Well, you can now use your beloved goat horn like a war horn.

Enchantments cannot be combined, one horn can only have one enchantment.

Due to the limitations of datapacks, you cannot directly enchant them in an enchantment table. The best way of acquiring one of these enchantments, is to enchant books and look for unusual enchantments.

Disable select enchantment

If you dislike one enchantment you can make it unobtainable in survival

Step 1:

📦data
 ┣ 📂swizz
 ┃ ┣ 📂tags
 ┃ ┃ ┣ 📂enchantment
 ┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜enabled_enchantments.json

Remove the line containing your specified enchantment from the list.
Make sure the last line has no , symbol at the end or it will cause an error

Step 2:

📦data
 ┣ 📂swizz
 ┃ ┣ 📂function
 ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜wandering_trade.mcfunction

Scroll to the bottom of the file and look for a line ending with the enchantment you desire.
Remove the line, or preferably place a # symbol at the very start of the line. This will “comment” out the line, meaning the enchantment can’t be added to the wandering trader’s trading table.

Make sure you put the # symbol at the very start of the line, or it can cause an error

Other notes

Do not modify the horn_effect advancement for a player, this would make it so the effects of your enchantments do not trigger.
This should not happen during normal gameplay
If a player has it granted to them permanently, revoke the advancement for said player. Unless you want said player to not have access to the effects of their enchantments
