Allay should hold items while player is moving

In the current snapshot, the allay throws the items to the player as soon as possible and I believe it would be more helpful if it would hold onto them until the player stood still or got to a designated area (like the sound radius of the noteblock if its been established perhaps?). Its a fun little mob to have around but it can get somewhat annoying when its constantly thowing items in your face while your running around.

    Yes! This is what I thought the allay was gonna do when i voted for it. Allays have so much potential, but it really sucks that they immediately give you the items after gathering them and that they're only connected to noteblocks for 30 seconds.

    Imagine if your inventory is full or you're standing over lava? The allays have no use unless you want items immediately after they drop, and in that situation you might as well pick up the items yourself.

     

    There are so many ways to work around this too.

    If the player does want the items before playing a noteblock, they could just take the main item from the allay and the allay could drop the rest of the items from its inventory. That would be much better than constantly giving you items.

    If the player wants to disconnect an allay from any given noteblock, they could just break the noteblock. That would be better than only having them drop items at one for 30 seconds.
