About
Nows MC is an experimental indie Minecraft loader maintained by TamKungZ_.
Name
Nows came from a simple feeling: wanting to play right now, and wanting to play with friends. The name starts from "now" and adds the "s" for that shared, multiplayer feeling.
The main public SEO name is Nows MC. Code packages now use clearer Nows namespaces such as platform, loader, integration and mc so each part says what it owns. Calling the project Nows Loader is also fine when the loader side is the focus.
Project stance
Nows is an experimental project. It may spend its first year changing shape as the loader, adapters and developer tooling settle around real mod work.
The project is built around developer preference first. It is a loader that follows the maintainer's taste, workflow and curiosity: simple, direct and indie in the plain sense of the word.
Nows was not made to compete with anyone, replace anyone or prove that it is better than another loader. It is its own thing, in the form it happens to be, useful where that form fits and honest where it does not.
Scope
Nows currently covers metadata, lifecycle listeners, registry helpers, simple config screens, tick callbacks, keybinds, recipe display metadata, networking surfaces, generated data helpers, small client conveniences and stable wrapper values for common Minecraft text, vectors, item stacks, commands, datapack targets and NBT payloads.
It does not try to cover all Minecraft APIs. Advanced mod behavior should still use Minecraft classes, mixins or version-specific hooks directly.
AI
AI is used as a working assistant for some project maintenance tasks, such as documentation cleanup, repeated adapter edits and bug investigation.
The project direction, decisions, tool choices and publishing choices still belong to TamKungZ_. The maintainer understands the principles and behavior of Java, the project codebase and different IDEs well enough to read the code, judge changes and fix problems directly.
If something is wrong, please open a GitHub issue so it can be tracked and fixed clearly.
