Types of Goat Horns and Their Sounds in Minecraft

Goat horns are an odd bonus item coming to the game with theMinecraft 1.19 Wild Update. No one saw them coming, but now everyone in the community is their fan. You can use the horns as a musical instrument, war signal, or just a cool mechanic in a game of hide and seek. I can already imagine players using goat horns in thebest Minecraft serversto send signals to each other. And what makes these goat horns even better is the potential they hold. With the ability to deliver multiple sounds, they can easily help you create a band in the game as well. So, without further ado, let’s explore the types of goat horns and how they sound in Minecraft right now!

Types of Goat Horns in Minecraft (2022)

We will first cover the mechanics of goat horns, including how to get one and where they spawn naturally. However, feel free to use the table below to directly skip to their types. You can use the attached music player to listen to each horn’s sound in this guide.

What is a Goat Horn in Minecraft

The goat horn is an interactive item in Minecraft, which is also the first official instrument in the game. Players can equip and play the horn to create loud sounds. Other players can listen to this sound from a reasonable distance, even at a low render distance.

At the moment, other mobs don’t care about the sound coming from the goat horn. But we expect future mob interactions to appear in the game soon, such as Allay following you around if you blow the goat horn.

Goat horns naturally spawn within the chests ofPillager Outposts.You can find these outposts in the following biomes:

Irrespective of where they spawn, each outpost chest has one goat horn. That goat horn can be one of the regular goat horn variants, which includePonder, Sing, Seek and Feel. The horn type is selected at random, with each horn type having equal chances of spawning. Not to forget, you can also use the same outposts tofind Allay in Minecraft.

The goat horn doesn’t have a crafting recipe in Minecraft. Instead, you have to make a goat ram its head into a few specific blocks to make it drop its horns. We have a dedicated guide onhow to get goat horns in Minecraft, which covers this process in detail. You can use the linked guide to get goat horns from a regular and a screaming goat.

Types of Goat Horns in Minecraft

Minecraft has a total of 8 unique types of goat horns. These include:

*Only dropped by a screaming goat

Each one of these horns looks exactly the same. But when you blow it, each horn makes a completely different sound. Let’s go over each of the goat horn sounds one at a time. All of the audios for goat horns are sourced fromMinecraft Wiki.

Minecraft Goat Horn Sounds

The Ponder goat horn makes a sound similar to medieval war horns. You can use it to declare war or to wake up everyone in yourMinecraft house.

Sound of the Sing goat horn is similar to a Ponder horn but is more rhythmic and can be used in a continuous loop.

Unlike the earlier two, Seek goat horn has a muffled sound that feels like it’s coming from a further location than its actual spot.

In the beginning, the Feel goat horn doesn’t even sound like a horn. It’s only in the end that we hear a sound similar to ship horns.

From this point onwards, all the goat horns are exclusively dropped by a screaming goat. These are rarer in nature and also sound much different from others. For instance, the Admire goat horn begins loud but gets muffled in between.

We are not sure about the intention behind this one, but the Call goat horn has the scariest audio. You can easily fit it within any horror-themedMinecraft adventure mapto scare players.

Depending on how you interpret it, the Yearn goat horn sounds like a continuous ship horn and a wild animal at the same time. In either case, it’s perfect to grab attention and confuse players.

Lastly, the Dream goat horn simply feels like a call-out to the listeners. It can be great to assemble your team, and it is loud enough to be heard from a long distance.

Find and Collect All Types of Goat Horns in Minecraft

Whether you want to create music or send signals to your friends on Minecraft servers, goat horns are here to help. If you somehow are able to collect all types of goat horns in Minecraft, you can even start a band on your own. Coordination and creating likable music is a different concern, though. Even with goat horns, we don’t have enough variety when it comes to musical instruments in-game. However, you can use one of thebest Minecraft modsto solve this issue. Just make sure toinstall Forge in Minecraftbefore trying to run any of these mods.

But if creating music feels like too much work, you can use the existing note blocks in Minecraft to create simpler tunes. They don’t deliver an experience as diverse as the goat horns, but you can use note blocks tomake automatic Allay farmsin Minecraft. So, they are definitely a worthy investment.
