Additions

Items

Goat horn

Added from Bedrock Edition.
Drops when a goat rams coal ore, emerald ore, iron ore, log, packed ice, or stone.
Can play a loud sound that can be heard from afar, with a cooldown around 7 seconds between each use.
Has 8 variants, each variant has its own unique sound.
- "Ponder", "Sing", "Seek", "Feel" can be obtained from the regular goats' ramming, or the chest in pillager outposts with a 50% chance.
- "Admire", "Call", "Yearn", "Dream" can only be obtained from the screaming goats' ramming.
- The variant of horn that a goat may drop is completely random.

Gameplay

Death messages

Added new death messages to wardens' ranged attack:
- "<player> was obliterated by a sonically-charged shriek"
- If a player or mob attacks the dead player before they die, the death message is "<player> was obliterated by a sonically-charged shriek whilst trying to escape <player/mob>".

General

Players are given a Mojang provided key-pair on startup.
