What it does

Players can call up the sound of battle through a set of playable horns drawn from real history and from fantasy works, among them the Carnyx and horns from The Lord of the Rings. Horn calls resonate across the land, and the sound is the whole effect, with no extra mechanics attached.

The horns suit medieval-themed modpacks and multiplayer groups that want a way to announce an arrival or rally allies. Installation needs only the mod file on Forge for 1.20.1. War Horns! is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
