Horizon 2026.10.19.11: Far terrain — release notes

· v2026.10.19.11 · a43620023d · 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

  • Far terrain: no faces for caves nothing can see into (-36% far quads) (#993)
  • Far terrain: bounded render-thread work while tiles generate (#994)
  • Far terrain: capped on integrated GPUs, held back on 4-thread machines (#995)

Fixed

  • Far terrain: no dark band at the full-detail edge, no black cliffs (#992)

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.
