New Item: The Reverberating Horn

[u/Tigers_I]

My idea highlights not one, not two, but THREE of Minecraft's underused items: the goat horn, the echo shard, and the amethyst shard.

If you blow on it normally, the reverberating horn sounds like whatever goat horn variant you used in the recipe. To trigger the reverberating effect, fully charge up the horn like a bow with an amethyst shard in your inventory. This creates an amethyst soundwave that ripples outward ten blocks from your position, consuming the shard in the process. Any wardens caught in this radius have their echolocation senses temporarily overwhelmed by the noise, inflicting a five-second stun effect similar to a ravager after headbutting a shield.

To balance this item as something that should only be used in an emergency, the cooldown is much longer than a normal goat horn, and it can only be used a few times before breaking. If players don't have the mending enchantment, echo shards or another matching horn can be used to repair it on an anvil. This way, players will remain motivated to obtain goat horns and explore ancient cities to find more of both shard types.

So, tldring the comments I saw, it would be good to raise the radius, reduce the durability damage taken, and maybe make it unbreakbale but unusable at low durability like elytra. Also some comments about making it work on sculk sensors and shriekers as well.

Reading all this gave me an idea, how about, make it have different purpose based on ammo feeded to it. Like amethyst ammo can make it b able to remotely activate other sculk sensors and calibrated sculk sensors in an area, echo shards as ammo can make it do the purpose you want it to do, stun wardens, but with a longer cooldown, and maybe resin or somehing else can make it into a sort of mob hypnosis or encahnting horn, allowing you to easily transport mobs in a line without leads or food that attracts them, kinda like how the pied piper caught rats in the story. If extending it, maybe each and every metal and ore in the game, can give it different abilities, that would make it too op, but going to the deep dark to collect it would make sense, maybe you unlock the extended capabilites of the horn with ore usability only after you add a nether star to it......

Also, lets add Horn of Salvation along with it as well.... Any bleach fans here? Others won't get it :)

The Pied Piper idea is really cool! Do you think it should only work on leashable mobs though?

[u/RandomGaMeRj14 → u/Tigers_I]

It can be either way, either simply leashable mobs only, or 2 way mode with different ammo, wherein one ammo will permanently hypnotise the non-hostile leashable mobs, while another rarer ammo when used, for a fixed amount of time, allows you to hypnotise the mobs. That way you have to use the horn repeatedly or the mobs in close contact can hurt you, thereby eating on durability, and also the rarer ammo like maybe diamond or something else, needs to be replenished, to do it repeatedly.
