A server mod runs where the world is simulated. Its manifest says side =
"server" and api = "0.3" (only a server mod may), and its component targets
the new WIT world horizon-server-mod:
- imports log and storage as client mods do, and the new capability players:
online() (id, name, position, dimension, game mode, health), tell(id, text),
broadcast(text), 8 lines per call shared with chat;
- exports server-events: init, tick, player-joined, player-left, chat, command
(with the player who typed it; its feedback goes back to that player),
block-broken and block-placed (with the block state as text).
horizon-mods: a second bindgen world sharing log and storage with the first;
a running mod holds either kind of hooks; Mods::load_for(Runs) starts only the
mods a game runs (the window client mods, the world's server server mods,
in-frame single player both) and marks the others Elsewhere. Client and server
commands are owned separately. The game passes Runs::Client for now, so
nothing changes in game until its server code calls these hooks.
The SDK gains horizon_mod_sdk::server (ServerMod, Registration,
export_server_mod!), the example server mod welcome (greets, announces
newcomers kept in storage, /online, /mined), and cargo horizon-mod check's
trial run plays a server mod with a player joining, chatting, typing its
commands and leaving. The manifest refuses client capabilities on a server
mod and players on a client mod. The generated reference, the guide, the
portal and the stability table describe it.

docs/api/mods.md gets "Ways in": one API (the WIT world) and one sandbox
(WebAssembly) for every language. Rust is first-class; Lua scripts are
planned, run by an interpreter that is itself a WebAssembly mod linked with
the script's capabilities only, with hot reload of the script; C, C++, Zig,
TinyGo, AssemblyScript and JavaScript/TypeScript are to be evaluated, each
listed with its cost measured against Rust.
Server mods are their own line (api 0.3); block entities are no longer
tied to a draft. Promotion to stable: the orchestrator proposes with the
evidence, Ludovic approves.

docs/api/ gets one page per surface other programs build on (mods,
shaders, agent control, servers, the launcher, data formats), each with an
overview measured from the source, the guide, the generated reference, examples,
its stability, what is not there yet and a changelog, plus the policy every
API follows (docs/api/stability.md): a version per API, semver lines,
experimental / preview / stable, deprecation windows, compatibility tests and
the level of every part today.
The website gets a "Build on Horizon" page (website/docs/apis.md) that
summarises them and links the repository's pages.
