About this project

What does Better Allay add?

Better Allay

Customize how allays differentiate potions and tipped arrows apart. Optionally make allays pick up items even when mob griefing is off, set how long an allay stays at a noteblock, or bind it to the noteblock permanently.

Features

  • Potion and tipped arrow sorting: choose how allays differentiate potion variants (normal / splash / lingering) and tipped arrows apart, with 30 operation modes.
  • Sort every variant of the same potion together, and optionally keep tipped arrows separate.
  • Allays can ignore the mobGriefing gamerule, so they still pick up items when mob griefing is off.
  • Set how long an allay likes a noteblock, or make it stay with the noteblock forever.
  • Change settings in game with commands, no restart needed.

Commands and POTION_TYPES need mod version 1.5.0 or newer. The Fabric versions need Fabric API.

Commands

  • /betterallay - mod version
  • /betterallay.HELP - help
  • /betterallay.CONFIG - shows all current settings
  • /betterallay.RELOAD_CONFIG - reloads the config file
  • /betterallay.<SETTING> <value> - changes one setting, for example /betterallay.LIKES_NOTEBLOCK_TIME -1

Changing a setting needs operator level 3, on a dedicated server too. You can also edit the config file and run /betterallay.RELOAD_CONFIG.

Config

Usually (%appdata% -> .minecraft -> config -> betterallayconfig.properties)

Operation_mode 19 1 - 30 How allays tell potions and tipped arrows apart, see the list below
POTION_TYPES 1 -1, 0, 1 1: normal, splash and lingering potions are sorted separately. 0: they are sorted together (lingering potion of regeneration goes with splash potion of regeneration). -1: potions are sorted together, but tipped arrows separately
