Horizon 2026.10.16.07: Collision scans, data packs, villagers, mobs — release notes

· v2026.10.16.07 · b4ad65386c · 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.

Fixed

  • Mobs: shape only the cells that can support them (−11 % tick time) (#506)
  • Mobs: find the mobs to push through a grid, not a scan of every mob (−14 % tick time) (#508)
  • Villagers: each block state's POI type from a table built once (−11 % CPU at world load) (#509)
  • Data packs: walk only the folders functions, tags and predicates live in (#524)
  • Collision scans: skip blocks with no shape, build the entity shape lazily (−6 % tick time) (#507)

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.
