Ludovic Marie cd39680534 Show the new launcher and menus on the website and in the README
The README banner is redrawn in the new design (docs/media/banner.html), and the launcher and
menu screenshots (README and website) are the restyled ones. The website's launcher section
gains a Launcher tab: its screenshots no longer show the old background, whose licence was
never confirmed.

The website's assets and their licences

Every file the site serves, where it comes from and the terms it is used under. The build copies this file to /LEGAL.md on the site.

Horizon is not an official Minecraft product. It is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Synergies AB.

Code

File Source Licence
src/*.html, src/*.css, src/*.js, build.mjs, serve.mjs, scripts/*, Caddyfile, Dockerfile Written for this site MIT, as the rest of Horizon (LICENSE)

The site loads no third-party code at runtime: no frameworks, CDNs, analytics, trackers or cookies. The only requests to other hosts are the browser's calls to api.github.com (releases and patch notes) and raw.githubusercontent.com (launcher/links.json), both on Horizon's own repository.

Fonts

File Source Licence
public/fonts/Geist-Regular.woff2, Geist-Medium.woff2, Geist-SemiBold.woff2, GeistMono-Regular.woff2 Geist and Geist Mono, from crates/horizon-theme/fonts (converted from TTF to WOFF2) SIL Open Font License 1.1, shipped as public/fonts/OFL-Geist.txt

The fonts are self-hosted; nothing is fetched from a font service.

Icons and the social preview

File Source Licence
public/favicon.svg, public/favicon-32.png, public/apple-touch-icon.png Horizon's mark, docs/media/brand/icon.svg (an original drawing: an H whose crossbar is the horizon), rendered by cargo run -p xtask -- icons MIT, Horizon's original work
public/og.png Rendered by scripts/shots.mjs from public/og.html: the mark, a headline and the faint wordmark, in Geist MIT for the layout; the fonts as listed here

No Minecraft logo or wordmark appears anywhere on the site, in images or as text styling. GitHub and Discord appear only as plain text links, without their logos.

No hero image

The page opens on type, not a photograph. The launcher's old background (launcher/assets/background.jpg, from backgrounds.supply, licence never confirmed) is gone from the repository, so the launcher's screenshots no longer show it.

Screenshots

All captured in Horizon's Rust client, with vanilla resources prepared from the maintainer's own copy of Minecraft: Java Edition 26.3, and no mods or shaders. Converted to WebP at 1600 and 800 pixels wide by scripts/assets.mjs.

Files in public/media/ Source What it shows

menu-worlds*.webp docs/media/menu-worlds.png Horizon's own world list

Horizon's interface in these images is Horizon's original work (MIT). The block, mob and item textures and the HUD sprites drawn in them belong to Mojang and Microsoft; they are shown as screenshots of the game, as the Minecraft Usage Guidelines allow for fan websites about the game, with the disclaimer they require. The site offers no game files: players need their own legally obtained copy of Minecraft: Java Edition.

Text

The parity table is generated from Horizon's README, and the patch notes come from Horizon's GitHub releases: Horizon's own text, MIT.

Contributors

The Contributors block lists the GitHub accounts that have committed to Horizon: login, commit count and profile link, from GitHub's API. Their avatars are not stored in this repository; the visitor's browser loads them from avatars.githubusercontent.com, each one the picture its owner chose for their GitHub account. Bots are left out.
