  • Play with friends (3/3): Join a friend with the code alone, in game and in the launcher; end-to-end harness (#200)
  • Controllers: focus navigation in menus, on-screen keyboard, menu navigation option (#241)

Fixed

  • Add the F3+F4 game mode switcher (#266, fixes #209)
  • Prevent climbable blocks from slowing spectator flight (#262)
  • Clip options rows smoothly at list boundaries (#259)
  • Prevent block interactions through targeted entities (#268, fixes #217)

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.
