Bard
Group buffs, music, and spell support.
Impact: Medium
Best for: Players who enjoy buffing groups, using goat horns, supporting spellcasters, and staying mobile.
Bards use music to grant powerful area effects. They also support Sound and Nature spellcasting, but gain less experience and consume hunger more quickly.

Common Questions
Use the matching goat horn normally. The instrument stored in the horn's data determines which Bard effect activates.
Each vanilla goat horn instrument is assigned its own Bard power. The sound variant matters, not merely the item name.
No. The aura targets other players from 1 to 20 blocks away and excludes the Bard.
Press Primary Active. The toggle remembers its state.
Not the Smartest reduces all XP gains by 35%.
No. Those attributes require the matching spell and familiar libraries. Missing required attributes can also create datapack loading errors depending on the installed mod set.
