, Allays don’t have a specific diet or need to eat anything to survive. They are ethereal beings that don’t require sustenance like food or water. So, in short, Allays don’t eat anything in Minecraft.

However, the game does provide a way to duplicate Allays if you want to have more of them in your world. To accomplish this, you’ll need three specific items: a Jukebox, a music disc, and an Amethyst Shard.

First, you’ll need to craft a Jukebox using wooden planks and a diamond. You can do this by placing wooden planks in a crafting table in a 2×2 square, leaving the center empty, and placing a diamond in the middle slot. Once crafted, the Jukebox can be placed in your world.

Next, you’ll need a music disc. These can be found in various ways, such as in dungeon chests, mineshaft chests, or by trading with villagers. Once you have a music disc, you can place it inside the Jukebox by right-clicking on the Jukebox with the disc in your hand. This will start playing the music and create a specific ambience in the area.

You’ll need an Amethyst Shard. Amethyst Shards can be obtained by mining Amethyst Clusters, which can be found in Amethyst Geodes. These geodes are generated underground and have a unique purple hue. When you mine an Amethyst Cluster, it will drop Amethyst Shards, which you can collect.

To duplicate an Allay, you need to follow these steps:

1. Find an Allay in your Minecraft world.
2. Place the Jukebox nearby, ensuring it’s within the Allay’s detection range.
3. Insert the music disc into the Jukebox to start playing the music.
4. Use an Amethyst Shard on the Allay by right-clicking on it with the shard in your hand.
5. After a short period, the Allay will begin to duplicate itself, creating a new Allay nearby.

It’s important to note that the duplication process may take some time, so be patient. Additionally, the Allay duplication can only occur once per original Allay, meaning you’ll need to find a new Allay to duplicate more.

So, while Allays don’t have a specific diet or need to eat anything in Minecraft, they can be duplicated using a Jukebox, a music disc, and an Amethyst Shard. This allows players to expand their collection of Allays and enjoy their ghostly presence in the game. Have fun exploring and experimenting with these unique creatures!
