Polymer Patch For Extended Drawers Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do my players need to install Extended Drawers if I use this patch?
No. With Polymer Patch installed on the server alongside Extended Drawers and Polymer, players can see and use drawer blocks without having the mod on their client.
What mods do I need to install for this to work?
You need three mods on your server: Polymer (the library), Extended Drawers (the mod being patched), and Polymer Patch For Extended Drawers. Players only need a vanilla or modded client that can connect to your server.
Why aren't drawers showing up on my server?
Check that all three required mods are installed and enabled on the server. If drawers still don't appear, restart the server and verify there are no mod conflicts or missing dependencies in your logs.
Can players interact with drawers if they don't have the mod installed?
Yes, that's the whole point of this patch. Polymer translates drawer blocks and their functionality to vanilla-compatible visuals and interactions that any client can use.
Will this work with other mods that add storage?
This patch only handles Extended Drawers. Other storage mods need their own Polymer patches or must be installed on clients separately.
Do I need to do any special configuration after installing?
The patch works out of the box once installed alongside Polymer and Extended Drawers. Check the mod's config folder if you want to customize behavior, but defaults should work for most servers.
What happens if a player with the mod installed joins a server using this patch?
Players with Extended Drawers installed will see the mod's native visuals and features. Players without it will see Polymer's translated version. Both can interact with the same drawers without issues.
Does this patch affect performance or TPS?
Polymer adds minimal overhead since it only translates blocks for clients without the mod. Performance impact should be negligible on most servers.
Can I use this patch on a single-player world?
This patch is designed for servers. In single-player, just install Extended Drawers normally on your client for the full experience.
What should I do if drawers work but look broken or have missing textures?
This usually means Polymer isn't translating the blocks correctly. Verify all three mods are the correct versions for each other, check server logs for errors, and try restarting the server.
