How to tame and breed arrays in Minecraft

The Minecraft 1.19 update added some new and exciting features to the game, including mangrove swamps, ancient cities with wardens, frogs, and more. But nothing has captivated the community more than the addition of Allay to Minecraft. This cute and friendly mob has quickly become one of your most trusted friends in the game. However, initially there was no easy way to obtain more arrays other than exploring and finding them in your own world. But now there’s a way to clone (or breed) arrays in Minecraft and get hundreds of these adorable mobs in no time.

With that said, dive into the world of Minecraft and learn how to breed arrays right away. We also covered how to find Allay mobs, how to tame them, how to have them find blocks, and more.

Where to find alleys in Minecraft

Arrays spawn naturally on two villager structures. They are held as prisoners of war in cages outside the Marauder’s outpost and in cells inside the forest mansion . 50% chance of finding 1-3 arrays in any cell or cage. For more information, see our guide on exact array location.

How to tame an alley in Minecraft

Technically speaking, you can’t tame arrays in Minecraft. However, if you want this mob to chase you like a tamed mob, you will need to give the Allay an item . From common items like buttons to rare items like diamonds, you can use them to get the job done.

However, if you retrieve the item from the alley, it will fly away and no longer chase you. Alternatively, you can attach a leash to the array to prevent it from running away even when you are not holding an item. You can also trade and give Allay another item to keep on hand.

Items needed to propagate or clone an array

Once you’ve established the array’s usefulness, check out the list of items needed to duplicate it in-game.

• 1 array
• 1 amethyst shard
• 1 jukebox
• any music disc

Amethyst Fragments can be obtained by destroying Amethyst Cluster Blocks found growing into budding Amethyst in spherical features (geodes) generated underground. Destroy the cluster using any tool or your hands. Enchantment Fortune in Minecraft generates up to 16 shards per cluster. This item can also be found in chests in ancient cities.

The Jukebox is a craftable block that requires 8 wood planks (of any type) and 1 diamond. Follow the recipe on the working table shown in the image below. We’ve also already shared the best diamond levels in Minecraft, perfect for mining some to use in this recipe.

Allay is a fan of music discs and doesn’t care what disc you’re playing. It just wants to dance. So, to get the job done, try searching for music discs in Minecraft.

How to duplicate an alley in Minecraft

The breeding process in Minecraft Allays consists of two parts: dancing and cloning. To clone an array, follow the step-by-step process described below.

1. To start the duplication process, the array must be brought close to the jukebox and a music disc must be played . As soon as Alley hears the music, he starts dancing around the jukebox until the music stops.

2. This dancing mechanism only takes effect if the array is within a 10 block radius of the jukebox.
3. Once Alley starts dancing, it won’t leave you, even if you don’t have an item or are not tethered to a leash. Next, you need to right-click on the mob and give the dancing array an amethyst shard .
4. Instead of retaining the Amethyst shard, the array replicates itself, consuming the shard in the process. That’s right, you don’t need to have two arrays to breed . They are self-sufficient.

5. If you give an amethyst shard to a non-dancing array, it will keep the item and attempt to find a copy of it. Therefore, you must give the shard to the array before the music stops. And when the new array spawns, you can have them both hold random items and they won’t fly away when the music stops.

How to use arrays in Minecraft

In a blocky world, you can use arrays in the following ways:

• All arrays in the game can be connected to musical note blocks. Therefore, Allay can be used to replace hoppers and water streams in your item collection system.
• Most storage systems fail when used with Redstone machines while they are in motion. Only Aries can keep up.
• There is currently no way to sort non-stackable items in Minecraft other than using multiple arrays.
• In Skulk XP farms and other regular farms, the array can immediately collect the targeted items when a mob dies.
• Finally, Allay also adds beauty to the game. So, placing this around your Minecraft house will brighten up the atmosphere.

FAQ

Can I breed the same array again in Minecraft?

After you clone an array, you must wait at least 2.5 minutes before replicating it again.

How many arrays do I need for breeding?

Unlike other mob breeding processes, the replication process does not require two arrays . You only need one dancing array to create a duplicate.

What is the difference between reproduction and reproduction?

Breeding is the process of creating baby variants of mobs in Minecraft and requires the presence of two adult mobs. However, only one mob is required for the replication process. Create a fully grown version of the same mob.

What does Alley eat?

Amethyst shards are not a food item for the array, even if they are useful for replication. Therefore, the array cannot be cured. However, thanks to the array’s self-healing abilities, no meals are required. In other words, Arrays don’t eat anything in Minecraft.

Which music disc will make the array dance?

Alley loves music, but has no particular taste. You can use any music disc in Minecraft to make it dance. Alley also dances on the gruesome “Music Disc 5,” which is the source of much speculation around the ancient city of Portal.

This way you have the possibility of creating a whole army of arrays at once. Whether you call it cloning or breeding, there’s no denying the fact that Allay offers one of the easiest ways to make copies in Minecraft. Also, discover the true potential of arrays by creating an automated farm using them in Minecraft. That being said, how many arrays will you make? Let us know in the comments section below.
