PipeWire remembers mute per application name. A test run's stream, muted once in the mixer, left "PipeWire ALSA [horizon-client]" muted for every later game, the release played from the launcher included: no sound at all, with the device, the stream and the mixer all working. - The launcher starts the game as "Horizon" (media.role Game), its own entry. - The game opens no output on a vscreen, where agents run it (HORIZON_AUDIO=1 forces it, for a null sink), so nobody needs to mute it again. - Any device sample format is accepted (the mixer converts from f32): a plain ALSA default reporting i16 used to fail. - Other output devices are tried when the default does not open, and the log names the output opened or every reason none did.

Horizon documentation
To play, use the launcher. 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. - Launcher: installs, updates and starts builds; its CLI and MCP server; releasing it.
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.
