Goat Horn and Avalanches

Blowing the Goat Horn would trigger nearby powder snow blocks to avalanche. Avalanching powder snow blocks would temporarily become gravity blocks and would fall until they landed on another block. They would also have a flowing property to them as well where if an air block was adjacent to the powder snow block and at least 2 y levels below the powder snow block then the snow block would "flow" to that lower coordinate. This would adhere to the core concept of disasters being triggered by player input. This mechanic would lend a hand in PvP and trap making, and also defending yourself against nearby mobs.

    This should also be able to be triggered by falling blocks, jumping from at least three blocks, mining a block or tnt and creeper explosions.

    I think it's a great idea, but would make the powdered snow turn into snowball items when blowing the horn. No need to do complicated coding to turn it into a gravity block and look 2 y-levels etc.. Just thinking we don't need to complicate the developers live too much 😉

    I think in an avalanche, if there is any ice, it should also temporarily become a gravity block and fall with the snow. If you got hit by ice, it would cause more damage than the snow would.

    Absolutely love this idea and I think they could implement it like this:

    -Goat horn has an avalanche triggering effect 15 block radius surrounding the player 

    -All powdered snow in that area will temporarily turn into a liquid for 3 seconds, before turning into ice (so you can't keep pressing the horn and triggering several avalanches). This would actually cause the player to move- like an actual avalanche would.

    -The liquid will act sort of like lava, where it flows and will move the player. But instead of fire damage, the liquid would give you the freezing effect. 

    -Having leather boots on will negate this effect, sort of like Frost-Walker. 

    Great idea!

    I think it would be easier and cooler if the noise of the horn made the nearby stalactites fall.
