Getting Goat Horn (Seek) in Survival Mode
Finding a Pillager Outpost
The easiest way to get Goat Horn (Seek) is from a Pillager Outpost. These structures spawn naturally in the same biomes as villages. You can find them anywhere a village generates.
Use the command /locate pillager_outpost to quickly find one nearby.
Getting to the Chest
Head to the top of the watchtower in the center of the outpost. You’ll find a chest up there with loot inside.
Opening the Chest
Open the chest and look for a goat horn. There’s roughly a 50% chance it will have one. The outpost chest can contain four types: Ponder, Sing, Seek, or Feel.
If you don’t find Seek, just raid another outpost and try again.
Getting from Goats
Goats will also drop a random goat horn when they ram into blocks or other mobs. This is less reliable than the outpost method, but it works if you’re exploring mountains anyway.
