Gears Beyond the Horizon

Gears Beyond the Horizon 0.1.0 Beta 7 - 25 October 2026

• Fixed an Expanded Cave Sounds 0.1.0 crash caused by reading an unresolved sound's volume and pitch. Cave sounds remain enabled.
• Corrected the additional cave-spawn depth filters. Bonuses now increase by 4 percentage points per 100 blocks: +4% at Y -100, +8% at -200, +12% at -300, +16% at -400 and +20% at -500.
• Additional cave spawns stop when the counted monster population reaches 100. The 32-block minimum distance and line-of-sight safeguards remain.
• Disabled Born in Chaos Rotten Stink and remove already-active instances. Other effects are unchanged.
• Silenced milk-bucket and anvil item-selection sounds. Normal cow and anvil world sounds remain.
• Updated the dated English/German main-menu changelog and installed-version update check.

Includes Gears Beyond the Horizon Additions Beta 4. All previous gameplay components, the Explorer's Handbook, official texture-pack references and Photon settings preset are retained. Existing mobs are not removed to force the new spawn threshold. Actual spawn counts still depend on lighting, available spaces and normal spawn limits. Update manually through CurseForge. Back up important worlds before updating a beta pack. More improvements are in progress. Feedback is welcome in the CurseForge comments! Gears Beyond the Horizon 0.1.0 Beta 7 - 25 October 2026

If you previously installed the standalone gears-cave-sound-fix-0.1.0.jar or gears-balance-fix-0.1.0.jar manually, remove those standalone copies when updating: both fixes are now included in Additions Beta 4.
