Loudest Horn in the East

1.21+

Copper Horn is back. And it can be used to summon a horse from any location in the world.

• Firstly you need to bind the horse to your instrument with [Sneak+Use].
• Then you can call your horse by just tooting the horn.
• Different players can use the same sound for different horses, because the animal can tell who toots the horn somehow.
  • Probably due to slight differences in horn use (it would be hard to toot exactly like the other person).
• The horse remembers it's owner, so you can't bind the horse that's already bound to another player.

Note: you bind the horse to the sound, not to the horn itself. If you lose the horn, you can call the horse with new one, provided it has the same instrument.

1.21.10+ No longer has instruments - horn has single unique sound instead. Binds only one horse.
