Detailed Features

Allay Woodchoppers

How do I get allays to chop down trees for me?
You just need to give allays a log of the wood type you want, and hold that log type in your main/off-hand.

Log detection
If you want allays to target a specific tree, you can simply look at it and the allays will do everything else! Otherwise, Allays will scan 6 blocks in all directions for the desired log type and fly towards it if found.

Sapling re-planting
Allays will automatically look for any saplings of the same tree type to re-plant.

Limitations
All Allay Woodchoppers behaviors will only take place in a 32 block area around the player. No trees or saplings will be interacted with outside this zone. Mangrove propagules will not be planted back. Tree leaves or roots will not be chopped.

Allay Army

How can I get my own Allay Army?
Simply give your allays any type of sword. Get as many allays with swords as you want for a bigger army. Better swords will do more damage!

Allays will attack any mob that is angry at you or other allays within 12 blocks.

During the attack, allays will do the following:

• Allays will fly towards the targeted mob even if it is underwater
• The targeted mob will show particles to indicate it is being targeted
• Allays will first target mobs that are closer to you
• Allays have a cooldown of 1.5 seconds before attacking again

Limitations
Allays's damage is only influenced by their sword's type (e.g. iron, diamond) but its enchantments will have no effects.

Allay TP

Automatically TP your nearby allays! Choose when to TP them to you! Useful when flying with elytra and they can't catch up with your movement speed.

How do I enable it?
Simply type /trigger allayTP to enable or disable it.

When will allays auto-tp?

• If they get 48 to 64 blocks away from you.
• When you enable Allay TP by typing /trigger allayTP.

Allay Torchers

How can I get allays to help me place torches?

• First give allays a torch in their hand
• Then drop torches in the floor and let your allays pick them up. (up to 64 torches) Your Allays will now start constantly looking for dark spots to light up!

Where do allays play torches?
In light levels 0, right in front of the player view, or other allays.

Limitations
Due to minecraft command limitations, allays cannot detect low light levels that are exposed to sunlight/moonlight
