AI Summary

Arnis expands its reach beyond Earth with the 'Horizon Update,' adding Moon and Mars generation using NASA elevation archives. The update introduces Mapillary facades for buildings, improves performance for large areas, and enhances customization options like custom world names and Georgian localization.

Key Highlights

  • Interplanetary Exploration: New Moon and Mars worlds built with NASA elevation data.
  • Visual Enhancements: 113 building facade styles imported from Mapillary.
  • Performance Improvements: Faster generation for large areas and optimized memory usage.
  • Enhanced Customization: Custom world names for Java and Georgian language support.

New Features

  • Moon and Mars planetary generation with real craters and terrain.
  • Mapillary facade integration for realistic building exteriors.
  • Precomputation of Voxy LODs for better world loading.
  • Custom world naming for Java worlds.
  • Georgian localization support.

Arnis goes interplanetary. The map toolbar now switches between Earth, the Moon and Mars. The two new worlds are built from NASA's elevation archives with real craters, canyons and the Martian polar caps. Back home, every building can now wear a photographed facade, picked out of a bundled set of 113 by what kind of building it is, so an office block looks like an office block and a warehouse like a warehouse. Larger areas now generate faster on less memory. Voxy LODs can be pre-generated with the world, Java worlds can take a name you pick, and the extended build height datapack works better with realistic elevation.
