Better Allays
Better Allays turns the allay, a vanilla helper mob, into a practical part of storage and item transport systems on Fabric.
What it does
Allays can be given jobs in a storage setup: they carry items, and the mod changes how they move so they follow routes more reliably than in vanilla. Allays can also be filtered with a bundle, so only items placed in the bundle are carried. Villages gain allays as an extra spawn, adding them to the church and house areas of the village type.
A noteblock can be tuned with a note, and an allay holding that item is directed only toward noteblocks tuned to the same note when the player right-clicks. This lets a player set up targeted delivery without running commands. The mod is built for Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, and the latest Fabric build is 1.0 for 1.21.8, released 2025-08-11.
Key features
Allay storage systems
Allays act as carriers in storage setups, moving items between containers as part of a larger network.
Bundle item filter
Allays can be filtered with a bundle, so they only carry the items placed inside it.
Tuned noteblock targeting
A noteblock can be tuned to a note, and allays holding that item travel only to noteblocks with the same tune.
Village allay spawns
Allays spawn in the church and house areas of the village type, so a world has them before any are crafted.

Allays are quite useless when it comes to item transport, this mod aims to improve that!
