Horizon 2026.10.16.12: horizon-bots and tools/server_bench.py and 3 more changes — release notes

· v2026.10.16.12 · f535d1b48c · 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.

New

  • horizon-server: server.toml, init, and a supervisor that runs the game (#551)
  • horizon-server: start, stop, status, cmd and logs through a local control API (#552)
  • horizon-server: backups, restore and automatic backups (#553)
  • horizon-server: install scripts, a Docker image, and boot services (#554)
  • horizon-server: the web panel (#555)
  • horizon-bots and tools/server_bench.py: the first server benchmark against vanilla (#556)

Fixed

  • Apply falling anvil impact damage and wear (#528, fixes #399)
  • Fix main build: falling anvil wear reads blocks from self.pack (#572)
