Using a crate on its own

Every crate in the coven is a Bevy plugin plus its settings, and none of them needs the Cauldron.

1. Add it:

   cargo add bevy_elements
   

   A crate that is not on crates.io yet (bevy_light_grid) is a git dependency:

   bevy_light_grid = { git = "https://github.com/bevy-coven/bevy_light_grid" }
   

2. Add its plugin to your app:

   use bevy::prelude::*;
   
   fn main() {
       App::new()
           .add_plugins((DefaultPlugins, bevy_elements::ElementsPlugins))
           .run();
   }

   Each crate’s page in this book, and its README, gives its own plugin name and a quick start that compiles.

3. Tune it. A crate’s settings are plain Rust types that implement serde’s Serialize and Deserialize, so you can build them in code, or load them from a RON or JSON file in your project.

Each crate’s README has a cargo run --example line that opens the scene in its hero GIF; that is the fastest way to see what it does before you add it.
