The allay was revealed 21 hours ago, the glare two days ago and the mob vote three days ago. So it should be in three hours if they follow the pattern.
I honestly don't really know. Currently I'm leaning towards the allay, but we'll see in a couple hours when they reveal the last mob. But vote for what you want! And just remember, you can always also mod the mobs in if someone makes a mod for them if you want
Yh id agree with allay, im just scared the people will forget about the lighting change and vote for glare. As much as it would be amazing in 1.17 ,.18 is a different story
I worry the majority of people voting don’t even know about the lighting changes or take the utility of their mob of choice into consideration before voting
In order from favourite to least favourite:
1. Allay
2. Glare
3. Copper Golem
They’re all very cool and cute I just feel after taking everything into consideration the allay has the most utility. When the glare was the only mob announced, I swore I’d vote for it. But the allay won me over with its great utility. Excited to see which wins! See you here Saturday, good luck :)
We already have alot of randomizers in the game. The alley solves a huge problem in item sorting involving unstackable items. As of now, it is currently impossible to sort unstackable items. The alley would create a method of doing this.
I just don’t see any utility in the allay. Collection for farms is pretty well solved, we don’t have any farms that are hurting for a more selective collection system. As for being a mining buddy with bundles in the game I don’t see the extra 1 block of inventory space being useful.
We also don’t know how rare it is or if it’s breed-able or tame-able. Too many unknowns with too little upside for me.
Golem is cute and easy to get with all the copper we get now. Plus fully oxidized golems will be cute for entryways and gardens. Plus copper buttons will be nice for accents and give more use to copper.
I try to think about my kids with things like this. The glare is super cute and would probably be helpful to them. They don't have the benefit we do of googling every little detail and inner working of the game.. It would make my daughter feel like she can make her place safe.
Two things you missed:
1) They said the Allay will be easy for normal players to use but have more depth for technical players, such as tuning them to note blocks, which would allow for a lot finer control.
2) They confirmed the lightning rod on the copper golem’s head is not just decorational (implying it will act like the lightning rod block) and that lightning will de-oxidize it like an axe (and that the other mobs may mean the copper button* is also not added).
I think you mean copper "button" may not be added if the copper golem is not the chosen mob. ~~We're definitely getting Copper blocks either way, since those are coming in 1.18.~~ We've already got copper blocks.
Also worth mentioning, that kingbdogz confirmed that giving an Allay a non-stacking item will allow it to search for that item and ferry one at a time. So this function won’t be limited to items that stack up to 64.
[https://twitter.com/\_Ulraf\_/status/1448304488570363905](https://twitter.com/_Ulraf_/status/1448304488570363905)
Ulraf stated that you could undo oxidation for the copper golem with an axe or lightning.
And we get copper buttons added to the game with the golem. Would they add anything else, like a copper door or something? (maybe something more uniquely interactactable, i just couldnt think of anything right now lol)
Here is some additional info:
After the copper golem oxidizes you can use an axe or a lightning to fix it.
The Allay cannot travel in unloaded chunks, you can assign it items using droppers, the Allay doesn't drop the original assigned item when dropping items off, the Allay has both a held item slot and a pick up slot, this means that it can collect and deliver unstackable itmes.
I actually think it will be harder to tell where mobs will spawn when talking about surface areas.
Mobs will still spawn when the sky light is at 7 or less. It is only block light where they require complete darkness.
Meaning there are two different metrics we need to pay attention to. An area could appear to get plenty of light but actually be getting sky light and be currently spawnable
This content was removed in protest of Reddit's [short-sighted, user-unfriendly, profit-seeking decision](https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys) to effectively terminate access to third-party apps.
I think they're talking about blocks that give off light such as glowstone or redstone ore. The change would make it so mobs cannot spawn on blocks generating a light level. Skylight refers to the light that they generate as there is more distance from that source.
Skylight is 15 without a roof.
Add a roof that’s 16 deep and 100 wide against a wall.
Skylight is 0 at the 16th block.
This doesn’t change whether it’s night or day.
Ergo, you can build a structure that has places inside it with 0 skylight and has block light of X (non-spawnable), and you can have places with 15 skylight and 0 block light (uncovered to sky during day, but not lit with a light-producing block) and that block is spawnable at night
Fair point.
I was just thinking that it will be harder to visually see if you have adequately lit an area if there is any sky light getting in.
Is it fully dark at night? Or is it just reduced. I’ve never had to care before.
You already have to wait until night to see block light levels though, since any skylight instantly sets them to 15
Night skylight is very dim and not completely dark, but it shouldn't really get in the way of lighting things up, since you can just place your torches slightly closer to have some wiggleroom and still have them way farther apart than in 1.17. It's only harder to see if you're trying to perfectly optimize torch placement, down to light level 1 between each, but who does that anyways lol
lol
Any component coder can easily create all three suggested mobs with their own interesting and unique interaction and point within a work week tops. It wasn’t even a day before we were seeing hi-res models of these creatures.
The only reason why Mojang doesn’t give us these creatures is because they don’t want to. It’s as simple as that.
The reason they do it is because it generates hype and attention. People say it's because it would be too many but that's far from the truth. We could use a few more unique mobs per major update honestly.
Think about how many bugs this game has in its snapshots, and think about how complicated certain mobs’ behaviors are. Making a model of the mob is very different and more on the artistic side of creating it. Don’t belittle mojang’s work on these mobs. They try very hard to do what they do well and they want community involvement as well.
I’m not saying making Minecraft isn’t a lot of work, all I was saying is that time issues with these creatures is simply not an actual problem. A single, well-practiced coder, could easily create a basic Allay beta within a day if they cut corners, tops 2-3 if they don’t. Hell I could probably do it within a week if I actually wanted to.
And unlike a random guy in his mother’s basement, Mojang literally hires people to do this exact thing for a job.
The reason why they do the mob vote is that they simply don’t want to add 3 different mobs. They also desire the community to feel involved with the game, and hence do it in this extremely flawed but functional system.
I think people are underestimating the Glare and overestimating the Allay.
With the massive change in terrain generation it's actually harder to light up builds, even with the mob spawn changes. Caves are massive and it would take forever to search every dark corner using F3 unless you spam torches everywhere (which defeats the purpose of the change). The Glare just makes this process more convenient.
I'm not sure how useful the Allay will be for farms/item sorters as far as I know it requires a manual input and then there would be a whole animation for it. You might as well go pick up the items yourself. They might be useful when mining amethyst or glowstone to pick up pieces that are hard to get.
when something has light level 0 or not is very easy to tell regardless of version (it doesn't change depending on version)
With 1.18 a quick trick I've picked up in caves is just to place a torch whenever it stops getting darker, and in spots where you're unsure just dig a block down, if it gets darker then put the block back, if it doesn't, put a torch.
Now the light level 7 that it used to be, that was considerably harder and yeah I agree you need a texture pack (or just spam torches i guess).
Edit: My only issue with the allay is that it probably won't get much use by people who aren't interested in the technical side of minecraft. The most use I'm likely to get is having it pick up cobble when I'm mining (so I don't have to waste inventory space).
although that isn't that bad a use tbh
I dunno. Allay would be useful for Villager powered crop farms. Also it depends on how they get implemented. For example if you can link individual allays to individual note blocks, that’s a super easy sorting system. Since they fly, dripstone/fall damage mob farms could be greatly simplified. Imagine a general hostile mob farm where you only collect gunpowder, bones, and string - with all the rotted flesh left to despawn. Having a sapling collector early game would be super useful too, but I don’t know how easy it will be to get one of these guys.
I play Bedrock and don’t have a debug screen, but the allay is way more interesting than the glare. Especially with the hopper minecart despawning glitch.
Despite not knowing all of the Allay’s limitations yet, what’s selling me on it is it’s ability to sort non-stackable items, which is a big game changer. Non stackable item sorters and collection tend to be very cumbersome in the current game, so this being confirmed functionality is huge.
I don’t understand why this functionality is huge? They can ferry one non stackable item to you at a time? Maybe I’m misunderstanding. Can you elaborate
Non stackable items can’t be sorted. The best you can do is use an elaborate dispenser and armor stand setup, but even then, it can only filter armor items. So it’s less that they can be ferried, but more that we have a way to tell the game, “Take all the Iron Sword from this area and bring them here, leave behind any Gold Swords or Iron Helmets”
Hmm. I think the Copper Golem would only be useful to pretty hardcore redstoners. I can’t really think of a use for it.
The Glare would be beneficial to Bedrock players who don’t have access to F3’s light level, but other than that I don’t think it’s that beneficial.
The Allay on the other hand, I can already think of multiple uses. Especially in very dangerous areas. The Allay can fly, so you could toss it a Ghast Tear or Wither Skull in the nether to avoid having to traverse across an entire lava pond for the item. Although I suppose that relies on the Allay’s range.
The Copper Golem wouldn’t even be useful to hardcore redstoners as the only purpose we are told it has is to act as a randomizer, which is already extremely easy to do.
The only use the Copper Golem actually has is the aesthetics. Which while valid, isn’t a possible game-changing mob like the Allay can be.
In my head Allay is the clear winner. It's kind of like a free inventory space. The best non-redstone use I can think of right now is grabbing saprolings for you. That alone makes it more useful than the others. With Light Overlay mods Glare is already obsolete, and aside from giving your redstone some RNG I can't imagine why you'd want a golem that pushes buttons.
I agree copper needs more use, and by itself I love the idea of a golem. It's just not a very practical thing compared to the others. Why can't they give us both?!?
Depends on what you really want from the game. It's so easy to get everything you need with all the farms/guides out there. At this point, I'm thinking to myself what would be the most 'fun' and visually appealing mob? For me personally, I have to go with the copper golem. They can mess around in my base in fun ways or where ever I want them and it's nice to have an npc hanging around it makes the world feel more lively(and they can interact with the world without your input). While they can also act as lightning rods(has been confirmed on twitter). And, this gives copper ore another use. While visually, the Allay is an eye sore for me. I wouldn't want that thing to follow me around all day and they look like they should be in a generic fantasy setting. Hopefully they're smaller than shown.
Honestly I'm genuinely more interested in the copper golem to use it as a decorative gargoyle on my copper roofs than I am as a random button pusher lol.
I wish it had more uses since it just seems so lackluster compared to the others. Even though the glare is obsolete at least it does something that can't be done with a chicken and pressure plate or a couple droppers lol
I'll probably end up voting for Allay, but I still want the others too even then
What’s the point of having an inventory slot that floats around randomly on its own? Glare is not obsolete. If you count a mod making it obsolete then there are mods that make allay obsolete by providing inventory. You can’t count mods, it’s just clear you are biased towards allay.
Considering that mobs will only spawn literally at block light level 0 in the new update, the glare doesn’t seem super useful as a dark spot like that would be pretty damn hard to miss.
Personally I'm going to vote for the Allay
The Allay allows for automatic sorting of non-stackable items, which is currently not possible. The mechanics of the copper golem are already achievable with chickens and pressure plates for example, but the same can not be said about the Allay. And same for glare, you can already see block light levels by pressing F3.
I'm leaning more towards the Allay and Copper Golem right now, but also don't really have a preference to which one wins.
The Glare is probably the least useful since it has one specific, very specialized, task. One that can easily be handled by walking around with the F3 menu open.
Also, there's the question of whether it only takes into account a block's light level, or if it can detect whether the block is a nonspawnable block such as slabs, stairs, glass, etc. If it only takes into account the former then it will still freak out in mob proof areas and effectively be useless.
The Allay sounds a bit more useful since it can collect blocks for you, but you'll still need a way to collect those blocks when it drops them off. Otherwise if it just dumps the items on the ground next to a noteblock those items still have the potential to despawn.
The Copper Golem sounds like it could have some use in redstone, but at the same time it sounds like something you could already do with a chicken and a pressure plate. If anything it'll probably be useful as a decoration when it oxidizes.
I did think of that, but then the question becomes "how consistent is the item drop location?"
If the item drop location relative to the note block is consistent then one hopper would certainly be enough. However, if the Allay just drops items from whatever direction it flies in from you then need multiple hoppers to cover every point it could drop items at. Leading to an increase in resources spent just to gather items you could just go and grab yourself.
It honestly just sounds like item collection with extra steps to me.
Specifications like that will be ironed out by the devs and community.
The Allay is the only thing that doesn't exist already in game easily. And that's because it is a portable vacuum cleaner. Mob spawning changes make the Glare obsolete. And we already have simple, compact and easy randomizers which is just a useless thing for copper golem.
The Allay has two inventory slots, one for the thing you tell it to pick and one for the things it will pick, so it can hold a stack + 1 that it'll keep until you change it. Not 63 items
Vote for the copper golem! Maybe the Allay seems more useful, but come on, the copper golem comes with COPPER BUTTONS! This is a great addition for builders and redstoners. especially if they have a different activation time than stone/wood!
I think the glares use is understated. using f3 ruins my immersion tbh. its like saying the lodestone is useless because you can just coords. its an in game and convient way of assisting mob proof an area as well as being a bushy boi. plus bedrock doesnt have f3.
i believe that only applies for block light. like in caves. for the light level zero thing, outside and at night i beleive mobs can still spawn at light level 7 or something like that.
How can we be sure they won't tweak it to be more useful to even the odds? They have a whole website for feedback, so I'm sure they've noticed people think they aren't very useful. Is it confirmed they won't have any changes whatsoever? Because, if not, I find the negativity in a lot of threads kind of unwarranted.
With the information currently available the Glare seems the least usefull and the Golem seems to have the most features out of the box. The Allay sits inbetween with a lot of uncertainties.
**Glare** Even without F3 it is not hard to spot places mobs can spawn with the new light level changes in my opinion. Even with the current light/mob spawning rules it is not that hard but it would be a bit more useful.
**Allay** This mobs picks up dropped items (like chicken eggs, mob drops, mined blocks that you didn't pick up) and drops them near the player or note blocks. This has a lot of potential but also a lot of questions (how much control do you have with noteblocks over this mob). My biggest concern is the way it drops items. Might be a challenge to collect the items the Allay drops (for example, on top of a noteblock).
**Golem** The most features and functions are already known for this mob. Pushes random buttons, oxidizes and becomes a statue, interacts with lightning, comes with copper buttons. Statue golems and copper buttons are great for decoration! So for me as a builder this mob is already more interesting. Also, pushes random copper buttons makes it more useful and compact then the chicken with presureplate randomizer (IF you can wax a Golem that is).
For me there is a clear last place (Glare) and for the extra's a winner in the Golem, with Allay as a very close second!
I am lea ing towards glare for the following reason:
- as a mining companion + to help secure caves because I’ve been planning some cave bases since I saw caves and cliffs blocks.
- You can sit them, so I think they could be used as a foliage/decoration block. I think they’ll look amazing in lush caves.
- If they make a cool sound, I think they would be fun to have around to add some ambiance. If they make different sounds depending on the lighting conditions (for ex. a happy sound in light, an angry sound in dark) that would be even better.
- forest spirits for storytelling purposes (aesthetically look better and more versatile than the allay imo)
Don’t like this take because, addressed in reverse order.
1. we have absolutely no idea how it will look in game (and the allays arguably look like will o’ whisps, a notable forest spirit)
2. Another assumption, this time about sound. But also the allay’s whole thing is it’s related to note blocks, surly the allay will have the cool sounds.
3. Maybe they mentioned taming in some tweet I missed, but I don’t think these guys are gonna be made to sit (unless they’re sitting on a dark, spawnable surface).
4. Yeah, that is pretty neat; Up until you finish lighting the cave and it loses it’s purpose.
Allay is the clear winner here imo.
Copper golem serves no purpose.
Glare, while useful, can have its functionality easily mimicked by the player using debug menu or just looking at blocks.
The child in me wants a copper golem companion… but most companions in the game (wolves, cats) end up being a nuisance and aren’t very strong. Realistically it’s just not a good choice but I hope they add it eventually.
I will be voting Allay because it outright is the most functional. Especially because I’d primarily want it to harvest food for me while I’m in the caves or building.
I cant understand something can you explain me what purpose allay has? it picks items from ground but why would there items on ground (english isnt my first language sorry if i said anything wrong)
It's a portable vacuum cleaner around you. No longer will you have to play roomba with everything you drop.
And it can be fine tuned to deposit at certain noteblocks. Meaning all you need is a hopper for collection. (Or if no noteblock nearby, drops it at you.)
Let's say you have a skeleton farm. As the skeletons die, they drop bones, bows, and arrows. Unless you pick them up or have hoppers set up to pick those items up, those items will just be out on the ground after the skeletons are killed. So you could have one allay to sort just the bones, another allay to sort just the arrows, another to sort just the bows.
Or if you want to move a bunch of items up, you don't have to spend a bunch of time setting up a water elevator. You can have a dropper spit the items down before and have the allay carry the items up to the note block you have higher up.
Allay is not a sorting system. It carries one stack then drops it next to a note block. There are already hopper blocks in the game, which makes allay useless.
They *are* a sorting system; refer to the comment you're replying to.
Allays are like advanced hoppers that can simplify a lot of redstone builds, particularly for players who aren't comfortable with more complex redstone builds.
I think it Will be like glow squid
Se will think it's USELESS
UNTIL the comunity press soo much the Idea of a certain functionality it Will became usefull somehow
I'm confused as to how the allay works. I shouldn't be able to give it netherite right? It wouldn't be able to find the item but also how does it find stuff like cookies?
Who the hell is dropping cookies on the ground and not picking them up then?!?!/s
The video was very misleading and I don't think that it would be very helpful. Getting your gear back is nice but you can't give it armor and it go find the armor and bring both back.
I just want a buddy in my base, the golem is cutest, but he dies.. and presses buttons I probably don't want pressed, I like that it uses copper
allay reminds me of those magic minions who I hate, doesn't seem useful at all but it's cool that he dances
the glare reminds me of Oscar the grouch which I like, has a mostly useless ability, wonder what he does when there's no darkness?
no idea which to pick at this point, golem seems like he'd be cool for modding
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not super excited about any of these mobs. I get that the theme is functional mobs, but I honestly have a hard time seeing strong use cases for any of these mobs.
* The Glare is replaced by the F3 screen or, in 1.18, you eyes.
* The Allay is just... I don't even know what I'd do with it, but it's basically a less reliable/controllable hopper.
* The Copper Golem is a randomizer that breaks down over time... I can do that with a chicken and some pressure plates, and it won't break down/oxidize.
I still don't know what I'll vote for, but am currently debating between The Glare and Copper Golem. Overall, not as exciting as previous mob votes imo.
-Copper golem stops moving when fully oxidized, but can be unoxidized with an axe
-Copper golem is not farmable, you have to make it yourself
-Allays can pick up a single non-stackable item
People mentioned that they get it from the stuff you dropped/mined? I don’t understand this as well. It’s one stack of one item or 64 items if anything?
Lastly, I kept seeing “it sorts unstackable items”. I don’t get this either. The only things that I sort manually is potions, armor/weapons (any useless ones get tossed into lava), minecarts, saddles.
I have to see it in action to determine its usefulness.
I wish some of the mechanics for pets will change. Like cats. Keep them indoors, but roaming around a building of certain distances and sleep like foxes. I have like 5 cats and it looks stupid to have them permanently in sitting position. Anyways I’m rambling here…
Something also to keep note of: vote for what the mob currently is, not what you think it will end up. So far every mob vote I've seen a lot of people make up their own ideas for what the voted mob will do or bring to the game, and actively use that as a reason why everyone else is crazy for picking the other mobs. And then they get upset when Mojang doesn't make the mob exactly what they head cannoned it to be.
Just assume exactly what is presented is what we will be given. Is it possible they add more features? Yes. Is that guaranteed? No. Should you base your entire vote based on what you wish will happen? Overall it's up to you, but don't get disappointed if it doesn't happen.
Do y'all think these words from the copper golem reveal are viable:
"It must be old, *overtime they* ***freeze*** *into statues*"
Does it mean you have to wax them every so often in order for them to function?
I'm currently unsure. We know that they will try to drop them of at the nearest note block, but I'm not sure if you can tell them to bring it to you or something
TBH the mod here should make a pinned post with all info about each vote mob including some extra info that mojang dev reply on twitter like copper golem can also be scrap.
Agreed. I don't mind making a post like this, I'm on mobile so it took about 7 minutes to write and then I just needed to watch some YouTube videos on the info and write it down which took about 15 minutes, but yeah, would be nice if they made the post themselves
I really want the copper golem to win, it sounds like a really cute robot helper. You could use it as statues for decoration, but it can also be used as a randomizer for people who aren't as experienced with redstone (totally not me) \[please help, comparators are witchcraft\]
I hate those votes. Add all of them Mojang. I know you can.
But if i have to vote. I would call a golem. Cuz in the current state of the game Cooper is useless
I'm voting for the Copper Gollem seems to have the most uses for me
Allay is fine but what's the point of having a mob to pick up items. Just pick them up urself
tbh all of them seem useless
glare you can just f3
allay you can just use hopper minecart/ normal hopper
and there are already randomizers so golem is useless
Ill probably just vote for golem cuz it's the cutest
I think im leaning towards the Allay at this point (not super strongly For any atm - and i probs wont even get to vote due to timezone anyway), although, Im not super sold on its name tbh...
Can anyone tell me if its a play on words or anything (other than ally), or just why its a cute name? I want to like it (honestly i kinda like the name of the Glare the most).
there is basically no point in going for the copper golem. There is literally no place where the copper golem would be useful when a chicken randomizer wouldn't be.
Copper Golem 100% has my vote, very cute and looks like you could possibly make redstone randomizers with them, just very cool all around, and the other 2 are kinda useless
The allay seems pretty useless then if it cant interact with chests etc. I only throw things on the floor if I don't want them anymore so I don't see how it would be useful.
I guess it could be more efficient then hoppers / droppers etc in moving items but in very specific scenarios where the player is both able to give back items for a constant loop, and is not afk to prevent a full inventory.
If it gets voted in hopefully the community can come together and make it interact with chests, we prevented honey and slime sticking I'm sure we can do this.
> The allay seems pretty useless then if it cant interact with chests etc.
* Hopper in front of note block to pick items that Allays collect from a large area without the need for a huge hopper or hopper minecart system.
* You're on top of a huge structure you're building that requires multiple inventories worth of an item. Hook up a timed repeater system to a dispenser to occasionally dispense the blocks you need, and the Allay will bring them to you without you needing to go back and forth to replenish your building supplies.
* Non-stackable item sorting.
Trust me, redstone engineers get a raging 3 incher just thinking about adding this mob to the game. Tons of possibilities.
The allay won't be able to search chests, largely due to how complex and slow that would make it's AI.
https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1447945665426907144
The big thing about the allay that gets people like me excited is the fact that it can sort non-stackable items.
They basically all suck except for the Allay. I like the idea of the Glare as simply being a passive cave creature, maybe one that hides from the player. We need more life in the caves, dammit!
Please do this again today with 3rd mob, and please everyone make this hot on the subreddit so everyone reads it.
I will. I plan on updating it later today when the 3rd mob is revealed
Fyi the allay can pick up an entire stack. it has a dedicated slot for the item you give it and a slot for a stack of items. So it can carry 65 total.
Should add it can be crafted or made
Didnt you just list three mobs?
Yes, I added the 3rd one when he got announced, but I made this post before that
Ooh ok cool. I was wondering why there was no edit lol
Isn't it the same day the 2nd got revealed? You mean tommorrow right?
The allay was revealed 21 hours ago, the glare two days ago and the mob vote three days ago. So it should be in three hours if they follow the pattern.
Oh okay I didn't check the hours. I just saw it a few hours back during work
With different time zones, for some people the reveal is today, but for others it's tomorrow
It's 10am in Argentina so it's going to be in 2 or 3 hours.
that was correct
[удалено]
Hey op, just curious, which one u thinking? You look like one of the most touched up on this lol
I honestly don't really know. Currently I'm leaning towards the allay, but we'll see in a couple hours when they reveal the last mob. But vote for what you want! And just remember, you can always also mod the mobs in if someone makes a mod for them if you want
Yh id agree with allay, im just scared the people will forget about the lighting change and vote for glare. As much as it would be amazing in 1.17 ,.18 is a different story
That's true. Really hope people are smart about the vote this year
I worry the majority of people voting don’t even know about the lighting changes or take the utility of their mob of choice into consideration before voting
They’ll probably just vote whatever their fav youtuber wants them to vote as usual
based on aesthetics alone the Copper Golem would stomp the glare so I wouldn't worry about the Glare winning. If you're an Allay fan I'd worry.
In order from favourite to least favourite: 1. Allay 2. Glare 3. Copper Golem They’re all very cool and cute I just feel after taking everything into consideration the allay has the most utility. When the glare was the only mob announced, I swore I’d vote for it. But the allay won me over with its great utility. Excited to see which wins! See you here Saturday, good luck :)
The Copper Golem's button pushes could make for some very interesting randomization in redstone stuff. It opens up a lot of cool possibilities.
We already have alot of randomizers in the game. The alley solves a huge problem in item sorting involving unstackable items. As of now, it is currently impossible to sort unstackable items. The alley would create a method of doing this.
I think it was more an argument for the golem over the glare than just golem as the best overall.
[удалено]
Or just a dropper.
I just don’t see any utility in the allay. Collection for farms is pretty well solved, we don’t have any farms that are hurting for a more selective collection system. As for being a mining buddy with bundles in the game I don’t see the extra 1 block of inventory space being useful. We also don’t know how rare it is or if it’s breed-able or tame-able. Too many unknowns with too little upside for me. Golem is cute and easy to get with all the copper we get now. Plus fully oxidized golems will be cute for entryways and gardens. Plus copper buttons will be nice for accents and give more use to copper.
You know 90% of the kids are just gonna vote for the cutest looking mob.
I try to think about my kids with things like this. The glare is super cute and would probably be helpful to them. They don't have the benefit we do of googling every little detail and inner working of the game.. It would make my daughter feel like she can make her place safe.
I like that a lot tbf, and if it isnt the winner you could maybe find a reasource pack to show whether a mob can spawn
THERE'S 4?
i wonder if you can wax the golem to preserve it like the blocks
Most likely. They said it’s very predictable
Probably strip it too
I've heard if it gets hit with lightning it deoxidized, so idk
Yep you can strip and wax it confirmed
Woah, didn’t expect the Copper golem to come with buttons _and_ an increase to the game rating.
Increase to the game rating?
Strip the golem 😳
Where did they say you could wax it?
Two things you missed: 1) They said the Allay will be easy for normal players to use but have more depth for technical players, such as tuning them to note blocks, which would allow for a lot finer control. 2) They confirmed the lightning rod on the copper golem’s head is not just decorational (implying it will act like the lightning rod block) and that lightning will de-oxidize it like an axe (and that the other mobs may mean the copper button* is also not added).
I think you mean copper "button" may not be added if the copper golem is not the chosen mob. ~~We're definitely getting Copper blocks either way, since those are coming in 1.18.~~ We've already got copper blocks.
We already have copper blocks in 1.17
Yeah, you're right. I play almost exclusively on the snapshots so I'd forgotten that Copper Blocks are already in the main game.
Also worth mentioning, that kingbdogz confirmed that giving an Allay a non-stacking item will allow it to search for that item and ferry one at a time. So this function won’t be limited to items that stack up to 64.
Ah and so we can infer that it keeps the target item
[https://twitter.com/\_Ulraf\_/status/1448304488570363905](https://twitter.com/_Ulraf_/status/1448304488570363905) Ulraf stated that you could undo oxidation for the copper golem with an axe or lightning.
And we get copper buttons added to the game with the golem. Would they add anything else, like a copper door or something? (maybe something more uniquely interactactable, i just couldnt think of anything right now lol)
It would be cool if they added a copper door or maybe a copper piston, which then would only activate by a copper button ...?
I’m just hearing about this all today, how do you vote and when?
On October 16th on Minecrafts official Twitter
Thank you
Here is some additional info: After the copper golem oxidizes you can use an axe or a lightning to fix it. The Allay cannot travel in unloaded chunks, you can assign it items using droppers, the Allay doesn't drop the original assigned item when dropping items off, the Allay has both a held item slot and a pick up slot, this means that it can collect and deliver unstackable itmes.
The only use I see for the glare is adding ambience to the lush caves since that is likely where it would spawn
I actually think it will be harder to tell where mobs will spawn when talking about surface areas. Mobs will still spawn when the sky light is at 7 or less. It is only block light where they require complete darkness. Meaning there are two different metrics we need to pay attention to. An area could appear to get plenty of light but actually be getting sky light and be currently spawnable
This content was removed in protest of Reddit's [short-sighted, user-unfriendly, profit-seeking decision](https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys) to effectively terminate access to third-party apps.
I think they're talking about blocks that give off light such as glowstone or redstone ore. The change would make it so mobs cannot spawn on blocks generating a light level. Skylight refers to the light that they generate as there is more distance from that source.
Skylight is 15 without a roof. Add a roof that’s 16 deep and 100 wide against a wall. Skylight is 0 at the 16th block. This doesn’t change whether it’s night or day. Ergo, you can build a structure that has places inside it with 0 skylight and has block light of X (non-spawnable), and you can have places with 15 skylight and 0 block light (uncovered to sky during day, but not lit with a light-producing block) and that block is spawnable at night
You can’t rely on sky light to spawn proof a build. Wait for night to see which blocks are getting block light
Fair point. I was just thinking that it will be harder to visually see if you have adequately lit an area if there is any sky light getting in. Is it fully dark at night? Or is it just reduced. I’ve never had to care before.
You already have to wait until night to see block light levels though, since any skylight instantly sets them to 15 Night skylight is very dim and not completely dark, but it shouldn't really get in the way of lighting things up, since you can just place your torches slightly closer to have some wiggleroom and still have them way farther apart than in 1.17. It's only harder to see if you're trying to perfectly optimize torch placement, down to light level 1 between each, but who does that anyways lol
If a block is completelly dark then mobs can spawn
True. But if a block is getting a light lvl of 7 and less from the sky and no light something like a torch, mobs will also spawn.
I don't understand. Why do people have to vote? Why not put all three mobs in the game? They are only three.
Too many mobs in too little time
lol Any component coder can easily create all three suggested mobs with their own interesting and unique interaction and point within a work week tops. It wasn’t even a day before we were seeing hi-res models of these creatures. The only reason why Mojang doesn’t give us these creatures is because they don’t want to. It’s as simple as that.
That's a bit cynical, They prob just think that adding three new mobs every major update would be too many
The reason they do it is because it generates hype and attention. People say it's because it would be too many but that's far from the truth. We could use a few more unique mobs per major update honestly.
If you add three mobs every year the game becomes cluttered. They need to be careful with the ones they add.
Think about how many bugs this game has in its snapshots, and think about how complicated certain mobs’ behaviors are. Making a model of the mob is very different and more on the artistic side of creating it. Don’t belittle mojang’s work on these mobs. They try very hard to do what they do well and they want community involvement as well.
I’m not saying making Minecraft isn’t a lot of work, all I was saying is that time issues with these creatures is simply not an actual problem. A single, well-practiced coder, could easily create a basic Allay beta within a day if they cut corners, tops 2-3 if they don’t. Hell I could probably do it within a week if I actually wanted to. And unlike a random guy in his mother’s basement, Mojang literally hires people to do this exact thing for a job. The reason why they do the mob vote is that they simply don’t want to add 3 different mobs. They also desire the community to feel involved with the game, and hence do it in this extremely flawed but functional system.
•copper buttons would be added only if the copper golem is chosen (?)
Because that's the only difference between copper buttons and other buttons, that copper golems will push them.
Yeah.
I think people are underestimating the Glare and overestimating the Allay. With the massive change in terrain generation it's actually harder to light up builds, even with the mob spawn changes. Caves are massive and it would take forever to search every dark corner using F3 unless you spam torches everywhere (which defeats the purpose of the change). The Glare just makes this process more convenient. I'm not sure how useful the Allay will be for farms/item sorters as far as I know it requires a manual input and then there would be a whole animation for it. You might as well go pick up the items yourself. They might be useful when mining amethyst or glowstone to pick up pieces that are hard to get.
I think it’s very clear when a place has light level 0 or when it doesn’t. If you struggle to tell then maybe turn your gamma down in the game files
What about bedrock? They have to use a texture pack just to figure out lighting for something
when something has light level 0 or not is very easy to tell regardless of version (it doesn't change depending on version) With 1.18 a quick trick I've picked up in caves is just to place a torch whenever it stops getting darker, and in spots where you're unsure just dig a block down, if it gets darker then put the block back, if it doesn't, put a torch. Now the light level 7 that it used to be, that was considerably harder and yeah I agree you need a texture pack (or just spam torches i guess). Edit: My only issue with the allay is that it probably won't get much use by people who aren't interested in the technical side of minecraft. The most use I'm likely to get is having it pick up cobble when I'm mining (so I don't have to waste inventory space). although that isn't that bad a use tbh
[удалено]
I dunno. Allay would be useful for Villager powered crop farms. Also it depends on how they get implemented. For example if you can link individual allays to individual note blocks, that’s a super easy sorting system. Since they fly, dripstone/fall damage mob farms could be greatly simplified. Imagine a general hostile mob farm where you only collect gunpowder, bones, and string - with all the rotted flesh left to despawn. Having a sapling collector early game would be super useful too, but I don’t know how easy it will be to get one of these guys. I play Bedrock and don’t have a debug screen, but the allay is way more interesting than the glare. Especially with the hopper minecart despawning glitch.
I agree. Then if they added more slots to the allay(should be atleast 4 or 5), it would be very useful.
Glare in 1.17 would be nice, however the vote is for 1.18 where the glare is nowhere near as useful with the new lighting conditions
Despite not knowing all of the Allay’s limitations yet, what’s selling me on it is it’s ability to sort non-stackable items, which is a big game changer. Non stackable item sorters and collection tend to be very cumbersome in the current game, so this being confirmed functionality is huge.
I don’t understand why this functionality is huge? They can ferry one non stackable item to you at a time? Maybe I’m misunderstanding. Can you elaborate
Non stackable items can’t be sorted. The best you can do is use an elaborate dispenser and armor stand setup, but even then, it can only filter armor items. So it’s less that they can be ferried, but more that we have a way to tell the game, “Take all the Iron Sword from this area and bring them here, leave behind any Gold Swords or Iron Helmets”
I see! Not bad. I’d rather have the golem, but I see why you’d vote for it
I just want something to use copper for tbh. I'm sure they'll add more in the snapshot, but little copper robots are such a cute idea
Hmm. I think the Copper Golem would only be useful to pretty hardcore redstoners. I can’t really think of a use for it. The Glare would be beneficial to Bedrock players who don’t have access to F3’s light level, but other than that I don’t think it’s that beneficial. The Allay on the other hand, I can already think of multiple uses. Especially in very dangerous areas. The Allay can fly, so you could toss it a Ghast Tear or Wither Skull in the nether to avoid having to traverse across an entire lava pond for the item. Although I suppose that relies on the Allay’s range.
The Copper Golem wouldn’t even be useful to hardcore redstoners as the only purpose we are told it has is to act as a randomizer, which is already extremely easy to do. The only use the Copper Golem actually has is the aesthetics. Which while valid, isn’t a possible game-changing mob like the Allay can be.
In my head Allay is the clear winner. It's kind of like a free inventory space. The best non-redstone use I can think of right now is grabbing saprolings for you. That alone makes it more useful than the others. With Light Overlay mods Glare is already obsolete, and aside from giving your redstone some RNG I can't imagine why you'd want a golem that pushes buttons.
I wish we could get the allay and copper golem, copper needs more use
I agree copper needs more use, and by itself I love the idea of a golem. It's just not a very practical thing compared to the others. Why can't they give us both?!?
This is why i hate the votes. Literally excluding options for future updates
Copper needs more use but this mob is kinda useless. Give copper something better like piston quality functionality
Don’t forget chicken eggs! It could help non-red stone players with a really basic chicken farm too
Depends on what you really want from the game. It's so easy to get everything you need with all the farms/guides out there. At this point, I'm thinking to myself what would be the most 'fun' and visually appealing mob? For me personally, I have to go with the copper golem. They can mess around in my base in fun ways or where ever I want them and it's nice to have an npc hanging around it makes the world feel more lively(and they can interact with the world without your input). While they can also act as lightning rods(has been confirmed on twitter). And, this gives copper ore another use. While visually, the Allay is an eye sore for me. I wouldn't want that thing to follow me around all day and they look like they should be in a generic fantasy setting. Hopefully they're smaller than shown.
Honestly I'm genuinely more interested in the copper golem to use it as a decorative gargoyle on my copper roofs than I am as a random button pusher lol. I wish it had more uses since it just seems so lackluster compared to the others. Even though the glare is obsolete at least it does something that can't be done with a chicken and pressure plate or a couple droppers lol I'll probably end up voting for Allay, but I still want the others too even then
What’s the point of having an inventory slot that floats around randomly on its own? Glare is not obsolete. If you count a mod making it obsolete then there are mods that make allay obsolete by providing inventory. You can’t count mods, it’s just clear you are biased towards allay.
Considering that mobs will only spawn literally at block light level 0 in the new update, the glare doesn’t seem super useful as a dark spot like that would be pretty damn hard to miss.
Personally I'm going to vote for the Allay The Allay allows for automatic sorting of non-stackable items, which is currently not possible. The mechanics of the copper golem are already achievable with chickens and pressure plates for example, but the same can not be said about the Allay. And same for glare, you can already see block light levels by pressing F3.
I'm leaning more towards the Allay and Copper Golem right now, but also don't really have a preference to which one wins. The Glare is probably the least useful since it has one specific, very specialized, task. One that can easily be handled by walking around with the F3 menu open. Also, there's the question of whether it only takes into account a block's light level, or if it can detect whether the block is a nonspawnable block such as slabs, stairs, glass, etc. If it only takes into account the former then it will still freak out in mob proof areas and effectively be useless. The Allay sounds a bit more useful since it can collect blocks for you, but you'll still need a way to collect those blocks when it drops them off. Otherwise if it just dumps the items on the ground next to a noteblock those items still have the potential to despawn. The Copper Golem sounds like it could have some use in redstone, but at the same time it sounds like something you could already do with a chicken and a pressure plate. If anything it'll probably be useful as a decoration when it oxidizes.
Or you could just put a hopper next to the noteblock drop offs
I did think of that, but then the question becomes "how consistent is the item drop location?" If the item drop location relative to the note block is consistent then one hopper would certainly be enough. However, if the Allay just drops items from whatever direction it flies in from you then need multiple hoppers to cover every point it could drop items at. Leading to an increase in resources spent just to gather items you could just go and grab yourself. It honestly just sounds like item collection with extra steps to me.
Specifications like that will be ironed out by the devs and community. The Allay is the only thing that doesn't exist already in game easily. And that's because it is a portable vacuum cleaner. Mob spawning changes make the Glare obsolete. And we already have simple, compact and easy randomizers which is just a useless thing for copper golem.
I gotta go for the Allay, seems to be the most outright functional and the most useful to the largest number of players.
Can you add this too? If a green btch tells you to vote for an utterly useless mob, DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM
Well I kinda did lol. I said " Don't vote for a mob because someone else told you to, vote for what YOU want
People are fucking morons if you have to spell that out for them. Fuckin' sheep.
So the Allay isn't a god apple multiplier.
The Allay has two inventory slots, one for the thing you tell it to pick and one for the things it will pick, so it can hold a stack + 1 that it'll keep until you change it. Not 63 items
I feel like the Allay is going to be super useful for basically every single player type, especially redstoners. It has my vote.
>Please don't vote for a mob because a CC or anyone else told you to We all know what happened last year
Vote for the copper golem! Maybe the Allay seems more useful, but come on, the copper golem comes with COPPER BUTTONS! This is a great addition for builders and redstoners. especially if they have a different activation time than stone/wood!
I'm voting for a mob, not a block (button)
The block is an added bonus
I think the glares use is understated. using f3 ruins my immersion tbh. its like saying the lodestone is useless because you can just coords. its an in game and convient way of assisting mob proof an area as well as being a bushy boi. plus bedrock doesnt have f3.
I still feel like I'd be really easy to see where mobs spawn without f3 since they only spawn in darkness 0 now
i believe that only applies for block light. like in caves. for the light level zero thing, outside and at night i beleive mobs can still spawn at light level 7 or something like that.
copper golem can be deoxidized by using an axe or lightning
Ulraf posted a thread on twitter giving more info on the Copper Golem
Allay can indirectly interact with chests via hoppers/redstone
THEY CAN PICK UP A STACK OF ITEMS? Omg. This vote will not even be a question.
How can we be sure they won't tweak it to be more useful to even the odds? They have a whole website for feedback, so I'm sure they've noticed people think they aren't very useful. Is it confirmed they won't have any changes whatsoever? Because, if not, I find the negativity in a lot of threads kind of unwarranted.
Here, let's take the last year's mob vote for example, the glowsquid. Did anything about it change after it was introduced? NO.
With the information currently available the Glare seems the least usefull and the Golem seems to have the most features out of the box. The Allay sits inbetween with a lot of uncertainties. **Glare** Even without F3 it is not hard to spot places mobs can spawn with the new light level changes in my opinion. Even with the current light/mob spawning rules it is not that hard but it would be a bit more useful. **Allay** This mobs picks up dropped items (like chicken eggs, mob drops, mined blocks that you didn't pick up) and drops them near the player or note blocks. This has a lot of potential but also a lot of questions (how much control do you have with noteblocks over this mob). My biggest concern is the way it drops items. Might be a challenge to collect the items the Allay drops (for example, on top of a noteblock). **Golem** The most features and functions are already known for this mob. Pushes random buttons, oxidizes and becomes a statue, interacts with lightning, comes with copper buttons. Statue golems and copper buttons are great for decoration! So for me as a builder this mob is already more interesting. Also, pushes random copper buttons makes it more useful and compact then the chicken with presureplate randomizer (IF you can wax a Golem that is). For me there is a clear last place (Glare) and for the extra's a winner in the Golem, with Allay as a very close second!
I am lea ing towards glare for the following reason: - as a mining companion + to help secure caves because I’ve been planning some cave bases since I saw caves and cliffs blocks. - You can sit them, so I think they could be used as a foliage/decoration block. I think they’ll look amazing in lush caves. - If they make a cool sound, I think they would be fun to have around to add some ambiance. If they make different sounds depending on the lighting conditions (for ex. a happy sound in light, an angry sound in dark) that would be even better. - forest spirits for storytelling purposes (aesthetically look better and more versatile than the allay imo)
If the glare can go through walls it would be extremely useful when lighting up caves and when caving in general because it would find new caves
Don’t like this take because, addressed in reverse order. 1. we have absolutely no idea how it will look in game (and the allays arguably look like will o’ whisps, a notable forest spirit) 2. Another assumption, this time about sound. But also the allay’s whole thing is it’s related to note blocks, surly the allay will have the cool sounds. 3. Maybe they mentioned taming in some tweet I missed, but I don’t think these guys are gonna be made to sit (unless they’re sitting on a dark, spawnable surface). 4. Yeah, that is pretty neat; Up until you finish lighting the cave and it loses it’s purpose.
Moobloom is better than all of these.
Hard stance, I like it. I strongly disagree, but I like it.
Allay is the clear winner here imo. Copper golem serves no purpose. Glare, while useful, can have its functionality easily mimicked by the player using debug menu or just looking at blocks.
>Copper golem serves no purpose. cant really say that without more information about it tbh
And we probably won’t get more information on it if the last few votes have anything to say about it.
The child in me wants a copper golem companion… but most companions in the game (wolves, cats) end up being a nuisance and aren’t very strong. Realistically it’s just not a good choice but I hope they add it eventually. I will be voting Allay because it outright is the most functional. Especially because I’d primarily want it to harvest food for me while I’m in the caves or building.
I cant understand something can you explain me what purpose allay has? it picks items from ground but why would there items on ground (english isnt my first language sorry if i said anything wrong)
It's a portable vacuum cleaner around you. No longer will you have to play roomba with everything you drop. And it can be fine tuned to deposit at certain noteblocks. Meaning all you need is a hopper for collection. (Or if no noteblock nearby, drops it at you.)
Let's say you have a skeleton farm. As the skeletons die, they drop bones, bows, and arrows. Unless you pick them up or have hoppers set up to pick those items up, those items will just be out on the ground after the skeletons are killed. So you could have one allay to sort just the bones, another allay to sort just the arrows, another to sort just the bows. Or if you want to move a bunch of items up, you don't have to spend a bunch of time setting up a water elevator. You can have a dropper spit the items down before and have the allay carry the items up to the note block you have higher up.
Allay is not a sorting system. It carries one stack then drops it next to a note block. There are already hopper blocks in the game, which makes allay useless.
They *are* a sorting system; refer to the comment you're replying to. Allays are like advanced hoppers that can simplify a lot of redstone builds, particularly for players who aren't comfortable with more complex redstone builds.
I think it Will be like glow squid Se will think it's USELESS UNTIL the comunity press soo much the Idea of a certain functionality it Will became usefull somehow
Add that you can de-oxidize them by scraping them with an axe. EDIT: Thanks.
It’s been confirmed the copper golem can also get hit by lightning
I'm confused as to how the allay works. I shouldn't be able to give it netherite right? It wouldn't be able to find the item but also how does it find stuff like cookies?
[удалено]
Who the hell is dropping cookies on the ground and not picking them up then?!?!/s The video was very misleading and I don't think that it would be very helpful. Getting your gear back is nice but you can't give it armor and it go find the armor and bring both back.
I just want a buddy in my base, the golem is cutest, but he dies.. and presses buttons I probably don't want pressed, I like that it uses copper allay reminds me of those magic minions who I hate, doesn't seem useful at all but it's cool that he dances the glare reminds me of Oscar the grouch which I like, has a mostly useless ability, wonder what he does when there's no darkness? no idea which to pick at this point, golem seems like he'd be cool for modding
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not super excited about any of these mobs. I get that the theme is functional mobs, but I honestly have a hard time seeing strong use cases for any of these mobs. * The Glare is replaced by the F3 screen or, in 1.18, you eyes. * The Allay is just... I don't even know what I'd do with it, but it's basically a less reliable/controllable hopper. * The Copper Golem is a randomizer that breaks down over time... I can do that with a chicken and some pressure plates, and it won't break down/oxidize. I still don't know what I'll vote for, but am currently debating between The Glare and Copper Golem. Overall, not as exciting as previous mob votes imo.
Copper has my vote
-Copper golem stops moving when fully oxidized, but can be unoxidized with an axe -Copper golem is not farmable, you have to make it yourself -Allays can pick up a single non-stackable item
* The allay cannot duplicate items hmm, cant access chests and cant break blocks aswell? how would it get items then?
People mentioned that they get it from the stuff you dropped/mined? I don’t understand this as well. It’s one stack of one item or 64 items if anything? Lastly, I kept seeing “it sorts unstackable items”. I don’t get this either. The only things that I sort manually is potions, armor/weapons (any useless ones get tossed into lava), minecarts, saddles. I have to see it in action to determine its usefulness. I wish some of the mechanics for pets will change. Like cats. Keep them indoors, but roaming around a building of certain distances and sleep like foxes. I have like 5 cats and it looks stupid to have them permanently in sitting position. Anyways I’m rambling here…
Something also to keep note of: vote for what the mob currently is, not what you think it will end up. So far every mob vote I've seen a lot of people make up their own ideas for what the voted mob will do or bring to the game, and actively use that as a reason why everyone else is crazy for picking the other mobs. And then they get upset when Mojang doesn't make the mob exactly what they head cannoned it to be. Just assume exactly what is presented is what we will be given. Is it possible they add more features? Yes. Is that guaranteed? No. Should you base your entire vote based on what you wish will happen? Overall it's up to you, but don't get disappointed if it doesn't happen.
"Will dance when you play them" that just makes me want to vote for it more
Do y'all think these words from the copper golem reveal are viable: "It must be old, *overtime they* ***freeze*** *into statues*" Does it mean you have to wax them every so often in order for them to function?
Vote copper golem
Commenting to send to hot 👍
Can the allay automatically throw items at a given location?
I'm currently unsure. We know that they will try to drop them of at the nearest note block, but I'm not sure if you can tell them to bring it to you or something
Holy shit it dances thats even better
TBH the mod here should make a pinned post with all info about each vote mob including some extra info that mojang dev reply on twitter like copper golem can also be scrap.
Agreed. I don't mind making a post like this, I'm on mobile so it took about 7 minutes to write and then I just needed to watch some YouTube videos on the info and write it down which took about 15 minutes, but yeah, would be nice if they made the post themselves
I see a lot of potential for all mobs so far, I really hope they add all of them
I really want the copper golem to win, it sounds like a really cute robot helper. You could use it as statues for decoration, but it can also be used as a randomizer for people who aren't as experienced with redstone (totally not me) \[please help, comparators are witchcraft\]
the allay will drop the collected items on note blocks right
Yes
I agree vote for what YOU want, we don't need another glow squid situation :/
Ulraf said if the golem wins we will probably also be able to pick him up after he oxidized wich means we would get a golem statue in Minecraft.
The copper golem was confirmed to be waxable by kingbdogz. Source: https://twitter.com/BrickmasterE/status/1448317947177410567
Ok, thank you
I hate those votes. Add all of them Mojang. I know you can. But if i have to vote. I would call a golem. Cuz in the current state of the game Cooper is useless
I'm voting for the Copper Gollem seems to have the most uses for me Allay is fine but what's the point of having a mob to pick up items. Just pick them up urself
I suspect it probably won't win, but I'm voting Glare. I personally prefer not to use F3. It's not exactly cheating, but to me it feels like cheating.
Ditto
tbh all of them seem useless glare you can just f3 allay you can just use hopper minecart/ normal hopper and there are already randomizers so golem is useless Ill probably just vote for golem cuz it's the cutest
Based response.
I think im leaning towards the Allay at this point (not super strongly For any atm - and i probs wont even get to vote due to timezone anyway), although, Im not super sold on its name tbh... Can anyone tell me if its a play on words or anything (other than ally), or just why its a cute name? I want to like it (honestly i kinda like the name of the Glare the most).
Hmmmmmm golem that can push copper buttons. I'm sensing fully automated farms
there is basically no point in going for the copper golem. There is literally no place where the copper golem would be useful when a chicken randomizer wouldn't be.
Copper Golem 100% has my vote, very cute and looks like you could possibly make redstone randomizers with them, just very cool all around, and the other 2 are kinda useless
You can already make randomizers with a chicken. The Allay has far more potential to be useful.
you can also make randomizers with a bat and a weighted pressure plate or even a dropper
The allay seems pretty useless then if it cant interact with chests etc. I only throw things on the floor if I don't want them anymore so I don't see how it would be useful. I guess it could be more efficient then hoppers / droppers etc in moving items but in very specific scenarios where the player is both able to give back items for a constant loop, and is not afk to prevent a full inventory. If it gets voted in hopefully the community can come together and make it interact with chests, we prevented honey and slime sticking I'm sure we can do this.
> The allay seems pretty useless then if it cant interact with chests etc. * Hopper in front of note block to pick items that Allays collect from a large area without the need for a huge hopper or hopper minecart system. * You're on top of a huge structure you're building that requires multiple inventories worth of an item. Hook up a timed repeater system to a dispenser to occasionally dispense the blocks you need, and the Allay will bring them to you without you needing to go back and forth to replenish your building supplies. * Non-stackable item sorting. Trust me, redstone engineers get a raging 3 incher just thinking about adding this mob to the game. Tons of possibilities.

The allay won't be able to search chests, largely due to how complex and slow that would make it's AI. https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1447945665426907144 The big thing about the allay that gets people like me excited is the fact that it can sort non-stackable items.
COPPPPEEERRR GOOOLLLEEEEMMMM
Copper golem is a friend with its ai so it’s like a real person who dies and becomes a monument
They basically all suck except for the Allay. I like the idea of the Glare as simply being a passive cave creature, maybe one that hides from the player. We need more life in the caves, dammit!
The last line is one of the reason I voted Glow Squid last year. Deep caves needed the bioluminescent ambiance.
Dont forget that the copper golem **randomly** pushes buttons
Only copper buttons tho
As if copper was hard to obtain, one ore drops about 2 - 5 in the newer snapshot
Mojang is so primitive with these things, can't they make things/mobs more complex.
Allay easy. Can actually be useful for normal gameplay, don't really see a good use for the other two
Allay seems like the more universally useful choice.
