Horizon 2026.10.16.04: Skip section face groups that face away from the eye and 22 more fixes — release notes

· v2026.10.16.04 · bd8dff2076 · GitHub ↗

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.
