The home page's "At a glance" list gets a fifth row with how many play right now, read from
https://telemetry.playhorizon.dev/v1/live (3 s timeout, again every minute while the tab is
visible). It stays hidden while nobody plays or the server doesn't answer. The FAQ no longer
says the "I'm playing" ping is off: the server is live since #1276.

- /releases: every game and launcher release on one page, newest first, Stable / Alpha / Launcher marked and
filterable. The newest three are open; each shows what it added and fixed, the full notes, its downloads and
a link to GitHub. Baked at build time, refreshed from GitHub when a newer release is out. /releases#release-<tag>
opens one.
- Home: "Recently added" replaces the patch notes block: the last five releases on one line each and three
highlights from what they added.
- /benchmarks: Horizon against vanilla Java Edition 26.3 measured on our machines (average FPS, 1% lows, p95
frame time, start to world, chunk loads, memory, at render distance 12 and 32), saying where Java is ahead;
a GPU + CPU picker that shows a measurement when there is one and otherwise a marked estimate with a range,
from our own spec table (method explained on the page); players' results read live from the telemetry
server's GET /v1/benchmarks/summary, falling back to the baked public/benchmarks.json, groups of 3+ installs
only.
- scripts/benchmarks.mjs builds public/benchmarks.json from our reports (and, for tests, telemetry items) with
the same rules as the server; fixtures shared with the server's test.
- Releases and Benchmarks in the nav and footer; docs/performance.md links the page.
- Pixelify Sans' "fi" ligature drew "fixes" as "Axes": common ligatures off.

The pause menu's Friends icon is recorded as a widget, so a controller
reaches it and the control socket names it. The sharing screen's long help
URL ran off the screen: a Troubleshooting... button beside Done opens it,
and the hint drops out when it would reach the footer. The graphics docs
say what the two Horizon screens hold (vanilla's own settings stay on Video
Settings).

Drop the Horizon menu style (options_horizon.rs, front.rs, the live title
backdrop and its post grade, the launcher's menu-style setting, CLI and MCP
tool). Every screen is vanilla's. Horizon's own settings hang off vanilla's
Options the way mods add theirs: Horizon Settings... and Mods... take the
Telemetry/Credits slots, and Horizon Settings opens Graphics, Advanced
Graphics, Shader Packs, Controller Settings, Extras and Mods, each a vanilla
options list with tooltips. Play with friends moves behind vanilla's Friends
buttons: the pause menu's opens Play with Friends (share, copy, stop), the
title screen's opens Join a Friend, and Direct Connection takes a full code.
Old files load as before: horizon.txt's menuStyle line and
horizon-graphics.txt's level line are ignored.

Importing a modpack from the Mods page (or `mods install`) now ports it right away
for the selected version, so Play works straight after. port-pack leaves a
namespace two carried mods both claim to none of them (YUNG's mods all ship
`yungsapi`, which made the game drop three of them), and the launcher applies
the game's first-wins rule before it starts a pack, listing what it left off.
Measured on Vanilla Perfected, Slimes Adventure and All the Mods 10 (docs/modpacks.md):
2, 20 and 42 mods ported, every world loads, no crash.

Ludovic dropped CurseForge for now (its API needs a paid key). The Mods page shows
"CurseForge (coming soon)" beside the Modrinth switch, disabled and inert;
browser::sources() is Modrinth only, so no search or install goes to CurseForge,
and `--source curseforge` says it is coming soon. Text that asked for a key or
an environment variable now says CurseForge support is coming soon. Importing a
CurseForge zip or instance still works; jars only CurseForge serves are listed
as "CurseForge downloads coming soon".

The Mods page gets a Mods tab: Fabric, NeoForge, Forge and Quilt mods for 26.3
(1.21 and later with Show everything). Each result's jar is downloaded (allowed
CDNs, checksum), checked with horizon-port-pack (Works, Partly, Doesn't run, with
what ports and what doesn't) and the answer cached per file. Install copies the
carry into horizon-mods/<id>/ and turns it on in horizon-mods.txt, with required
mods that port; libraries with nothing to port are listed as not ported; id or
namespace clashes are refused. Remove deletes it and turns it off.
The Modpacks page becomes the Mods page's Modpacks tab: imported packs first,
then the search. CLI: mods search --kind mod, mods check <project>.

The whole of Horizon is in beta, so the channel that installs every build as
soon as it is built is called Alpha; Stable keeps its name. The launcher's
Settings, the update-channel command, the MCP tool, the release notes footer
and the docs say Alpha. update_channel is saved as "alpha"; "nightly" and the
old beta_builds switch still read as Alpha.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Mods page (launcher 0.17) replaces "a mod browser is planned"; the Horizon
shader format is no longer called planned; Nightly-only things say Nightly.
The "I'm playing" ping has no server (DEFAULT_ENDPOINT is None), so the FAQ and
the privacy page say it is off instead of sent. The channel switch says it
needs the launcher release after 0.17. The README says what deploys the site.

On a Mac without a JDK, preparing failed with "Java 25 is needed ...
/usr/bin/javac -version printed no version: Unable to locate a Java
Runtime": /usr/bin/javac is macOS's placeholder. Mojang's Java runtimes
are whole JDKs, javac included (java-runtime-epsilon is 25.0.1 on every
platform), and the official launcher has already downloaded one for
anyone who played 26.3.
- horizon-prepare: java::find also tries Minecraft's runtimes
(<game dir>/runtime/<component>/<platform>/<component>, jre.bundle on
macOS) and the launcher's pick (Options::java_home), and names the
macOS placeholder for what it is.
- launcher: when no JDK is found, downloads the runtime the version JSON
names (javaVersion.component) from Mojang into its own game folder,
every file checked against its sha1, executables and links as the
official launcher lays them out. A version's own preparer binary or
Python script gets it through JAVA_HOME and the PATH.
Checked for real on Linux: the download is 147 files, its javac 25.0.1
compiles and runs a class with --release 25.

The daily promotion moves to 20:00 UTC (21:00 in Paris in winter time):
PROMOTE_AT and promote.yml's cron (20:07, retries until 21:37), with the docs
that give the time. A launcher left open on Nightly looks for new releases
every 30 minutes; Stable keeps 4 hours. The launcher README's Settings
screenshot shows the Updates choice.

The launcher's "Beta builds" switch becomes an Updates choice of two channels,
stored as "update_channel": "stable" | "nightly" (an old "beta_builds": true
reads as nightly). The CLI (update-channel) and MCP (update_channel) show and
set it, and list each release's channel as stable or nightly.
Nightly ships constantly: the release train waits 5 minutes for a merge wave to
settle (20 at most) instead of 15 (an hour). Stable moves once a day:
promote.yml runs at 19:00 UTC (retries until 20:37) and promotes the newest beta
that had been out 6 hours by 19:00, so late runs and retries pick the same one.
The stalled-promotion issue waits 30 hours. Release notes, docs, the website's
install and FAQ pages say Stable and Nightly.

The game sends an anonymous ping once a minute while it runs (a random
session ID kept only in memory, the version, the platform, whether a LAN
or friends world is open). The telemetry server counts sessions seen in
the last 2 minutes, in memory only, with its own per-address rate limit
and a session cap, and serves rounded counts at GET /v1/live. The
launcher shows "N playing now" on the Play page when the count is
reachable, and tells players what the ping holds on the first-run
question, in Settings, and once on the Play page for players who
answered before. docs/telemetry.md and the privacy page say the same.
Like the rest of telemetry, nothing is sent until HORIZON_TELEMETRY_URL
is set or DEFAULT_ENDPOINT gets a server.

.github/release-line.txt = 0.2: the release train's next runs publish v0.2.0 (a beta, as always)
and launcher@0.2.0 at once, "the first release of 0.2" (docs/versioning.md). Merge it only after
the bridges (the last dated game release, made stable, and launcher-v0.17.0) are out: the go-day
steps are in docs/versioning.md.
Also, because they say 0.2 is out: the site's FAQ explains the numbers, Install says an old launcher
updates twice, hosting.md gives the one command for a server that says it is up to date, and the
launcher's Cargo.toml says 0.2.0 so builds from source (packages) are on the 0.2 line.

/docs has a left navigation and eleven pages written for players first, then
hosters, then contributors: what Horizon is, install, settings, multiplayer,
logs and bug reports, hosting (the launcher's Servers page and the command
line), modpacks, mods and data packs, performance, contributing and the FAQ.
/server redirects to /docs/hosting. The build checks every link between the
pages and every image.
