Goats in Minecraft
Goats are neutral mountain animals that perform long and high jumps and drop goat horns when rammed. These horns make sounds and turn goats into exciting farm and role-play animals.

Screaming goats ram more often and are therefore more efficient for horn farms
Tips

Keep goats in enclosures with solid walls (e.g. stone blocks) to make it easier to farm goat horns

If a goat jumps particularly high, it may be a screaming goat - easily recognizable by sounds
