- `new --template content`: a content mod with one block (Glowing Amethyst,
copying vanilla's amethyst block) and its block state, model, item model,
name, loot, recipe and pickaxe tag; `--template code` is the default.
- `build` packs the mod's `assets/` and `data/` (read and checked as the
game reads them) beside the component; a folder without `Cargo.toml` is a
content mod and needs no compiler.
- `check` takes a `.hmod` with no `mod.wasm`: "no code: content only,
nothing to run" instead of the trial run, which refused it, so the
registry can publish content mods.
- The guide (content mods, make a mod) and docs/mods.md, docs/api/mods.md
say so.

Six pages under a "Make a mod" group of the docs: set up and see a mod in
the game (the launcher's Game arguments or cargo horizon-mod run), the
manifest and every capability, the hooks and calls with a worked example
(Playtime, built and checked), content mods, testing and check, and
publishing (minisign signing, the submit form, review, updates). /mods,
the submit page, the docs index, Mods and data packs and the Mod API link
to 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.
