Allay Follow Always
by michiruf
Allay Follow Always changes how tamed-style following works for allays, so they keep trailing a player through portals and across distances.
What it does
Under vanilla behaviour an allay follows a player only within a limited distance. This mod makes allays keep following the player who gave them an item, even through portals, and it adds a directional slow down so an allay eases off when the player moves further away, similar to how a dog trails its owner.
The follow range is set by a multiplier applied to the vanilla range of allays, which is 64 blocks in Minecraft 1.19. The default factor is 1, and a playerLeashMode option, which defaults to NONE, controls leashing behaviour. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it, and it requires Fabric API, with the code published under the MIT License and open source.
Installation means placing the plugin in the server and adding Fabric API alongside it. Files cover Fabric builds 1.19 – 1.21.11 across 24 release versions, and the latest build is 1.4-SNAPSHOT3+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, published as an alpha on 2026-03-21.
