Remember, it was last October that Minecraft players had to vote for one of the next mobs whose mission will be to join the title of Mojang Studios through Minecraft Live. If the community had voted en masse for Allaythis little blue creature is now available in the title thanks to Snapshot 22w13a.
For those who don’t know what the Allay is, this is a mob that will prove very useful for you since it picks up nearby objects on the ground which are the same object as it is. holds in his hands.
Minecraft Snapshot 22w13a Patch Note
Allay, the mob whose pronunciation no one is quite sure, makes its debut in the latest Minecraft: Java Edition. Along with our shiny new blue friend, we’ve added Ancient Cities, which have seen some pretty drastic changes since the experimental snapshot a few weeks ago, so be sure to check them out.
NEW FEATURES IN 22W13A
- Added Allay
- Added ancient cities
ALLAY
- The Allay will collect all surrounding objects that match the item it is holding.
- Allays will love a player who gives them an item and will bring the items they collect to their loved player.
- If the Allay hears a scratchpad playing, that scratchpad becomes the Allay’s favorite scratchpad for 30 seconds. The Allay will stay near this notepad for this duration and bring the items she has collected to the notepad rather than to the player.
- If you interact with an Allay whose hand is empty, the item she is holding will be removed.
- Allays can be found in Raider Outposts and Forest Mansions.
ANCIENT CITY
Walk the corridors of these long-abandoned structures in the depths of the Deep Dark to discover long-forgotten relics.
- Ancient City structures appear in the Deep Dark biome.
- In chests, guarded by sculk detectors and howlers, you can find the new Swift Sneaking enchantment.
- You can also find a mysterious new block there called Reinforced Deepslate, which cannot be obtained in Survival mode.
- Monsters cannot spawn in ancient cities.
DIFFERENCES FROM THE DEEP DARK EXPERIMENTAL SNAPSHOTE
- Many adjustments have been made to Ancient Cities, with new and modified structures.
- Loot tables have been adjusted for Ancient Cities, including a separate loot table for “Ice House” structures.
CHANGES IN 22W13A
- Minecart recipes with chest/furnace/tnt/hopper are now formless.
- When broken, each variant minecart drops itself as one item, instead of splitting into two items (like the chest and the minecart).
- Only wool and wool rugs now block sounds from note locks.
TECHNICAL CHANGES IN 22W13A
- Added kill_mob_near_sculk_catalyst progression trigger.
- Changed the state of the Sculk shrieker block.
- Rename certain game events.
SCULK HOWLER
- Added can_summon blockstate to Sculk howler which determines if a howler can summon a Warden or not.
- Howlers placed via worldgen will have can_summon set to true.
- When a howler is placed or spawned via Sculk spread, can_summon is set to false.
Already available for PC players in Minecraft, it looks like ray tracing is well on its way to coming to Xbox Series X and S consoles. However, players are going to have to be patient before it finally arrives.
