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
- Far Detail: opt-in Reduced far terrain, suggested on integrated GPUs (HD 620: GPU −2.4 to −4.3 ms) (#1199)
- Animated block textures on the GPU: frames uploaded once, no per-tick CPU blend or copies (1% lows 1.7-2.4x on Intel) (#1239)
- Horizon Settings > AI Agent: agent control on or off, connection status, copy the details (#1353)
Fixed
- Random ticks: tick a section only while it holds a randomly ticking block or fluid (vanilla's count, not the palette) (#1256)
This is an alpha build: launchers on the Alpha channel (Settings, Updates) install it now; Stable gets it in the next daily update if it holds up.
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.
