# Creating a Stylize Instance

If you want to get started quickly, use the `stylize()` method. It returns a stylize instance with a basic default config, with StandardTags.defaults(), Placeholder API & MiniPlaceholders.

#### Example:

```java
Stylize stylize = Stylize.stylize();
```

***

To customize your stylize instance, utilize the `builder()` method. This enables you to select specific features and options tailored to your needs.

#### Methods:

* `parsePlaceholderAPI(boolean)`: Enable/disable Placeholder API parsing.
* `parseMiniPlaceholders(boolean)`: Enable/disable MiniPlaceholders parsing.
* `characters(Collection<Character>)`: Set legacy styling characters.
* `tags(TagResolver)`: Set tag resolver.
* `build()`: Creates the `Stylize` instance.

#### Example:

```java
Stylize stylize = Stylize.builder()
    .characters(List.of('&'))
    .tags(StandardTags.defaults())
    .build();
```
