How to install
Find the mod in the launcher
Open the Horizon launcher, pick an instance on the left and go to its Mods page. In the Horizon tab, find "Classic Zoom" and press Install.
Build the mods
In the Native build of … row press Build and confirm you trust these mods. The first build downloads Rust and takes 20–30 minutes and a few GB of disk; later builds take a couple of minutes.
Play
Play that instance — your other instances never run the mod. Turn it on and configure it in game under Options → Mods.
