Musical Foxes
With Musical Foxes, foxes can hold goat horns and play their sounds instead of the usual horn tones.
What it does
Foxes in the world are given the ability to play goat horn sounds. Instead of the regular horn audio, a fox that holds a horn plays a screeching tone at double volume or a snoring sound, both set to 15% volume. Unlike other items, horns are carried in a distinct manner, and the fox's handling of them is what triggers the behavior.
Mods that add new items by extending InstrumentItem can be used with this mod, because its configuration accepts them. Which items a fox can play is controlled through the tag musicalfoxes:fox_play, so server owners and modpack makers can add their own instruments to the list without changing the code. Musical Foxes runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across ten release versions, 1.19 – 1.21, under the MIT License, which does not make the mod open source.
