Elemental Horns
by HiddenThorn
Elemental Horns turns each goat horn into a crafted item with its own elemental effect, from air and earth to lightning and TNT.
What it does
Each horn is made by placing a goat horn in the middle of a crafting table and surrounding it with a material matched to its element, such as phantom membranes and feathers for the Air Horn, obsidian and stone for the Earth Horn, or copper ingots for the Lightning Horn. The mod gives horns a function in combat and building, where vanilla goat horns serve little purpose beyond a sound.
The effects are aimed at nearby mobs. The Air Horn launches them in open spaces, the Earth Horn traps them under stone and suffocates them, the Ice Horn slows and weakens them, and the Nether Horn sets them on fire. The Ender Horn grants the player extra health, strength and regeneration for a limited time. The TNT Horn makes mobs explode, which can catch the player if they stand too close.
Elemental Horns runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for five game versions: 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.7 as the latest file. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Air Horn launch
Launches nearby mobs into the air, and works most effectively in open spaces rather than enclosed buildings.

Ender Horn buffs
Grants a temporary boost to health, strength and regeneration, helping the player handle tougher hostile mobs.
Lightning and TNT effects
The Lightning Horn strikes nearby mobs with several bolts, and the TNT Horn makes them explode on the spot.
