The Bedrock version of Minecraft – so the one that all console and mobile players and some PC players have – got a new update this week that added a couple of new features related to one mob in particular: The Allay. Aside from that mob, a couple of other changes were released, too, along with a multitude of bugfixes for a range of issues players may have been experiencing in the Bedrock version of the game.
The Allay, for those who’ve been on break from Minecraft or those who don’t encounter the mob much, is the creature added to the game as part of the last community vote where Minecraft players chose one of three mobs to welcome to the game. It’s a peaceful mob with a penchant for Jukeboxes and can be helpful when collecting materials, too.
