How many items can Allays carry?

An Allay has a single inventory slot to hold a stack of items (usually 64 items) in addition to the item it got from the player, meaning it can carry a total of 65 items if the initial item is also part of a stackable set. This capacity makes Allays particularly useful for collecting and organizing items in Minecraft, serving as a portable storage option that can significantly enhance gameplay efficiency.
