Java Edition:Allay Wearing Equipment
Allays are mobs which cannot normally equip any items. However, there has been a method to get allays to equip certain equipment items.
Obtaining
From 22w14a (1.19 Snapshot) when allays could first be spawned[1], to 22w16b (1.19 Snapshot), allays could be equipped with certain equipment. When a player gives an allay an item, it will set the allays CanPickUpLoot data tag to true, with this tag set to true the player can dispense any armor, mob head, carved pumpkin, and/or a shield onto the allay and the equipment will be equip by the allay[2].
Observability
Shields that have been equipped on an allay are directly observable while armor, mob heads, and carved pumpkins that have been equipped on an allay are unobservable. However, the player can kill the allay which will drop the equipped items which makes this feature also destructivly observable, or observable at the cost of destroying the discontinued feature. All equipped items have a guaranteed chance to drop as equipping an item onto an allay will increase the drop chance of the inventory slot from 0.085f (8.5%) to 2.0f (200%).
