# Quick Guide

This is the shortest path.

## What To Install

Put these on the server:

* `DawnCosmetics`
* `fabric-api`
* Polymer

## What To Change

Open `config/dawncosmetics/config.json`

Set:

```json
{
  "pack": {
    "mode": "polymer"
  }
}
```

## Where To Put Assets

Use your normal pack source folder from `pack.paths.source_root`.

Default is:

```
config/dawncosmetics/cosmetics/assets
```

Supported layouts:

* `pack_root`
* `assets_root`
* `namespace_root`

Read [Pack Layouts And Assets](broken://pages/8b852341d1d4cf1a8438b04db3e463b4c6fd9c2e) if you want examples for each one.

## What Polymer Does Here

When `pack.mode = polymer`:

* DawnCosmetics feeds your pack source into Polymer
* DawnCosmetics registers namespaced cosmetic items from your asset files
* cosmetic `item` and `icon.item` fields can use normal ids or DawnCosmetics Polymer ids

Example:

```json
"icon": {
  "item": "dawncosmetics:pikachu_hat"
},
"item": {
  "item": "dawncosmetics:pikachu_hat"
}
```

## Reload

Use:

```
/dawncosmetics reload
```

`reload pack` is mostly for `auto` and `manual`.

## Quick Check

Look for these:

* the server starts cleanly
* players get the required pack
* cosmetics render the right way
* `/polymer creative` shows DawnCosmetics items
