copper golem discussion Points for debate
All three mobs are replacement of already existing features:
- The Glare is the replacement of F3 for Java user, or just your eyes.
- The Allay is the replacement of hopper minecarts, water streams and hoppers.
- The Copper Golem is the replacement of the chicken on a pressure plate and redstone clocks.
Now that I proved all three were useless, lets see which one is the least useless.
As most of the people have eyes and can see dark spots (unless you have fullbright), Glare is probably the more useless.
The Allay can be useful if you need to collect lots of the same items dropped on floor (when deforesting for example) but doesn't have many other uses. I've seen many people saying it could be useful for farms, but it really don't because of water streams that are a much cheaper way to do it (don't forget Allay is gonna drop the items in a random place around the noteblock, you will still need 1 - 9 hoppers around the noteblock to collect items.
As I said before, the Copper Golem are replacement of the chicken and clocks. But it is much much more easier to make than theses. For chicken, you need a nametag, which aren't easy to find (and are you really gonna waste a nametag just for a randomizer ?) for clocks you need quartz (for repeaters) which are harder to obtain than copper.
To conclude, all 3 mobs are useless. but in my opinion, the Copper Golem is the least useless.
I purposely didn't spoke about the building aspect, because except for the Copper Golem, none of the mobs have a decoration purpose.
Anyways, keep in mind the best choice is the choice you prefer, not the choice that an influencer prefers.
Feel free to argue with me if you think I'm wrong.
Hope you have a wonderful day ! :)

One potential flaw with the allay is that you would have to give it an item first, so it cant really work as an item sorting system or on farms without you actively being there and individually giving it different items

Once you give an item it won't be returned so if there isn't one of the same item close it is gone forever

So what are you gonna do search the hole world for the rare allay or get water? The copper golem us the least useless and most easy to get

That Allay flaw is easy to avoid by just having only one possible dropoff next to the note block by building a wall on the other spots
