Minecraft: Java Edition 26.3 rewritten from scratch in Rust, checked against vanilla with 281 differential harnesses. Get it with the Horizon launcher.

About the project

A from-scratch Rust reimplementation of Minecraft: Java Edition that loads vanilla worlds and is validated against the original through 281 differential test harnesses. It also exposes a CLI and MCP interface so scripts and AI agents can play.

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.

6.0 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 25, 2026, 19:34 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 17:54–19:23: 1794 → 1842 stars (+48). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +90 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 21× that of the previous week and a half.
  • The repository is 22 days old and already has 1,842 stars.
  • Top new repositories this month: #95.
  • About 98 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 1,171. +618% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
