Before you update

• Distant Horizons users: Tellus now needs Distant Horizons 3.3 or newer. Use the Tellus build (3.3.4-tellus.1) for your Minecraft version and loader, and replace the old jar: https://github.com/Yucareux/Tellus/releases/tag/distant-horizons-3.3.4-tellus.1
• Terrain changes only apply to newly generated chunks. Delete your old Distant Horizons data to see the new distant terrain.

New

• Minecraft 26.3 support (Fabric, and NeoForge), with 26.3's Dappled Forest mixed into cool continental forests and a new Add Abandoned Camps setting (off by default).
• Landmarks: the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge are now detailed 3D models.
• Rebuilt rivers and lakes: rivers follow the valley floor and never flow uphill, waterfalls form where the land drops, and banks keep their natural shape.
• Lake Freezing (on by default): lakes freeze and thaw with the real-world temperature. Rivers and the sea no longer freeze.
• Distant Horizons now shows city lights at night (new LOD City Lights Distance setting) and coral reefs, kelp forests and seagrass under the sea.

Improvements

• Distant Horizons terrain loads faster and keeps generating while you play or fly, and Tellus uses much less memory.
• Distant mountains, snow, trees, water and biome borders now match the chunks that replace them.
• More natural mountains: highland and alpine ground sits around the real local treeline, with scree, rock outcrops, snow patches and glacier ice.
• Forests, towns and climate zones meet in natural curves instead of pixel staircases, with fewer stray badlands and wrongly snowy biomes.
• Buildings match their real height, and zebra crossings run properly across the road.
• Map teleports no longer freeze the server and show a progress bar while the destination loads (turn it off with the Teleport Progress setting).

Removed

• The Ultra Fast LODs mode (worlds using it switch to Fast LODs) and the LOD Water Resolver setting.
• Explorer maps from chests and cartographer trades, because finding their targets froze the game. Treasure maps and /locate still work.

Fixes

• New worlds use the right height limits from their first session, fixing Distant Horizons terrain floating after a relog and terrain cut off above Y 431 (mostly on servers).
• Fixed Sable (Create Aeronautics) sub-levels losing their collisions and physics. Increase Height is unavailable while Sable is installed.
• Ocean monuments generate in one piece.
• Chunks generated while a download failed are filled in later instead of staying flat.
• Fixed /setworldspawn resetting on restart, cache files sometimes failing to load on Windows, and the cache screen not counting or deleting some terrain files.
