+Subject: [PATCH] Only erase allay memory on non-item targets
+
+Spigot incorrectly instanceOf checks the EntityTargetEvent#getTarget
+against the internal ItemEntity type and removes the nearest wanted item
+memory if said instanceOf check fails, (which is always the case)
+causing allays to behave differently as they constantly loose their
+target item.
+
+This commit fixes the faulty behaviour by instance performing a check
+against the CraftItem type.
