That's what I said. the idea is that Mojang puts the cooldown between the Allays as well. to make the collection utility more optimal. so now the Allays collect more items from the other Allay than from the farm.
not necessarily. They already have that implemented. Allays do not pick up Items that are dropped by themselves to the user. They would only have to establish that condition as general instead of personalizing it with the user.
in 1.18.31 when the block holding a Top Snow and a Flower is broken, the Top Snow falls but another Top Snow is duplicated as before but now the Flower disappears.
yes, in the version 1.20.41 still the issue.
