macOS: packaging/macos/package.sh (run by launcher.yml) builds Horizon.app (Info.plist, bundle id dev.horizon.launcher, macOS 11+, the .icns), signs it ad hoc, and makes the two release assets: horizon-launcher-macos-arm64.dmg, the installer (the app and an Applications link over a background, laid out by dmgbuild without a GUI), and the .zip the launcher updates from. A launcher inside the app replaces the whole bundle: copied beside it with ditto, swapped in by renames, restarted; a bare binary, as older launchers are, still finds its binary in the zip. A macOS test zips, unpacks, swaps and re-verifies a signed bundle. Signing for real is a MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY away (packaging/macos/README.md, with what Gatekeeper asks meanwhile). Linux: release builds keep horizon-launcher.desktop (with the binary's current path), horizon.desktop (hidden, for the game window's icon) and the hicolor icons under $XDG_DATA_HOME, without root; `horizon-launcher desktop-entry --remove` takes them out and stops it, `desktop-entry` puts them back.

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.
- Extras: optional zoom, minimap, FPS and keystroke overlays and auto-reconnect, all off by default.
- 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.
