Horizon 2026.10.18.15: Natural spawning reads a kept WORLD_SURFACE heightmap and 3 more changes — release notes

· v2026.10.18.15 · 6c078b2852 · 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

  • Structure starts: a sharded cache, so the server thread stops waiting on workers (#872)
  • Natural spawning reads a kept WORLD_SURFACE heightmap (#873)

Fixed

  • fix(game): finish every consumable as vanilla's Consumable.onConsume (milk, honey, chorus fruit) (#799)
  • Server thread: horizon-ctl tp and fly make the server load the new chunks (#861) (#888, fixes #861)

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.
