> A World of Warcraft 1.12.1 client written from scratch in Rust and Bevy: it reads game data from your own install, connects to a 1.12.1 server over the original protocol and runs addons. Suits playing on private servers and as a foundation for custom clients.

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.
