Goat Horns & Copper Horns
by batuhancelik
Goat Horns & Copper Horns lets players craft copper horns from goat horns at a V-shaped copper crafting table, giving each horn a distinct sound.
What it does
Goat horns are the source material for the mod: a goat has to be killed with a Netherite Axe before its horn drops, and the horns drop randomly from goats, with 10 different variants. Combining a goat horn with the V-shaped copper crafting table produces a copper horn, and each goat horn yields one unique copper horn. Nothing else in the mod depends on goats beyond this drop.
The mod is built for Forge on the 1.17.1 – 1.18.2 range, with files for 1.18.2 as the latest release. Both the server and every player need it, since the horns are items the server must recognize and the sounds play on the client. The author reports that the horn drops are only reachable through the goat kill, and that Java Edition is the target, with horn behavior taken from the Bedrock beta version. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
Key features
Ten goat horn variants
Goats drop one of 10 different goat horns at random, so a player collects a set over repeated kills.
Copper horns from a crafting table
A V-shaped copper crafting table turns goat horns into copper horns, with each goat horn producing one unique copper horn.
Three copper horn sounds
Copper horns come in three sound variants, selected by how the player aims or crouches when playing them.
Horn cooldowns
A horn cannot be played again until its cooldown ends, so multiple horns cannot play at the same time.

Collecting goat drops
Players who hunt goats for the rare horn variants can use the copper crafting table to convert each new horn.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.18.2 who want extra horn sounds, and server owners who want goat drops and copper horns added to a Forge server.
