Format

Key

Each mail entry has a unique key which identifies the message (e.g. to track whether the player already received it). For example, Robin at the start of this entry is the mail key:

"Robin": "Hey there!^I had some extra wood lying around... I thought maybe you could use it. Take care!  ^   -Robin %item object 388 50 %%[#]A Gift From Robin"

The key can be one of these formats:

syntax	description
<season>_<day of month>_<year>	Sent on the given date. Example: spring_15_3 applies on spring 15 in year 3.
<season>_<day of month>	Sent on the given date in any year. This is ignored if mail was sent for the previous format. Example: spring_15 applies on spring 15.
arbitrary key	Anything else is just a unique letter ID, which can be sent in code or via an event script.

Value

The value for each letter entry has this format: <letter text>[#]<letter name>.

The <letter name> field is just a unique human-readable name for the letter, shown in the mail collections tab.

The <letter text> field is the text to show when the player opens the letter. This recognizes some special tokens:

token	description
@	Replaced with the player name. Example: Hello @!
¦	Switches between gendered versions of the letter. Male players see the text before ¦, and others see the text after it. Only the first instance is recognized. If the text doesn't contain it, all players see the same version.
%item object [<id> <count>]+ %%	Attach a random item from the listed space-delimited item IDs and counts. For example, %item object 388 50 %% attaches 50 wood; %item object 388 50 390 10 %% attaches either 50 wood, or 10 stone. See Modding:Object data for a list of item IDs.
%item bigobject [<id>]+ %%	Attach a random big craftable from the listed space-delimited IDs. For example, %item bigobject 144 163 %% attaches either a stone brazier or cask. See Modding:Big craftable data for a list of item IDs.
%item money <amount> %% %item money <min> <max> %%	Attach the given amount of money, or a random amount between an inclusive <min> and exclusive <max> value. In either case, the value is rounded down to the nearest 10 (e.g. 156→150).
%item tools [<type>]+ %%	Attach one or more base-quality tools. The valid types are Axe, Hoe, Can (watering can), Pickaxe, and Scythe. Invalid types are ignored. For example, %item tools Axe Scythe %% attaches both an axe and scythe.
%item conversationTopic <key> <days> %%	Start an active dialogue event for the given number of days.
%item cookingRecipe %%	Teach the player the cooking recipe whose requirement field starts with f <npc name>, where <npc name> is the mail key with 'Cooking' removed. For example, if the mail key is RobinCooking, this command would find a cooking recipe with a requirement starting with f Robin that the player doesn't already know.
%item craftingRecipe <key> %%	Teach the player the crafting recipe with the given ID.
%item itemRecovery <key> %%	Attach the item that the player asked Marlon to find in the mines, if any.
%item quest <quest ID>	Attach the given quest ID to the letter, so the player can choose to accept it.
%item quest <quest ID> true	Attach the given quest ID to the letter and add it automatically. (If the player has the NOQUEST_<quest id> mail flag set, it won't be added automatically.)
%secretsanta	Replaced with a random town NPC name if the date is winter 18–25 inclusively, else replaced with ???.

Mail flags

Overview

The game tracks mail flags for each player. This is used for two purposes:

• Tracking received letters. The key for each letter in Data\Mail is a mail flag; if the player has the flag for a letter, the game considers it to be received.
• Tracking non-mail changes in the world. For example, artifactFound means the player has found at least one artifact, jojaMember means the player has a Joja membership, etc. These have no letter associated with them.

Mail flags are tracked in three main fields:

field	description
Game1.player.mailForTomorrow	Letters to add to the player's mailbox at the start of the next day.
Game1.player.mailbox	Letters currently in the player's mailbox.
Game1.player.mailReceived	All mail flags set for the player. That includes both letters and non-mail flags.

You need to check all three fields to know if a letter was sent or mail flag set, but the game provides a Game1.hasOrWillReceiveMail(string id) method for convenience.

List

There are far too many flags to list, but here are some useful non-mail flags:

flag	meaning
artifactFound	The player has found at least one artifact.
Beat_PK	The player has beaten the Prairie King arcade game.
beenToWoods	The player has entered the Secret Woods at least once.
canReadJunimoText	The player can read the language of Junimos (i.e. the plaques in the Community Center).

See also flags for specific sections: ccBoilerRoom, ccBulletin, ccCraftsRoom, ccFishTank, ccPantry, and ccVault. The equivalent section flags for the Joja warehouse are jojaBoilerRoom, jojaCraftsRoom, jojaFishTank, jojaPantry, and jojaVault.
doorUnlockAbigail	The player has unlocked access to Abigail's room. See also flags for other NPCs: doorUnlockAlex, doorUnlockCaroline, doorUnlockEmily, doorUnlockHaley, doorUnlockHarvey, doorUnlockJas, doorUnlockJodi, doorUnlockMarnie, doorUnlockMaru, doorUnlockPenny, doorUnlockPierre, doorUnlockRobin, doorUnlockSam, doorUnlockSebastian, doorUnlockVincent.
