Inanimate Friendship

The mod rebalances the Allay and the Copper Golem for item transport. An Allay stays linked to its Note Block permanently instead of for 30 seconds, and it re-links to a Note Block even when that block already has another link. The Note Block sound no longer forces an Allay to start collecting straight away, and the Allay now picks up the oldest nearby item instead of the closest one. Deliveries land accurately, including when the block above a Note Block is occupied, and the Allay no longer gets stuck ignoring other items such as when a hopper is full. A Copper Golem can pick up a full stack instead of 16 items and can fall 6 blocks without taking damage, which shortens its path.
