Adopt the "Carved from stone" pixel design (landing/design/) as the apex onboarding page, ported from its React/Babel-via-CDN prototype to static Astro so it works on an offline LAN. Real modded-LAN content replaces the prototype's fictional public-SMP copy. - Vendor web fonts locally (tooling/fetch-fonts.sh -> public/fonts/) so the page renders without the Google Fonts CDN at party time. - Port the design system (main.css: mood/hero/bevels) and split markup into Astro components (Creeper, PixelIcon, CopyChip, ServerListPanel). - site.ts holds language-neutral config + theme knobs (mood/hero/headFont/ dust) that replace the design's in-browser TweaksPanel; LITERALS holds never-translated product/in-game terms. - i18n: English (/), Spanish (/es/), Euskera (/eu/) generated from one [...lang].astro via getStaticPaths; copy lives in src/i18n/ui.ts. Nav has an EN/ES/EU switcher; html lang + hreflang set per page. - Status panel shows a static server-list row + honest stat tiles (no fake live count). Copy + scroll-reveal are the only client JS. Build emits to ../www (gitignored). Euskera strings pending a native review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Landing page — guest onboarding site
Summary
Apex ulicraft.local serves a static page guiding guests through joining:
download launcher → add account → import modpack → connect. Built with Astro +
TypeScript in ./landing/; pnpm run build emits straight into ./www/,
which Caddy/nginx serve at the apex. No runtime framework — output is plain
HTML/CSS plus one tiny vanilla script (copy-to-clipboard + scroll reveal).
The visual is the "Carved from stone" pixel design ("Claude Design",
landing/design/): dark overworld palette, MC-GUI bevel buttons, pixel type,
creeper mark, server-list panel. That design was a React/Babel-via-CDN prototype
for a fictional public SMP; it was ported to static Astro with the real
modded-LAN content and offline-safe assets.

Fonts — vendored for offline LAN
The design pulled fonts from Google Fonts CDN; that breaks on offline LAN day.
tooling/fetch-fonts.sh downloads the woff2 + a URL-rewritten fonts.css into
landing/public/fonts/. index.astro links /fonts/fonts.css. Re-run the
script only if the font set changes (keep families in sync with main.css
--font-*): Pixelify Sans, Space Grotesk, Press Start 2P, Silkscreen, VT323.
Theme config (replaces the design's in-browser TweaksPanel)
site.ts theme is baked at build — edit + rebuild to change:
mood:grass(default) |nether|endhero:centered(default) |split|spotlightheadFont:pixelify(default) |8bit|silkscreendust: floating hero particles (CSS animation; respects reduced-motion)
index.astro sets <html data-mood data-hero data-head> + --font-head from these.
Languages (i18n)
Three locales, static, build-time, offline-safe — English (default, /),
Spanish (/es/), Euskera (/eu/).
- One template
src/pages/[...lang].astrowithgetStaticPathsemits all three routes (/,/es/,/eu/). No runtime/JS routing. - Translatable copy lives in
src/i18n/ui.ts(ui[locale]), keyed identically across locales.site.tsholds only language-neutral config (URLs, theme, launcher files, stat/feature structure). - Product / in-game literals never translated —
site.tsLITERALS(authlib-injector,Multiplayer,Add Server). OS names + version too. - Sentences with links/kbd are split into parts (pre/post/link, pa/pb) so markup stays in the template, not the strings.
- Nav has a pixel
EN · ES · EUswitcher (.lang-switch); active locale highlighted.<html lang>+<link rel="alternate" hreflang>set per page. - Adding a locale: extend the
Langunion +ui/LANG_*maps inui.ts, add agetStaticPathsentry. No template change.
Content (real modded-LAN flow, all in site.ts)
- Hero: wordmark, eyebrow
Modded LAN · NeoForge 1.21.1, tagline, sub, server addressmc.${BASE_DOMAIN}(copy chip), "How to Join". - Status: static server-list panel (no fake live count — option B) + 4 honest stat tiles (Mods / NeoForge ver / Player slots / Backups).
- Features ×4: kitchen-sink pack · self-hosted Drasl identity+skins · one-click packwiz · built-to-last (homelab + 6h backups).
- How to Join ×4: 1 Fjord launcher (3 OS) → 2 authlib account
(
auth.${BASE_DOMAIN}/authlib-injector) + register link + CA-cert note → 3 packwiz import (packwiz.${BASE_DOMAIN}/pack.toml) → 4 connect. - Footer: Mojang trademark disclaimer.
Launcher download links (Option A — stable symlinks)
Page links to fixed names so they survive launcher version bumps:
fjord-windows-setup.exefjord-macos.dmgfjord-linux-x86_64.AppImage
tooling/fetch-launcher.sh must create these as symlinks under
mirror/launcher/latest/ pointing at the real versioned assets. Keep the names
in sync between site.ts and the script. Mounted so they resolve at
/launcher/latest/… (see nginx/Caddy ingress).
Tasks
- Vendor fonts (
tooling/fetch-fonts.sh) →public/fonts/ - Port design → static Astro (components + main.css + index.astro)
- Real content in
site.ts; theme knobs replace TweaksPanel - i18n: en/es/eu via
[...lang].astro+i18n/ui.ts; nav language switcher BASE_DOMAIN=ulicraft.local pnpm run build→ verifiedwww/output + screenshot- Extend
fetch-launcher.sh: symlink stable names → versioned files - Confirm ingress serves apex from
./wwwand/launcher/latest/*from mirror - Optional: try
