Ludovic Marie 0818190ee4 docs: controller support design note
Vanilla 26.3 has no gamepad code; Horizon's own design follows Bedrock's
default controller layout. Mapping, menus, glyphs, options file, rumble,
Steam Deck and the PR plan.

Horizon documentation

To play, use the launcher; the project site is playhorizon.dev. These pages are for developers.

Build and run

  • Build from source: your own copy of the game, resource preparation, cargo run.
  • Native client: options, controls, the dedicated server, horizon-ctl scripting, packaging, architecture.
  • Graphics: the Simple and Advanced graphics settings, the graphics benchmark and what it measured.
  • Launcher: installs, updates and starts builds; its CLI and MCP server; releasing it.
  • Menus: the title, world list, create world, multiplayer, options and pause screens share the launcher's design tokens and fonts (crates/horizon-theme), drawn by ui_theme over a live frozen backdrop (game/backdrop.rs, blurred and graded by post.rs). Options → Interface → Menu style switches to vanilla's screens (Classic, kept in horizon.txt; HORIZON_MENU_STYLE=horizon|classic overrides it, and scripted runs default to Classic). Title (webm), worlds, options, pause.

Parity
