A mod hands `run-quiet` a list of lines (at most 256 a call). In single
player they run as the player typing them would, with the player's source
made silent; on a Horizon server (it announces horizon:quiet_commands) they
go as one payload that the server runs the same way; on any other server
they fall back to chat commands, whose feedback shows. command.run is
unchanged.

`game.raycast(distance)` returns the first block along the player's view
(fluids pass), up to 1024 blocks: through the loaded chunks as the
crosshair's ray goes, then across the distant terrain's ground heights
(`Lod::ground`, from Stink-O's fork). The game casts it only while a running
mod imports the function. It is API level 2, so older Horizons refuse a mod
that calls it with "update Horizon".

What the official Minimap mod needs: a mod picks the corner, side, scale,
shape and turning, and the game draws the map as the minimap extra does,
from the same tiles (vanilla's map colours, the floor under roofs) within
its own frame budget. One map at a time, the first loaded mod's. A new
function and type, so mods built before it keep loading.

A new case in ui's widget variant stops every ui mod built before it from
loading: the runtime links a component only when each imported
function's types match exactly ("expected variant of 5 cases, found
4"), so the published FPS Counter and Keystrokes would break. Instead,
the game lists a mod's keys first on its page in Options > Mods, as Key
Binds rows, and a mod with keys gets a page even without ui. No WIT
type changes. docs/api/stability.md said a new case the mod sends isn't
breaking; it is, and now says so.

A ui page's key widget shows one of the mod's keys as Key Binds does
("Zoom: Z"). A click waits for the next key or mouse button, which
becomes the key; Esc binds none. The game keeps the choice in
horizon-mods.txt (key.<mod>.<name>:key.keyboard.z), applies it when
the mods load and to keys registered later, and lets a held key go when
it is rebound. register-key's key is now the default.

render.set-zoom divides the field of view by up to 10, eased through the
game's FOV easing or at once, with a turning scale (at least 0.05); only
while playing, and the spyglass's own view wins. The strongest of several
mods' zooms counts, and the built-in zoom keeps working beside it.
input.claim-wheel takes the wheel from the hotbar while playing: its steps
are the mod's wheel events. That is the one input a mod consumes; its keys
never do (docs/api/stability.md). A screen opening now lets the mod's held
keys up, and mod keys bound to mouse buttons (key.mouse.4) are heard.

Capability::ALL is 9 with Input; the SDK re-exports command and input;
the API reference is regenerated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both add a Capability variant: the list holds 8 now. The SDK re-exports
both interfaces; the API reference is regenerated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Conflicts kept both sides: the capability list (now 7), the WIT, the
SDK's re-exports and docs, the mods state's fields, the workspace
members and AGENTS.md's macOS --exclude list. The API reference is
regenerated, and docs/api/stability.md lists `command` with the 0.1
preview interfaces.

The built-in extras become official mods; these are the calls the FPS
counter and keystrokes overlay need to look and behave the same:
- render.set-corner(corner, w, h, shapes): a box the game places with
its own corner stacking (under the status effects, with the overlays
and hud panels), clear-corner; text-width(text) in the HUD font
(advances for U+0000..U+024F, 6 otherwise); frame-stats(): the game's
FPS counter (fps, min, 1% low).
- input.mapping(name): a movement or click mapping's key label and
whether it is held; clicks-per-second() for attack and use.
- ui: a button widget (200 x 20, select(id, 0)) for settings pages.
- The game keeps its FPS and click counters running while a mod runs,
and refreshes the snapshot every frame for mods with a frame hook.
- The ui test guest gains /corner and /readings, with a sandbox test.

- WIT `input`: claim-items(ids) makes the use button on those items the
mod's: use-start, then use-stop with the ticks held (button up, item
out of the hand, or a screen opening); the game does nothing else
with the click. register-key(name, label, key) for up to 16 keys
(key.keyboard.r), heard as key-down / key-up while playing; the
game's own mapping on the key still runs. held(), poll() (256 kept).
- game/mod_input.rs: play_mouse asks mod_use first (local and remote
windows), the tick ends a use whose item left the hand, the keyboard
and horizon-ctl's key send the physical key to mod_key.
- No claim and no key, no cost: one check each.
- Experimental: the manifest needs experimental = ["input"].
- The ui test guest gains /input_claim, /input_poll and /input_held,
with a sandbox test. Docs: mods.md, stability.md, the changelog, the
regenerated reference.

Mods draw through the game's own renderer, never their own shaders:
- WIT `render`: set-hud(shapes) with fill, quad (any four corners),
sprite (the game's GUI sprites), item (scaled) and text shapes, up
to 1024, kept until replaced; gui-size(); shake(strength, seconds).
- Drawn over the HUD after the extras, under chat and screens, hidden
with F1 (game/mod_render.rs). Colours are 0xAARRGGBB.
- shake turns the view, not the player: jolts fade out squared, add up
to 1, at most 3 degrees of yaw and 2 of pitch, scaled by Distortion
Effects (screenEffectScale; 0 turns it off).
- Experimental: the manifest needs experimental = ["render"].
- No mod drawing, no cost: an empty iterator and an is_empty check.
- cargo horizon-mod check reports shakes and HUD shapes. The ui test
guest gains /render_hud, /render_clear and /render_shake, with a
sandbox test; HudBatch gets fill_quad.
- Docs: mods.md, stability.md, the changelog, the regenerated reference.

Server mods get interface world: get-block(dimension, x, y, z) reads a
loaded chunk's block state as "minecraft:oak_log[axis=y]", get-biome its
biome ("minecraft:plains"), and
set-blocks(dimension, changes) sets up to 4096 blocks per call, checked at
once, made as /setblock makes them (place_state: neighbours, light, block
entities, every client told through the block log) after the call, before
that dimension's next tick.
Reads cost no copy: for a mod call the game lends Mods the levels' chunk
maps (moved out with mem::take and put back after), only while a running
mod has world. Writes for a level that isn't ticking (another dimension,
in-frame) wait for it, up to 65,536.
Test scripts get blocks (setup) and expect.blocks; cargo horizon-mod check
reports a trial run's block writes. Example beacons: /beacon builds a
glowstone pillar beside the player, /ground reads the block underfoot and the biome.
parse_state is now a free function so the mod path shares it.
Docs: docs/mods.md (the capability, script keys), docs/api/mods.md and the
regenerated reference.

New WIT interface `ui` (text, item and list widgets; open-screen,
close-screen, set-settings) plus a `ui-events` export (select, closed,
settings-opened), in a second world `horizon-ui-mod` so mods built before
it keep loading. The game lays out and draws the widgets with its own
menus' code: a screen the mod owns (Esc/Done to leave) and a Settings
button on the mod's Options > Mods row that opens its page.

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-reference.md lists every capability, world, interface, type,
function and hook of horizon:mods, generated from
crates/horizon-mod-sdk/wit/horizon.wit and the manifest's capabilities by a
test in horizon-mods (feature pack, as CI runs it). The test fails when the
page is out of date (HORIZON_WRITE_DOCS=1 rewrites it), when a function has
no doc comment, or when a capability grants an interface the contract lacks.
The WIT's undocumented functions and fields get doc comments (no change to
the contract itself).
