Horizon 2026.10.22.09: perf and 6 more fixes — release notes

· v2026.10.22.09 · 67277d4571 · 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

  • Fix Q drop animation with an empty hand (#1247)
  • Fix hand animation for rejected block placements (#1248)
  • Fix in-world menu background blur (#1249)
  • Fix slash-command argument suggestions after connecting (#1250)
  • Fix firework tooltip translations (#1251)
  • Skip unchanged End surface traversal for 11–13% faster chunk loading (#1264)
  • perf(client): cache weather column direction table (#1234)

Thanks to @rdbtCVS.

This is an alpha build: launchers on the Alpha channel (Settings, Updates) install it now; Stable gets it in the next daily update if it holds up.

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.
