## Useful for

- Run a vanilla-compatible singleplayer world in Rust via the Horizon launcher.
- Control the game from a script or AI agent using horizon-ctl commands or the MCP server.
- Host a dedicated server and invite friends over Tailscale without needing Java.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-27 (UTC), 00:34–21:53: 2514 → 2894 stars (+380). This is the change over that interval.
- Over the last two days the pace is 3.2× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- The repository is 24 days old and already has 2,894 stars.
- Top new repositories this month: #63.
- About 65 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
