Minecraft goat mobs confirmed to be voiced by real, screaming goats

Goats are newer Minecraft mobs that Mojang introduced in the Caves & Cliffs update part I. In version 1.17, users can find goats in any mountain biome, but this will change in the upcoming Caves & Cliffs update part II.

Goats are neutral mobs when the game's difficulty is above easy. They can jump up to a height of ten blocks when they have to cross an obstacle while strolling in the mountains.

Because of their tendency to jump, the developers of Minecraft have designed them to sustain ten health points of less fall damage than other mobs.

Mojang reveals that Minecraft goats were voiced by real goats

Minecraft has a unique variant of goats that screams instead of making the normal goat sounds. The chance of a screaming goat spawning is only 2%.

Players cannot distinguish between a screaming and a normal goat by appearance because they look the same.

In one of their recent videos titled "Secrets of Caves & Cliffs Part I", Mojang revealed some hidden information about the screaming goats in Minecraft. They disclosed that the screaming goats' voice was 50% screams of a real person and 50% of a real goat.
