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
- Structures: honour a carried mod's start and placement rules (#820)
- Region files: write each saved chunk in place, as vanilla's RegionFile (#827)
- Brewing stands tick in the level's block entity ticker list (#828)
- Block entity animations: read the drawn block entities only when they change (#829)
- Clients keep the light the server sends; the server sends light updates (#824)
Fixed
- Paletted container access: one palette probe per write, dispatched unpack (#761)
Thanks to @rdbtCVS.
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.
