the whole registry.
Packs, mods, shaders and servers are one install away. The launcher handles the hashes, the profiles and the native build, then tells you what happened.
Profiles that stay separate
Each pack gets its own worlds, configs, screenshots and logs. Removing one pack leaves the others alone.

Native mods compile against the engine. The launcher shows each stage, the ETA, and why a mod was left out.

From the catalog to the title screen.
The launcher reads the same catalog you are browsing, pulls each mod from Horizon's registry, checks the hash and builds the profile.
- One click installs the full pack, dependencies included.
- Mods, shaders and resource packs are installed from the same window.
- Import your own .hmod, .hpack or .hshader without uploading it anywhere.

Twenty packs, each built around one job: settle in, automate, explore, fly or fight. The launcher keeps them apart.

Beyond packs
Mods, shaders, servers.
The catalog goes beyond packs. The same launcher reads the registry, so a single mod or a shader pack is one screen away.

The game
Horizon is its own game.
Written in Rust. It reads Minecraft Java worlds, keeps the block language and replaces the runtime. Java mods do not run inside it.
Horizon ships content mods and native mods. The launcher knows the difference, which is why it can show a native build stage by stage instead of a spinner.

Is this an official Horizon site?
No. xHorizon is an independent catalog and launcher. The game is made by the Horizon project; the packs and the launcher here are ours. We are not affiliated with Mojang, Microsoft, or Horizon.
Do I need Minecraft: Java Edition?
Yes. Horizon asks for a Microsoft account that owns Java Edition, and the check runs in the game. There is no offline mode here and no patch for that check.
Are the packs free?
Yes. The manifests are free and MIT. The mods inside keep their own licenses, listed on every pack page; some are non-commercial. xHorizon has no paid tier, ads, or crypto.
Will the packs work in the official Horizon launcher?
Yes. Each pack is a standard .hpack manifest. Download it, import it in the official launcher, and it resolves the same mods. The xHorizon launcher does the same thing with fewer steps.
Install once. Play every pack.
Version 0.1.4 preview is on GitHub Releases for Windows, unsigned with a published SHA-256. The catalog, the registry and the packs are already here.
