The launcher installs and updates the game — no need to grab these archives by hand. You need your own Minecraft: Java Edition.

New

  • Relit chunks remesh only where their light changed (#352, fixes #270)
  • Save proto chunks on a worker, not the main thread (#353, fixes #224)
  • Cap a fresh install at vanilla's 120 FPS (#354)
  • Natural spawning skips air sections when finding the surface (#355)

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.
