Understand What Polymer Does for Extended Drawers

The Role of Polymer

Polymer is a server-side library that translates modded content into formats vanilla clients can understand. For Extended Drawers, it acts as a bridge: the server runs the full mod, but Polymer converts drawer blocks and their behavior into representations that don't require clients to install anything.

What This Means for Players

Server-side only — Extended Drawers runs entirely on the server. Clients never need the mod installed.

Transparent functionality — Drawers work identically whether you have the mod installed or not. Storage capacity, item management, and all features operate server-side.

Reduced bandwidth — Players don't download large mod files; Polymer handles compatibility through lightweight conversions.

Limitations

Visual appearance may differ from the full mod—drawers might render as simpler block models. However, all mechanical functionality remains intact. Advanced features that depend on client-side rendering may appear simplified but remain fully functional.
