Where to Find Goat Horn
Goat Horn can turn up across Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks, Snowy Slopes, and Meadow, so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. Goats spawn in Mountain biomes (Meadow, Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks, Snowy Slopes). Stand between a Goat and a solid block (like stone or wood) so it charges at you and hits the block. The main non-crafting route is looting it from generated structure chests.

Best Way to Get Goat Horn
The most efficient method is straightforward — get it as a drop when a Goat rams into a solid block. Screaming Goats (rare variant) drop exclusive horn types not obtainable otherwise. There are 8 horn variants total; 4 from regular goats and 4 from screaming goats. Use to play a horn sound audible from far away; useful for signaling other players. Because it is chest loot, the fastest gains come from locating the specific structures listed above and clearing their chests rather than relying on chance encounters. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.19 (The Wild Update).
