🤖 Agent: reviewed; verify passes (client --help exits 0 without loading the game, so the start check only catches a program the system can't load). Linux installs now name the missing ALSA/udev libraries; services run through the installer's current link.
The first published benchmark for the working version (docs/server.md
section 10, item 4). It ran the v2026.10.18.15 release, as install.sh
installs it, against vanilla 26.3 with 1, 10, 25 and 50 mixed bots. The
servers ran on the ThinkPad (quiet, under nice 19) and the bots on the
Mac mini over the tailnet. Vanilla's default game rules applied on both;
Horizon's server runs the locator bar now.
Both servers kept 20 TPS throughout. Horizon used 3.7 to 5.2 times less
memory. Its average tick was shorter with 1, 10 and 25 bots and 18 %
longer with 50, while it generated about twice the new terrain a second
(the exploring bots fly as fast as each server sends chunks). Its P99
was lower at every count.
benchmarks/server-mixed-2026-10-18/ holds the README, the report and the
machine's load; docs/server.md links it from sections 9 and 10.

On a Linux without ALSA's library (most minimal server images), the
game exits at once with the loader's "error while loading shared
libraries: libasound.so.2". The supervisor took that for a crash and
restarted it five times over two and a half minutes before giving up
with "see logs/latest.log", which holds nothing about it.
Now:
- `run` starts the game with --help first (it loads no game files) and,
if the system can't load it, stops at once with the loader's line and
the packages to install on Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch and NixOS;
- `init` prints the same as a warning after "Game:";
- install.sh lists the libraries `ldd` can't find, with the same advice;
- docs/server.md says so in the install section.
Also, a service installed without the installer's launcher on the PATH
ran `<dir>/releases/<tag>/horizon-server`: Linux reports the running
program with links resolved, so the unit pinned that release and an
update never reached it. The fallback now goes through `<dir>/current`
while it points at that release.
Found by the end-to-end install check on the ThinkPad (NixOS, no
nix-ld libraries) with v2026.10.18.15.

Carry used to take every processor written in Java out of its list (#822),
so spawners kept what the template has: an empty spawner in Moog's
templates, a placeholder pig in Better Dungeons'. The new processors module
rewrites the ones with a data form before that:
- Moog's Structure Lib's and Repurposed Structures' spawner randomizing
processors become horizon:spawner_mobs, with Repurposed's rs_spawners list
written in (weight-0 entries left out, as its loader does);
- YUNG's Better Dungeons and Better Desert Temples spawner processors (a
spawner or a placeholder block becomes a spawner of a fixed mob) become
vanilla's rule processor with an append_static block entity, the entity in
26.3's shape (equipment, drop_chances);
- Moog's vanilla loot swap is a no-op while its "replace vanilla" preset is
off, as they ship, and is taken out.
Each is counted in carry-report.json's processors_carried. The game's own
horizon: types stay in the lists.

🤖 Agent: Merged. CI parity passed 88 of 89 harnesses. The one miss, dedicated_server (a known intermittent failure), passes locally on this head. Thanks rdbt!
A remote client (a LAN guest, or the game on its server thread) threw away
the light in each LevelChunkWithLight and relit the column and its
neighbours itself. It now applies the sky and block layers as
ClientPacketListener.applyLightData does, and relights only block changes,
as vanilla's client does.
The hub now sends ClientboundLightUpdatePacket for the light sections that
changed in a column to the players for whom it is on the tracked border
(ChunkHolder.broadcastChanges), so light from blocks a guest doesn't track
reaches it.
horizon-ctl gains 'light X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2', and lan_e2e a 'light' check
comparing the guest's light with the host's.

A content mod's structure set or template pool file holding
"horizon:add_to" appends its entries to the sets or pools it names
(vanilla's, another mod's) instead of being one of its own, as
lithostitched's add_structure_set_entries and add_template_pool_elements
modifiers do on NeoForge and Fabric. The content root merges them after
every mod's own files, in mod and file order; a name nobody defines is
skipped. Vanilla data never has the key.

Chat session updates with their profile key checked against the services'
keys, signed chat and the message chain, last-seen acknowledgements, the
signature cache, signed say/me/msg, enforce-secure-profile, and vanilla's
log lines. Offline servers and players without a chat session chat
unsigned, as on vanilla. tools/test_secure_chat_parity.py compares both
servers with test keys and a mock services server.

BlockSection::get and set check the section index and the state id once,
then read and write through new PackedStorage::read/write, which skip the
storage-level bounds and value checks and the Result that get/set keep for
external callers. A section index is below 4,096 and a palette id always
fits the width bits_for_palette chose; both methods debug_assert that
contract. Used for the hot read, the hot write and the growth re-encode.
Benchmark (ignored tests, best of alternating-order rounds, fast profile):
BlockSection::set 13.15 -> 9.12 ns/write (1.44x), get 2.33 -> 1.45 ns/read
(1.61x). See docs/performance/paletted-container-access-results.md.
The NBT tables stream, the fluid tables reuse the game's facts and the content
root is kept between starts (#753, #754, #756). Horizon with ATM10's 40 data-tier
mods against the same mods on NeoForge 21.1.259. Worldgen carry-over and what it
does not cover yet (#763, #764). Chipped's harness row with its self-drop tables
(#762). The overlay cache line said it was cached; it is now.

BlockSection::set resolved the old cell through get and then probed the
section palette three times per non-trivial write: keying the old state by
id, testing the incoming state and finding it. The slot at the written index
already is the old state's id, so read it straight from storage and resolve
only the incoming state, with a single map probe. Palette reuse, free slots
and growth are unchanged, so palette, counts, free list and NBT are identical.
PalettedContainer::unpack and unpack_u16 matched the palette variant inside
the per-cell loop; dispatch Single/List/Global once before it.
Measured against copies of the pre-optimization code (ignored tests):
BlockSection::set 12.73 -> 11.37 ns/write (1.12x), unpack list 1.956 ->
1.860 us/call (1.05x), global 2.255 -> 2.172 (1.04x). See
docs/performance/paletted-container-access-results.md.
set_matches_baseline_under_random_edits drives both implementations over the
same 50k-edit streams for 1/2/16/17/24/64 distinct states, with periodic
whole-section collapses, and asserts equal results, bits, palette, counts,
free list and NBT.
The nether-portal section precheck from #661 answered "does this section's
palette hold a portal?" per section, per tick. Keep the answer per resident
chunk in `portal_sections`, keyed by a weak handle: an edit or a chunk
replacement rebuilds it, and it is dropped when a chunk unloads and cleared
when the block facts change, so a portal block always forces the sweep. The
entity sweep now finds portal blocks without the per-tick map.
This is a scan microbenchmark, not a whole-game claim: steady improves 2.4x
to 17x over the fixtures and the run parity-checks the cached and per-tick
answers. Rescanning every chunk every tick (cold, reload, edit_all) is slower
because a miss reads all 24 sections of a chunk; see
docs/portal-scan-benchmark.md.
🤖 Agent: merged by Ludovic's AI agent: verify passed, parity proven (CI or perf-frame-2's local run), before/after numbers and screenshots in the PR body.
Six scenes from one fixed-seed world (seed 8675309): a plains village among
savanna hills, sunset over it and the river, moonrise over its lit square, a
crimson forest with a zombified piglin, tropical fish over a warm-ocean coral
reef, and survival at dusk with a zombie and the full HUD. Plus Horizon's own
title, Singleplayer, Video options and pause screens.
Captured with horizon-ctl screenshot from the offscreen client (fullscreen
2560x1286 on the Mac mini, default graphics settings, GUI scale Auto), scenes
cropped to 16:9 and menus to 16:10 (left-aligned) and scaled to the old sizes
(1600x900, 1280x800). The scene sources are JPEGs in docs/media again, the
names scripts/assets.mjs already reads; the README's WebP copies are the
rebuilt website media. Alt texts and LEGAL.md follow the new pictures.
The launcher screenshots are unchanged: the Mac mini's session is locked, so
no window capture works.

With an explicit Present Mode (Mailbox, Immediate), the VSync option did
nothing: the setting replaced vanilla's choice even with VSync on, so a
window kept running uncapped. Vanilla's VSync means Fifo, in a window and in
fullscreen alike. Now VSync on always presents with Fifo, and the Present
Mode setting chooses only while VSync is off (Auto keeps vanilla's choice:
Immediate, else Mailbox, else Fifo). The choice is one tested function,
window::chosen_present_mode.

The LAN chunk encoder's section cache (#623) and dimension range (#668)
are kept; a cached section's wire bytes use the registry's palette width,
set once per process before any encoder exists, so the cache stays keyed
on the section alone. The sculk scan's palette check takes the u32 state.
