Natural generation
Copper horns were found in pillager outpost chests.
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.

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
