How to get goat horns in Minecraft and use them

Goat horns in Minecraft are an interesting item that many players do not even know exists. The item was added with the 1.19 update, which was released in 2022, so relatively, it is a new item. The other reason why goat horns are so obscure is because of their limited use.

Horns are the only thing dropped by goats, and these mobs can be found in the topmost areas of the mountain biome during the daytime, spawning in groups of two or three. Minecraft has a lot of interesting items that help you communicate with other players, but perhaps the easiest one to use is the goat horn. In this article, we will explain all there is to know about goat horns: how to get them and, most importantly, how to use them.

Goat horns are unique items in the game that are dropped by goats. Goats were a recent addition to the game, and while this mob is passive, they often charge and attack other mobs around them, including the player.

Since they are found at elevated regions such as mountaintops, it is better to be careful around them or else you might end up falling from a height after getting rammed by the goat. If you are having trouble finding mountains, feel free to use one of our best Minecraft seeds with mountain biomes to find goats easily.

How to Get Goat Horns in Minecraft? Explained

Here’s something interesting about goats: they are passive mobs who do not attack, but every thirty seconds or so, they charge towards a player or any nearby mob. This is important to know because that’s how you can get the goat horn.

A goat will charge towards a mob (including players) and hard blocks around them. These hard blocks include stone, coal ore, iron ore, emerald ore, copper ore, packed ice, and wood logs. Goats will not charge at other blocks.

1) Head towards the goat

Move towards the goat so that they can charge and hit the blocks. It would be better not to be too close to them as they might charge towards you and ram into you. The goat needs to be around a mob to ram into something.

2) Wait for a goat to ram on solid blocks

Once the goat hits these blocks, they snap their horns and drop them. That’s how you can get goat horns. Unfortunately, you cannot use shears or other tools to get the horn. All you need to do is wait for the goat to ram into something.

3) Collect the goat horns

After the horns snap, all you need to do is collect them. There are different types of goat horns that you can collect. However, a goat will drop two horns of the same type and never two different types at once. Let’s look at the different types of goat horns in Minecraft.

oming to the use of goat horn, it can be used for one thing: making a loud sound that can be heard from a distance. A goat horn can be heard from as far as 256 blocks away from the source. This makes the goat horn very useful when it comes to communication with other players who are far away from you.

The goat horns have a cooldown of seven seconds, meaning that you will have to wait for seven seconds after using the horn to make the sound again. Apart from the sound, all the goat horns are exactly the same. Perhaps with the upcoming Minecraft 1.21 update that brings the mace weapon, you can get the goat horn and the mace to turn into an epic Vikings warrior.
