The Bug:
Although they cannot clip through blocks like Vex, sometimes Allays sink too far into the ground randomly while flying which causes their shadow to disappear. It will come back after they move upwards a bit.
How to Reproduce:
1. Observe an allay flying around, or picking up items off the ground
2. You will see how sometimes they clip into the ground causing their shadow to disappear
----------------------------------------
Initially I thought this bug was because of the Allay model clipping through the ground as it only seemed to happen when the model touched the ground, however its possibly related to MC-226887 and is instead dependent on the angle the shadow is rendered

I've done some thorough investigating regarding this issue and I'm inclined to believe that the allays aren't "sinking" into the ground here. I'm pretty sure the core problem is that entity shadows sometimes do not render from certain angles. MC-226887, which is a report regarding this for axolotls, states this similar behavior so and it's currently unknown how you can reliably reproduce this issue.

Can confirm in 1.20.2 / 23w44a:
The hitbox doesn't seen to be 'disappearing' but rather it continues to render on top of the block it was previously on when climbing upwards.
