FAQ
Where do these numbers come from?
We ping the Official Horizon SMP every 5 minutes ourselves — the same request the in-game server list sends — and keep the history. Only the official site publishes the total of everyone playing Horizon: playhorizon.dev/stats.
Why is this lower than on playhorizon.dev?
The official page counts every running copy of the game (an anonymous ping once a minute); we only see who is on the server right now. Different numbers.
Since when is history recorded?
Since 11 November 2026, our first measurement.
