About

Allayed is a mod that adds some new features to Allays and Vexes. Allays and Vexes will now have a chance to spawn with a new tool/weapon. The new tools have the attack damage and durability of iron weapons, the mining level of diamond tools, and the mining speed of gold. Additionally, holding an Allay Tool while being in the vicinity of an allay will grant you flight. This will allow building to be much more convenient or even traversing your base. Alternatively, you can smelt your allay tool into Plasma, a new item that can be used for crafting and trading.

Additional Features / Showcase

Allay Flight

Holding an Allay Tool near an Allay grants you flight. It also causes exhaustion.

Allay Tool Placement

Right-clicking on a block while using an Allay tool will allow you to place the block in the adjacent slot. Convenient for building & mining. Allay tools, when enchanted with Silk Touch, also have the unique ability to pick up containers (chests, furnaces, barrels, etc.), similarly to how you can pick up Shulker Boxes.

Plasma Magnet

A plasma magnet can be crafted as shown. The Plasma item is obtained by smelting Allay or Vex tools in a furnace. Placing the item magnet in your offhand will allow for all mined block drops to instantly be inserted into your inventory. This is convenient for both building and mining. Fortune, Silk Touch, and any other enchants/modifiers also apply. When mining a container (chest, furnace, barrel, etc.) that contains items, the plasma magnet can not function. The exception to this is when using an Allay Tool that has Silk Touch.

Corrupted Allays

Captured Allays (Allays that spawn in structures such as Outposts and Mansions), will now have a chance to be marked as 'infected'. There is no way to identify if your newly obtained Allay is infected. After 1 to 7 in game days, infected Allays will be converted into Vexes.

Trades

While the new Plasma item can be used for crafting a Plasma magnet, Plasma can also be used to trade with Cleric villagers and Wandering Traders. Cleric villagers now have a new master trade, which takes 2-3 Plasma for a totem of undying. While Wandering Traders will trade 1 Plasma for 12 emeralds.

Vex Weapons

Along with the new Allay toolset, there is now also two new Vex weapons. Instead of Vexes spawning with Iron Swords, they will now spawn with either a Vex Sword or a Vex Axe (with the Vex Axe being more rare). These two new weapons do not have the benefits of Allay weapons but can be smelted to obtain Plasma.
