Copper Horn
by Sygikal
Copper Horn brings back the copper horn, an item removed in 1.19, so that players can play different tunes and sounds by looking up or sneaking.
What it does
Copper Horn re-adds the copper horn item, which was later taken out because it did not fit the design goals of the game. Each tune is tied to a player status, so a horn plays a different melody depending on how the player is looking or moving. Looking up at 45 or 90 degrees triggers the Great Sky Falling tune, for example, while sneaking plays a bass tune and other states play a melody.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20.5 – 1.21.10, with Fabric builds for 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9 and 1.21.10. Server owners need it on the server, while players may add it for the horn itself. The custom tunes are supplied through a data pack, which requires a resource pack to use, or through a standalone compiled pack that can be combined with other packs. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Restored copper horn
The copper horn item comes back after its removal in 1.19, with its original sounds in place.
Status-based tunes
Each horn plays a different tune depending on the player's current status, such as looking up or sneaking.
Look-angle triggers
Looking up at 45 or 90 degrees selects the Great Sky Falling tune, so the angle of the view changes the sound.
Data pack delivery
The tunes come as a data pack that can be used alone or with other packs in a standalone compiled form.

What the author says
The Copper Horn was an item added in the bedrock 1.18 previews and could be used to play different tunes based on player status. It was fully removed in 1.19 as it "didn't fit with design goals". This datapack adds back the Copper Horn in all of its glory!
