As one of the most unique creatures in minecraft history, how did Allay appear and be designed? Today we will use the official leaked news to connect the entire Alli development timeline. Talk about the secrets behind The Spirit!
01
The predecessor of Yue Ling, "The Wisp"
The Wisp is a prototype creature designed by Yue Ling in its early days (Wisp means a wisp of smoke). The Wisp, the predecessor of Alle, first appeared in Minecraft in version 1.16 in 2020 as part of the Minecraft Update.
But for a variety of reasons, it didn't end up in the game, so Wisp was considered one of the most disappointing things in 2020.

An early feature of "The Wisp"
The Wisp, an early Minecraft prototype, was designed with the idea of being used as a creature that could hold objects. How to accommodate, how much can be accommodated, behavioral characteristics, etc. are not clear. Mojang officials have so many people that they have not figured out what they should do or what it should do.
Until an accident, let The Wisp hold a cookie in his hand, Mojang rough guy developers are like Zhang Fei shy, completely cute by it. Who can refuse such a cute little creature? It was even designed in several different colors at the time.
So in 2021, Yue Ling defeated the Angry Monster and the Copper Golem with a 51% win rate, if Mojang is so fond of Yue Ling, why did they arrange this vote?
(PS: In fact, if no one deliberately controls the vote, a fool can guess that the light spirit will win.) Just as the ice magician's defeat to the glowing squid makes people very confused is a reason, many votes seem to be a lot of suspense, but in fact there is no suspense. ）

The birth of the "object picking mechanism" of The Spirit Ofe!
Allalay first got the inspiration for a "fetching mechanism" from holding a cookie. In order to make Yue Ling not look more anti-heavenly, Mojang has attached strict settings to the matter of picking up items: Yue Ling can help players pick up items, but they can only pick up drops, cannot open boxes, cannot dig blocks, and cannot produce some items out of thin air.
However, this restriction was considered to be too weak. The reason why Yue Ling' seemingly "mentally retarded" ability to take things is so is that Mojang adheres to a principle of "you can't let other people play games for you".
So you'll find that the original Minecraft survival will never have teleportation anchors like the Original God. Otherwise, players are lying in shelters, asking Yue Ling to help you mine, unbox, and obtain resources. As survival becomes fully automated, you'll gradually find that the game becomes boring and life becomes more fun. So I never played Minecraft again.
To make The Wisp, the predecessor of Yue Ling, look even more useful in Minecraft. Mojang tries to get The Wisp to throw the items he picks up into the funnel. However, these efforts failed, and the official plan was to completely abandon the ability to let the light spirit pick up the items.
Until one day, the solution of music appeared. Happy Spirits, who like music, will throw away their items after the note box sounds for 30 seconds... As a result, Yue Ling was finally born in "Minecraft"!
Today, Yue Ling is still constantly updating in Minecraft, adding more new features. For example, a Spirit that picks up an item in the latest Bedrock Beta 1.19.0.20 can be tied to a leash, or the player can name a Spirit holding an item with a naming card.
In the future, will Yue Ling be able to cross blocks like annoyances?
