Loading the eight carried-over mods in the game (not only the probe) showed
two limits real packs reach. Block textures past 2048 layers are another PR;
this one handles block states and measures a pack.
- Chunk sections store a block state in 16 bits. Vanilla 26.3 has 35,723
states; Macaw's four mods add 36,154, the eight 41,389. Past 65,536 ids
wrapped onto other blocks (a trapdoor became a hanging sign).
mod_content::build now refuses a set of mods past MAX_STATES and names the
states per mod; the game then starts without content mods, as for any
refused content.
- tools/mod_port_harness.py probes each mod on its own against vanilla, as a
player adding it would load it.
- tools/perf_bench.py --game neoforge: Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge 21.1.259
with --mod-jars and --deps, driven by a dev-only NeoForge port of the bench
mod (mods/horizon/src/neoforge-bench); --port-work loads a work folder's
carried-over mods into Horizon. tools/neoforge_oracle.py installs the
client once under .local/neoforge-oracle (the installer, then the vanilla
libraries it inherits, sha1-checked) and builds the driver. A NeoForge
start that crashes before the driver loads (FML reading fml.toml while
creating it) is retried once.
Measured (docs/modpacks.md): six ported mods in Horizon against the same
mods on NeoForge, Mac mini M4 Pro, 2 games per row on a loaded machine. The
world is ready 3.1x sooner at 8 and 16 chunks, the flights run 1.7x and
3.6x the frames, and Horizon's RSS is not lower (+1.1 GB with the mods).

The harness the modpack design calls for, for data-tier mods:
- tools/neoforge_oracle.py installs a NeoForge 21.1.259 server (ATM10's)
under .local/neoforge-oracle, builds the exporter in
mods/horizon/src/neoforge-oracle (our code, never shipped), runs it
headless with the user's jars and writes every block (class chain,
states, per-state hardness, light, tool need, map colour, sounds,
outline and collision; drops for hand, diamond tools, shears and silk
touch; placement; BlockSetType and WoodType), item, recipe and tag of
the mods' namespaces, plus the vanilla blocks for templates. About 30 s.
- examples/mod_port_probe.rs builds the content root from the carried
mods and dumps what Horizon's loaders make of the same things.
- tools/mod_port_harness.py compares them per mod and writes
<work>/mods/<id>/harness/result.json. 1.21.1 sound events map to 26.3's
through vanilla blocks both have, and vanilla items newer than 1.21.1
are not counted against a recipe.
On ATM10's own jars (MIT): Macaw's Trapdoors passes everything; Doors,
Fences, Paths, Glassential, Factory Blocks and Cloud Glass pass every
drop, recipe, tag and placement and fail only on what API 0.2 cannot say
(shapes and sound events of their own, blocks of classes no vanilla block
shares). Jars, facts and results stay in the work folder.
