The launcher installs and updates the game — no need to grab these archives by hand. You need your own Minecraft: Java Edition.
Binaries removed (licence cleanup, see #6741); tags and source remain.
New
- Entity shadows: no more z-fighting with chicken feet and other model feet (#1470)
- Text: the glyph cache hashes chars with Fx instead of SipHash (#1471)
- Fishing on a server's players: a hook per player, ticked on the server and drawn by its clients (#1509, fixes #1348)
- Maps on a server's players: each holder's map ticks on the server and its data reaches them (#1510, fixes #1382)
- A server's player's client sets its body as in frame: look pitch, use slowdown, boots on powder snow (#1511, fixes #1278)
- Strikes and mob effects reach a server's players: lightning, evoker fangs, poison, axolotls (#1512, fixes #1480)
- Closing a menu puts a server's player's cursor stack back into their inventory (#1513, fixes #1283)
- Single player runs on its server thread by default again; --in-frame is the opt-out (#1514)
Install or update it from the Horizon launcher: it installs new versions by itself. New here? Get the launcher at https://playhorizon.dev. You need your own copy of Minecraft: Java Edition.
