Find an Allay. In Minecraft , Allays have a 50% chance to spawn in dark oak cages in Pillager Outposts. You can also find them in jail cells inside Woodland Mansions (also a 50% chance to spawn). In both locations, 1 to 3 Allays have a chance of spawning in each cage/cell. [1] X Research source- Allays are passive mobs that are blue and look like fairies. They also look similar to the hostile mob Vex but differ in color (Vex are gray, while Allay are blue), and Vex carry swords.

Craft a Jukebox. Allays will duplicate if given an Amethyst Shard while dancing to a Jukebox. Your Allay must be listening to music and dancing before it's given an Amethyst Shard. -
Give the Allay an Amethyst Shard. The Allay will react when given the shard and duplicate into a second Allay. Unlike other mobs, you only need one Allay to "breed" them.

Allay Uses

-
Allays are most useful for finding items. As stated above, if you give an Allay an item to "tame" it, it'll go looking for that item. This is useful if you're farming a particular item or want your Allay to help you find a lost item.- Note that Allays cannot gather items that are underwater.
-
Allays will deliver items to note blocks if they're nearby. If an Allay hears a nearby note block while delivering items, it will deliver them to the note block instead. After delivering the items, the Allay will spend about 60 seconds by the note block before returning to the player. -
In Bedrock Edition, Allays will follow you through portals. If you enter a nether portal, your Allay will follow you. Your Allay can also follow you into an end portal , but only if you've given them an item before you teleport and your Allay is nearby when you enter the portal.
