The launcher installs and updates the game — no need to grab these archives by hand. You need your own Minecraft: Java Edition.
New
- Shield blocks: the player hears the block sound, not the hurt sound (#310)
- Shields turn arrows back, as vanilla does (#311, fixes #277)
- Crossbows load firework rockets from either hand; bows and crossbows take held arrows first (#312)
- Use the off hand when the main hand passes: place blocks, eat, charge anchors (#313)
- Show the off-hand item in first person (#314, fixes #276)
- Minecarts roll and rattle when ridden, and hits on vehicles sound (#315, fixes #227)
- Axes on copper: a shield in the off hand is raised first, and sculk sensors hear it (#317, fixes #222)
- Trial spawner state machine, checked against vanilla (#319)
- Trial spawners run in game (#320)
Known issues
- Sprint-jumping has been reported as broken, but we couldn't reproduce it. If it happens to you, describe it in #horizon-bugs on Discord.
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.
