Allay, behave !
by Estecka
Allay, behave changes how allays follow, teleport and take items, and it is a Fabric mod for servers, with Fabric API required.
What it does
Allays are the helper mobs that collect items for players. The mod tunes their behavior: a called allay follows closely for a few seconds to hold eye contact, and it stays near even after the item is taken away. Once a note-block is bound as a favorite, allays ignore nearby items and note-blocks that would distract them. Players can send an allay off early with a left click.
Teleportation is more limited. Allays only try to teleport to players who are actively trying to reach them, and a configurable distance of 64 blocks keeps them from crossing the entire world. Some features are controlled by fine-tuned gamerules, and a point can be set to stop allays from teleporting to a given place. Allays can still cross dimensions in the cases the mod allows.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the European Union Public License 1.2, and files are published across 14 release versions, with 1.5.0+1.21.5 for 1.21.5 as the latest Fabric file.
Key features
Called allay follow
A called allay follows closely for a few seconds and keeps eye contact, which makes it easier to direct.
Favorite note-block
A bound note-block lets an allay ignore nearby items and note-blocks that would otherwise distract it.
Limited teleportation
Allays teleport only toward players trying to reach them, and a 64-block limit keeps them from crossing the world.
Item delivery tweaks
Allays aim a little higher when giving items and avoid trying to hand items through the floor.
Removable build spots
A setting removes places where an allay tries to work near a player's build, reducing wasted trips.

What the author says
Some features can be fine-tuned in the gamerules. Called allays will follow you closely for a few second, or so long as you maintain eye contact. For that duration, they will remain close even if you take their item away. They will forget their liked note-block, and won't be distracted by nearby items or note-blocks.
