Generated loot
Copper horns were found in pillager outpost chests at a 25% chance.
Usage
Copper horns were used to play sounds. They took one second to use and had a four second cooldown. There were ten variations of copper horns, and each of them played three different sounds: when looking up, crouching, or neither of those. In total, there were thirty different sounds that could be played using copper horns. The sound a copper horn played was based on multiple conditions, which are in order as follows:
- If crouching, the bass tune was played.
- Else, if looking up (by 45 degrees), the harmony tune was played.
- Else, the melody tune was played.
Sounds
Sound names in the item tooltip are created using the harmony, melody, and bass sounds in that order.

Although community feedback was mostly positive, the Copper Horn was a fun experiment that didn't quite live up to our design goals, so we decided to remove it. We understand people might be sad, but to be able to try out new and interesting things we need to be able to remove experimental features sometimes. This leaves space for even better features in the future!"
- ↑ "There aren't future plans outside of it just being diverse instruments. They're more of a social feature than a gameplay feature.
One thing it can do with the normal goat horn is that you can hear the sound from very far away, so it can be used to locate your friends on a server" – @kingbdogz on X (formerly Twitter), March 16, 2022
