Cosmetics are purely visual — they don't affect stats, drops, or battles. You unlock them and equip them through the Wardrobe at spawn.
Wardrobe
The Wardrobe NPC is at spawn (you'll find it in the cosmetics/services row). Right-click it to open your owned cosmetics, equip them, and switch outfits.
There are two Wardrobe NPCs in the spawn area — both open the same wardrobe, they're just placed for convenience.
Cosmetic categories
| Category | What it is |
|---|---|
| Hats | Headwear shown on top of your character — Pikachu Hat, Pokémon Cap, etc. |
| Backpacks | Visual backpacks worn on your back. Auto-hides while you're mounted. |
| Balloons | Floating accessories that drift above and behind your character. |
| Item skins | Custom skins for items in your main hand (e.g. a Honedge sword skin). |
| Armor skins | Custom appearances for equipped armor pieces. |
| Offhand items | A purely visual item shown in your offhand slot. |
| Sprays | Painted decals you can stamp into the world. |
| Particles | Aura and trail particle effects that follow your character. |
The current particle catalogue includes a mix of auras (Sparkle Aura, Heart Halo, Happy Aura, Cherry Cloud) and trails (Flame Trail, Cloud Trail, Crit Trail, Soul Fire Trail, Note Trail, Electric Spark Trail, Witch Trail, Totem Trail) — 18 effects in total.
How to get cosmetics
Cosmetics are sold at the Cosmetics Boutique at spawn — open it via the Cosmetics NPC or the /cosmeticsshop command. The boutique pays in Pokédollars and uses a rotating stock model: items cycle in and out periodically rather than being permanently listed.
Equipping
Open the Wardrobe, pick a category, and click an item to equip or unequip. You can wear one item from each category at the same time (one hat, one backpack, one trail, etc.). Equipped cosmetics persist across sessions.
Backpacks auto-hide while you're mounted on a Pokémon — they reappear when you dismount.
Permissions
Each cosmetic is gated by a permission node. The format is dawncosmetics.<type>.<id> — for example, dawncosmetics.hat.pikachu_hat for the Pikachu Hat, or dawncosmetics.particle.flame_trail for the Flame Trail particle.
You don't need to know the nodes day-to-day — the boutique grants the right one when you buy. Staff use these nodes when handing out event rewards or rank perks.
