Horizon: Minecraft Java Edition 26.3, rewritten in Rust
=========================================================
Horizon is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with, endorsed by or
connected to Mojang Studios or Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang
and Microsoft. This package contains none of Minecraft's code, textures or
sounds: you need your own copy of Minecraft Java Edition, and Horizon uses the
files from it.
What you need
- Minecraft Java Edition, bought and installed with the official launcher,
with version 26.3 downloaded at least once (play it once from the launcher).
- The 26.3 server jar, downloaded yourself from
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server while 26.3 is the current
release (or from the downloads.server.url in your launcher's
versions/26.3/26.3.json). Only needed for the first start.
- Python 3.10 or newer.
- Java 25 (a JDK, e.g. Eclipse Temurin 25).
- A graphics driver with Vulkan (Linux, Windows) or any Apple Silicon Mac.
First start (once, a few minutes)
1. Open a terminal in this folder.
2. Run: python3 tools/prepare_native_client.py --prepare --server-jar PATH/TO/server.jar
(on Windows: py tools\prepare_native_client.py --prepare --server-jar PATH\TO\server.jar)
It reads the game files from your own Minecraft installation and writes
the resources Horizon needs into .local/ in this folder. If your launcher
keeps the game elsewhere, add --minecraft-dir PATH.
3. Optional, for sound: python3 tools/fetch_sounds.py
It copies the game's sounds from your launcher's install in the same way.
Play
Linux: ./horizon-client
macOS: ./horizon-client (first time: right-click > Open, or
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine horizon-client)
Windows: horizon-client.exe
Run it from this folder. horizon-client --help lists the options
(render distance, world, seed, joining a server...).
Controls: mouse look, WASD move, Space jump, Left Shift sneak, Left Ctrl
sprint, left click break, right click place/use, 1-9 or scroll for the hotbar,
E inventory, Q drop, F1 hide the HUD, F3 debug, Esc pause.
