A new harness decorates a 13x13-chunk area around each site, on both sides, in the order vanilla's chunk scheduler uses around a player standing there (chunk_dump HORIZON_LIST_ORDER prints decoration_order::vanilla_order), and compares every block state, quart biome, block entity and scheduled tick: the two reported spots on seed 1891623539983467248 (taiga trees at 204 -239; a stronghold with sculk and a geode at 4870 401), eleven tree-heavy biomes and the nearest mineshaft, village, ancient city and trial chambers of two seeds. 21 sites, 3,549 chunks, 0 differences.

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-ctlscripting, 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 byui_themeover a live frozen backdrop (game/backdrop.rs, blurred and graded bypost.rs). Options → Interface → Menu style switches to vanilla's screens (Classic, kept inhorizon.txt;HORIZON_MENU_STYLE=horizon|classicoverrides it, and scripted runs default to Classic). Title (webm), worlds, options, pause.
Parity
- Rust rewrite status: completion criteria, how to reproduce the validation, and per-area scope.
- Parity workflow:
tools/parity.py, the gate, other machines, merging. - Area notes: block behaviours and ticking, section meshing.
- Decompilation and research lab and decompilation status: the local game inspection workspace the harnesses build on.
Architecture: world generation
- World generation: the pipeline from noise to features.
- Noise generation, compiled density functions, structure density, terrain filling.
- Biomes: lookup, temperatures.
- Surfaces: material surfaces, material conditions, rule libraries, vertical anchors, value providers.
- Carving, heightmaps, feature placement.
Architecture: world data and simulation
- World data: chunk storage, palettes, region files.
- Block-state codecs, scheduled ticks.
- Collision geometry: shapes, collision, movement and fluids.
- Face visibility: which model faces the mesher emits.
