===How to update your mod===
# Update your mod code and assets for the changes listed below (particularly [[#Breaking changes for C# mods|''Breaking changes for C# mods'']] and [[#Breaking changes for content packs|''Breaking changes for content packs'']]).
+
The rest of this page may seem overwhelming, but fortunately most of it probably doesn't apply to your specific mods. Here's a suggested 'quick start' guide to update a mod for Stardew Valley 1.6.
# If SMAPI still says your mod is incompatible, check the <samp>TRACE</samp> messages in the log file for the reason why.<br />If the logs say "''marked 'assume broken' in SMAPI's internal compatibility list''", you can increase the <samp>Version</samp> in your content pack's <samp>manifest.json</samp> file to bypass it.
+
 
# Test the mod in-game and make any other changes needed.
+
; For C# mods&#58;
 +
:# Update the [https://www.nuget.org/packages/Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig mod build config NuGet package] to the latest version.
 +
:# In each <samp>.csproj</samp> project file, change <code>&lt;TargetFramework&gt;net5.0&lt;/TargetFramework&gt;</code> to <code>&lt;TargetFramework&gt;net6.0&lt;/TargetFramework&gt;</code>.<br /><small>(Tip: if the second line looks like <code>&lt;Project ToolsVersion=...</code> instead of <code>&lt;Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"&gt;</code>, you'll need to [[Modding:Migrate to Stardew Valley 1.5.5|migrate it to Stardew Valley 1.5.5]] first.)</small>
 +
:# Rebuild the solution.
 +
:# Fix any build errors. You can search this page for relevant info as needed.
 +
:# Review all build warnings (particularly obsolete-code warnings), which may indicate code that broke in 1.6.
 +
:# Increment your mod version in <samp>manifest.json</samp>.<br /><small>(Some mods may be added to SMAPI's compatibility blacklist due to runtime errors. Incrementing the mod version will fix that if so.)</small>
 +
:# Test to make sure the mod works.
 +
:# Skim through [[#Breaking changes for C# mods|''breaking changes for C# mods'']] and the table of contents, and check any section that might be relevant to the mod.
 +
 
 +
; For [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] packs&#58;
 +
:# Follow the [https://smapi.io/cp-migrate Content Patcher migration guide] until your content pack has <code>"Format": "2.0.0"</code>.<br /><small>'''Do not skip this step!''' Content Patcher will assume your content pack is pre-1.6 if you don't, which can cause confusing errors if you already updated it.</small>
 +
:# Review [[#Breaking changes for content packs|''breaking changes for content packs'']] and update the content pack as needed.
 +
 
 +
; For content packs which use another framework&#58;
 +
: See the documentation for the framework mod. Often you won't need to update the content pack if the framework mod itself was updated.

 +
===Trigger actions===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Trigger actions]]|done=true}}
 +
 +
Trigger actions are a new feature which lets content packs perform an action when something happens, with support for a wide range of actions (like sending mail, changing friendship, starting a quest, etc).
 +
 +
For example, it lets you have logic like "''When the player arrives in the Farm location, if Leo has moved to the valley, then send a letter and start a conversation topic''":
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
{
 +
    "Trigger": "LocationChanged",
 +
    "Location": "Farm",
 +
    "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_FLAG Host leoMoved",
 +
    "Actions": [
 +
        "AddMail Current Abigail_LeoMoved Today",
 +
        "AddConversationTopic LeoMoved 5"
 +
    ]
 +
}
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
===Hash set fields===
 +
For C# mod authors, the game now uses [https://www.bytehide.com/blog/hashset-csharp hash sets] for many list fields which expect unique values. That allows much more efficient O(1) read/write, prevents duplicate values, and simplifies common logic.
 +
 +
This affects:
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-
 +
! type
 +
! fields
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>Farmer</samp>
 +
| <samp>achievements</samp><br /><samp>dialogueQuestionsAnswered</samp><br /><samp>eventsSeen</samp><br /><samp>mailForTomorrow</samp><br /><samp>mailReceived</samp><br /><samp>professions</samp><br /><samp>secretNotesSeen</samp><br /><samp>songsHeard</samp>
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>FarmerTeam</samp>
 +

 +
| <samp>ActivePassiveFestivals</samp><br /><samp>CheckedGarbage</samp><br /><samp>FoundBuriedNuts</samp><br /><samp>IslandVisitors</samp><br /><samp>LocationsWithBuildings</samp>
 +
|}
 +
 +
Usage is very similar, and many list methods like <samp>Contains</samp> work the same way with hash sets. Here are the main differences:
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>Hash sets aren't ordered. For example, there's no guarantee that the first value when you enumerate it was the earliest one added.</li>
 +
<li><p>Hash sets can't be indexed. For example, you can no longer use <code>list[0]</code> to get the first value. You can still enumerate them or use LINQ methods like <samp>set.First()</samp>, but in most cases you should use the set methods like <samp>Add</samp> or <samp>Contains</samp> instead.</p>
 +
 +
To remove multiple matching values from the set, you can use <samp>RemoveWhere</samp> instead:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
// old code
 +
for (int i = Game1.player.mailReceived.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
 +
{
 +
    if (Game1.player.mailReceived[i].StartsWith("Example.ModId_"))
 +
        Game1.player.mailReceived.RemoveAt(i);
 +
}
 +
 +
// new code
 +
Game1.player.mailReceived.RemoveWhere(id => id.StartsWith("Example.ModId_"));
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>You no longer need to check before adding a value, since the hash set will ignore duplicates.</li>
 +
<li>The <samp>Add</samp>/<samp>Remove</samp>/<samp>RemoveWhere</samp> methods return whether a value was added/removed, which lets you check at the same time. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
if (Game1.player.mailReceived.Add("BackpackTip")) // returns true if it wasn't in the set yet
 +
    Game1.addMailForTomorrow("pierreBackpack");
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
===DataLoader===
 +
<samp>DataLoader</samp> is a new C# utility which provides strongly-typed methods to load the game's data assets.
 +
 +
This solves an issue where we often needed fragile code like <code>Game1.content.Load<Dictionary<string, PassiveFestivalData>>("Data\\PassiveFestivals")</code>. With that code, it's easy to accidentally misspell the asset name, use different capitalization (which would break on Linux/macOS), or use the wrong return type. If you did, you likely wouldn't notice until the code actually executed at runtime and threw an exception.
 +
 +
In Stardew Valley 1.6, you can now rewrite that code like <code>DataLoader.PassiveFestivals(Game1.content)</code>. That's simpler, you can't use the wrong asset name or type, and it's more future-proof in case the game changes them.
 +
 +
===Unique string IDs===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID]]|done=true}}
 +
 +
Stardew Valley now uses ''unique string IDs'' throughout the code to identify data (like events, locations, items, NPCs, etc). For example, <code>Town</code> is the unique ID for the [[Pelican Town]] location; no other location can use that ID. The IDs are used for a wide range of purposes, from internal game logic to [[Modding:Content Patcher|content pack edits]].
 +
 +
For mods, it's '''strongly recommended''' to...
 +
* Use namespaced IDs prefixed with your [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Manifest#Basic fields|mod's unique ID]] for all new content. For example, if your mod ID is <code>Example.PufferchickMod</code> and you're adding a pufferchick plushy, your item ID would look like <code>Example.PufferchickMod_PufferchickPlushy</code>. In a [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher pack]], you can use <code><nowiki>{{ModId}}_PufferchickPlushy</nowiki></code> to insert your mod ID automatically. This eliminates ID conflicts between mods, and makes it easy (for both troubleshooters and mod code) to identify which mod added a particular content. See [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|the new format docs]] for the recommended format.
 +
* Only use alphanumeric (a–z, A–Z, 0–9), underscore (<code>_</code>), and dot (<code>.</code>) characters in string IDs. This is important because they're often used in places where some characters have special meaning (like file names or [[#Game state queries|game state queries]]).
 +
 +
You can optionally migrate pre-1.6 content to use unique string IDs too, without breaking existing players' saves. This is recommended to reduce mod conflicts and simplify troubleshooting going forward. Here's how to migrate for each data type:
 +

 +
{{!}} [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] adds a custom [[Modding:Trigger actions|trigger action]] which can migrate IDs everywhere in the save data.
 +
 +
For example, this migrates two crafting recipe IDs:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
{
 +
    "Action": "EditData",
 +
    "Target": "Data/TriggerActions",
 +
    "Entries": {
 +
        "{{ModId}}_MigrateToUniqueIds": {
 +
            "Id": "{{ModId}}_MigrateToUniqueIds",
 +
            "Trigger": "DayStarted",
 +
            "Actions": [
 +
                // Note: use double-quotes around an argument if it contains spaces. This example has single-quotes for
 +
                // the action itself, so we don't need to escape the double-quotes inside it.
 +
                'Pathoschild.ContentPatcher_MigrateIds CraftingRecipes "Puffer Plush" {{ModId}}_PufferPlush "Puffer Sofa" {{ModId}}_PufferSofa'
 +
            ],
 +
            "HostOnly": true
 +
        }
 +
    }
 +
}
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
See the [https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/trigger-actions.md Content Patcher docs] for more info about using the trigger action, including restrictions and valid ID types.

 +
====Achievements====
 +
The ''A Complete Collection'' [[Achievements|achievement]] is automatically adjusted to require any custom donations added too. This is based on the number of donated items though, so removing custom donations later may incorrectly mark the museum complete (since you may have donated enough items to meet the total required).

===Custom fruit trees===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Fruit trees]]|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
====Data format====
 +
You can now add custom [[Fruit Trees|fruit trees]] by editing the revamped <samp>Data/fruitTrees</samp> asset. This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
 +
* The key is the [[#Custom items|unqualified item ID]] for the sapling item in <samp>Data/Objects</samp>.

Notes:
 +
* If set to an [[Modding:Item queries|item query]] which returns multiple items, one of them will be selected at random.
 +
* Season conditions are ignored in non-seasonal locations like the [[greenhouse]] and [[Ginger Island]].
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>InvalidItemMessageCondition</samp>
+
| <samp>Season</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A [[#Game state queries|game state query]] which indicates whether <samp>InvalidItemMessage</samp> should be shown. This can use item-related queries like <samp>ITEM_TYPE</samp>. Defaults to always true.
+
| ''(Optional)'' If set, the group only applies if the tree's location is in this season. This is ignored in non-seasonal locations like the [[greenhouse]] and [[Ginger Island]].
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>InvalidCountMessage</samp>
+
| <samp>Chance</samp>

+
| ''(Optional)'' The probability that this entry is selected, as a value between 0 (never drops) and 1 (always drops). Default 1 (100% chance).
 
  −
This can use extra custom tokens:
  −
* <samp>[ItemCount]</samp>: the number of remaining items needed. For example, if you're holding three and need five, <samp>[ItemCount]</samp> will be replaced with <samp>2</samp>.

{| class="wikitable"
   
|-
 
|-
! field
+
| <samp>Texture</samp>
! effect
+
| The asset name for the texture under the game's <samp>Content</samp> folder. Use <samp>\</samp> (or <samp>\\</samp> in JSON) to separate name segments if needed. For example, vanilla fruit trees use <samp>TileSheets\fruitTrees</samp>.
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>TextureSpriteRow</samp>
 +
| The tree's row index in the <samp>Texture</samp> spritesheet (e.g. 0 for the first tree, 1 for the second tree, etc).
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>InteractMethod</samp>
+
| <samp>PlantableLocationRules</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A C# method invoked when the player interacts with the machine when it doesn't have output ready to harvest.
+
| ''(Optional)'' The rules to decide which locations you can plant the sapling in, if applicable. The first matching rule is used. This can override location checks (e.g. crops being limited to the farm), but not built-in requirements like crops needing dirt.
   −
This must be specified in the form <samp>{{t|full type name}}.{{t|method name}}</samp> (like <samp>StardewValley.Object.SomeInteractMethod</samp>). The method must be static and match the game's <samp>MachineInteractDelegate</samp> method signature:
+
This consists of a list of models with these fields:

|-
  −
| <samp>HasInput</samp><br /><samp>HasOutput</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' Whether to force adding the <samp>machine_input</samp> or <samp>machine_output</samp> [[#New context tags|context tags]] respectively. This isn't needed for most machines, since they'll be set based on the <samp>OutputRules</samp> field. Default false.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>IsIncubator</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' Whether this machine acts as an incubator when placed in a building, so players can incubate eggs in it. Default false.
     −
This is used by the [[incubator]] and [[Ostrich Incubator|ostrich incubator]]. The game logic assumes there's only one such machine in each building, so this generally shouldn't be used by custom machines that can be built in a vanilla [[barn]] or [[coop]].
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>StatsToIncrementWhenLoaded</samp><br /><samp>StatsToIncrementWhenHarvested</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' The game stat counters to increment when an item is placed in the machine (<samp>StatsToIncrementWhenLoaded</samp>) or when the processed output is collected (<samp>StatsToIncrementWhenHarvested</samp>). Default none. This consists of a list of models with these fields:

+
| The [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|unique string ID]] for this entry within the list.
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>Result</samp>
 +
| Indicates whether the sapling can be planted in a location if this entry is selected. The possible values are:
 +
* <samp>Default</samp>: the sapling can be planted if the location normally allows it. This can be used to stop processing further rules, and/or set a custom <samp>DeniedMessage</samp>.
 +
* <samp>Allow</samp>: the sapling can be planted here, regardless of whether the location normally allows it.
 +
* <samp>Deny</samp>: the sapling can't be planted here, regardless of whether the location normally allows it.

| <samp>RequiredItemId</samp>
+
| <samp>PlantedIn</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' If set, only increment the stat if the main input item has this qualified or unqualified item ID.

| ''(Optional)'' The planting context to apply this rule for. The possible values are <samp>Ground</samp> (planted directly in the ground), <samp>GardenPot</samp> (planted in a [[Garden Pot|garden pot]]), or <samp>Any</samp>. Default <samp>Any</samp>.
 +
 
 +
Note that saplings can't be planted in garden pots.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>RequiredTags</samp>
+
| <samp>DeniedMessage</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' If set, only increment the stat if the main input item has ''all'' of these [[Modding:Context tags|context tags]]. You can negate a tag with <samp>!</samp> (like <code>"RequiredTags": [ "bone_item", "!fossil_item" ]</code> for bone items that aren't fossils).
+
| ''(Optional)'' If this rule prevents planting the sapling, the tokenizable string to show to the player (or <samp>null</samp> to default to the normal behavior for the context). This also applies when the <samp>Result</samp> is <samp>Default</samp>, if that causes the planting to be denied.
 
|}
 
|}
  −
It's fine to use this with custom machines, but you can only increment built-in stats so it won't be applicable for most custom machines. For example, the vanilla game increments <samp>PiecesOfTrashRecycled</samp> for the [[Recycling Machine|recycling machine]] and <samp>GeodesCracked</samp> for the [[Geode Crusher|geode crusher]].

Custom trees can be added to the game in two ways:
 +
* Spawn them on [[Modding:Maps|map tiles]] when the location is created, using the new <samp>SpawnTree: fruit {{t|tree ID}} {{o|growth stage on location created}} {{o|growth stage on day-update regrowth}}</samp> tile property. This must be added on the <samp>Paths</samp> layer, which must also have tile index 34 from the <samp>paths</samp> tilesheet.
 +
* Or give the player a seed item in the usual ways (e.g. from [[#Custom shops|a shop]], [[Modding:Mail data|mail letter]], etc).
 +
 
 +
===Custom objects===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Items#Objects]]|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
You can now create/edit objects (the main item type) by editing the new <samp>Data/Objects</samp> asset, which replaces the previous slash-delimited <samp>Data/objectInformation</samp>.
 +
 
 +
Besides the format change, this adds...
 +
* support for custom textures;
 +
* revamped geode drops with support for conditions, probabilities, and item queries;
 +
* expanded food/drink buffs (e.g. set a custom buff ID, add a custom buff icon, etc);
 +
* context tags (moved from the former <samp>Data/ObjectContextTags</samp> asset);
 +
* [[#Custom data fields|custom fields]] to let framework mods support additional features.
 +
 
 +
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
 +
* The key is the unqualified [[#Custom items|item ID]].
 +
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

The ''A Complete Collection'' [[Achievements|achievement]] is automatically adjusted to require any custom donations added too. This is based on the number of donated items though, so removing custom donations later may incorrectly mark the museum complete (since you may have donated enough items to meet the total required).

The fruit trees can then be added to the game by giving the player a sapling item in the usual ways (e.g. from [[#Custom shops|a shop]]).

====Fruit items====
  −
For C# mods, the <samp>fruitsOnTree</samp> field (number of fruit on the tree) has been replaced by <samp>fruit</samp> (list of fruit items).

  −
====Spawning fruit trees====
  −
Custom trees can be added to the game in two ways:
  −
* Spawn them on [[Modding:Maps|map tiles]] when the location is created, using the new <samp>SpawnTree: fruit {{t|tree ID}}</samp> tile property. This must be added on the <samp>Paths</samp> layer, which must also have tile index 34 from the <samp>paths</samp> tilesheet.
  −
* Or give the player a seed item in the usual ways (e.g. from [[#Custom shops|a shop]], [[Modding:Mail data|mail letter]], etc).
  −
 
  −
===Custom objects===
  −
You can now create/edit objects (the main item type) by editing the new <samp>Data/Objects</samp> asset, which replaces the previous slash-delimited <samp>Data/objectInformation</samp>.
  −
 
  −
Besides the format change, this adds...
  −
* support for custom textures;
  −
* revamped geode drops with support for conditions, probabilities, and item queries;
  −
* expanded food/drink buffs (e.g. set a custom buff ID, add a custom buff icon, etc);
  −
* context tags (moved from the former <samp>Data/ObjectContextTags</samp> asset);
  −
* [[#Custom data fields|custom fields]] to let framework mods support additional features.
  −
 
  −
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
  −
* The key is the unqualified [[#Custom items|item ID]].
  −
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

Note that drawing the tool correctly in the world (ie, while the player is trying to use it) probably still needs custom code.
+
Custom trees can be added to the game in two ways:
 +
* Spawn them on [[Modding:Maps|map tiles]] when the location is created, using the new <samp>SpawnTree: wild {{t|tree ID}} {{o|growth stage on location created}} {{o|growth stage on day-update regrowth}}</samp> tile property. This must be added on the <samp>Paths</samp> layer, which must also have tile index 34 from the <samp>paths</samp> tilesheet.
 +
* Or give the player a seed item in the usual ways (e.g. from [[#Custom shops|a shop]], [[Modding:Mail data|mail letter]], etc).
 +
 
 +
===Default recipes===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Recipe data]]|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
You can now have [[Modding:Recipe data|crafting and cooking recipes]] that are learned automatically by setting the condition field to <samp>default</samp>. Any missing default recipes will be learned on day start.
 +
 
 +
For example, here's the chest entry from <samp>Data/CraftingRecipes</samp>:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"Chest": "388 50/Home/130/true/default/"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
===Global inventories===
 +
C# mods can now set a <samp>chest.GlobalInventoryId</samp> field to make it share a global inventory with every other chest having the same ID. This replaces the equivalent hardcoded logic for [[Junimo Chest|Junimo chests]], which now just default to a <samp>"JunimoChests"</samp> global inventory ID. For example, this can be used to have multiple Junimo chest networks or make other containers share inventory.
 +
 
 +
C# mods can also use this to store items for other mod purposes, by using <samp>Game1.player.team.globalInventories</samp> or <samp>Game1.player.team.GetOrCreateGlobalInventory(id)</samp> directly.
 +
 
 +
===Hats on aquarium fish===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Fish data]]|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
Custom [[Modding:Fish data|fish in aquariums]] can now wear [[hats]], just like vanilla [[Sea Urchin|sea urchins]]. This can be enabled by specifying a new field in <samp>Data/AquariumFish</samp>:

===Context tag changes===

{{/doc status|[[Modding:Items#Context tags]]|done=false}}

| ''(Optional)'' If set, the [[#Custom items|qualified or unqualified item ID]] for an extra item that must be traded to upgrade the tool. (For example, many vanilla tools need metal bars.)
+
| ''(Added automatically)'' The [[#Custom items|qualified item ID]], like <samp>id_(o)128</samp>. This can be used to match or exclude an item by ID using context tags. Any spaces in the ID are replaced with underscores, and single quotes are removed.

|}
+
* if <samp>HasInput</samp> is true;
 
+
* ''or'' if any output rules have an <samp>ItemPlacedInMachine</samp> trigger.

  −
        "TradeItemAmount": 5

     −
If you want the tool to always be available, you can just omit the conditions. For example:

====ItemContextTagManager class====
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
+
For C# mods, 1.6 adds a new <samp>ItemContextTagManager</samp> class which simplifies working with [[Modding:Items#Context tags|item context tags]] and reduces repeated code.
"UpgradeFrom": [

===Custom wild trees===
+
====Other context tag changes====
====Data format====
+
* Context tags are now case-insensitive.
You can now create/edit [[Trees|wild trees]] by editing the <samp>Data/WildTrees</samp> asset.
     −
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
+
===Inventory class===
* The asset key is the unique tree type identifier. The vanilla tree IDs are <samp>1</samp> (oak), <samp>2</samp> (maple), <samp>3</samp> (pine), <samp>6</samp> (palm), <samp>7</samp> (mushroom), and <samp>8</samp> (mahogany). For custom trees, this should be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_TreeType</samp>. This should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters.
+
For C# mods, 1.6 adds a new <samp>Inventory</samp> class to manage a list of items. This is used for the <samp>Farmer.items</samp> and <samp>Chest.items</samp> fields. It implements <samp>IList&lt;Item&gt;</samp>, so most existing code should still work fine.
* The asset value is a model with thee fields listed below.
      +
This has three main benefits:
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>It has methods to simplify many common operations. For example:

  −
This consists of a list of models with these fields:
  −
{| class="wikitable"
   
|-

| The asset name for the tree's spritesheet.
+
| Get whether the inventory contains any item with the given qualified or unqualified item ID.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Season</samp>
+
| <code>ContainsId(id, minCount)</code>
| ''(Optional)'' If set, the specific season when this texture should apply. For more complex conditions, see <samp>Condition</samp>.

+
| Get the combined stack size of all items with the given qualified or unqualified item ID.
 
  −
This is checked when the tree is created, a new day starts, or its texture is reloaded by a mod. More frequent conditions (like time of day) won't work as expected unless a mod manually triggers a tree update.

| ''(Optional)'' Whether the seed can be planted by the player. If this is false, it can only be spawned automatically via map properties. Default true.
+
| Remove the given number of items matching the given qualified or unqualified item ID. This reduces the stack size for matching items until a total of <samp>count</samp> have been removed, and clears any slots which reach a stack size of zero.
 +
|}</li>
 +
<li>Many common operations have been unified, so previously player-only methods can now be used with chests too.</li>
 +
<li>It has an internal index by item ID, so operations like <code>items.ContainsId("(O)128")</code> are much more efficient since they no longer iterate the list.</li>

===Other item changes for C# mods===
|-
+
* Placed object changes:
| <samp>SeedDropItems</samp>
+
** Every placed object now has a <samp>Location</samp> property set to the location which contains it. This removes location parameters from many object methods.
| ''(Optional)'' When a seed is dropped subject to <samp>SeedChance</samp>, the item to drop instead of the item specified by <samp>SeedItemId</samp>. If this is empty or none match, the <samp>SeedItemId</samp> will be dropped instead.
+
** Setting an object's tile position through <samp>obj.TileLocation</samp> now recalculcates its collision box automatically. (Setting it through the <samp>tileLocation</samp> net field directly won't though.)
 +
** The <samp>obj.IsScarecrow()</samp> and <samp>GetScarecrowRadius()</samp> methods now work for non-bigcraftable objects too.
 +
* Clothing changes:
 +
** <samp>Clothes.clothesType</samp> is now an enum field.
 +
** Clothing is no longer gender-specific. This renames <samp>indexInTileSheetMale</samp> to <samp>indexInTileSheet</samp>, obsoletes <samp>indexInTileSheetFemale</samp>, and converts gender-variant clothing into regular items.
 +
** Removed unused <samp>ClothesType.ACCESSORY</samp> value.
 +
** <samp>Farmer.pants</samp> and <samp>Farmer.shirt</samp> now store the item ID instead of the sprite index.
 +
** In <samp>Data/TailoringRecipes</samp>, added a <samp>CraftingIdFeminine</samp> field which overrides <samp>CraftingId</samp> for female characters.
 +
* Crop changes:
 +
** Added <samp>Game1.cropData</samp> to read crop info without constantly reloading the <samp>Data/Crops</samp> asset.
 +
** Removed most crop fields which only mirror the data (like <samp>harvestMethod</samp> or <samp>seasonsToGrowIn</samp>). Mods can get the info through <samp>crop.GetData()</samp> instead.
 +
** Partly de-hardcoded fertilizer logic. Almost all fertilizer logic is now centralized into a new patchable set of <samp>HoeDirt</samp> methods (see list below). The only fertilizer logic that's still embedded elsewhere is the interaction errors in <samp>Utility.tryToPlaceItem</samp>.
 +
** HoeDirt.fertilizer.Value is now set to <samp>null</samp> when there is no fertilizer. Both qualified and unqualified IDs should be expected.
 +
** Removed <samp>crop.InferSeedIndex()</samp>. This was used to support old crops, which are now fixed by a save migration instead.
 +
* Tool changes:
 +
** Fixed various logic not handling custom tool upgrade levels.
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>Other item logic:<ul>
 +
<li>Simplified the constructors for many item types, particularly <samp>Object</samp>.</li>
 +
<li>[[Honey]] items now have their <samp>preserve</samp> field set to a new <samp>Honey</samp> type (instead of null).</li>
 +
<li>The <samp>Object.performObjectDropInAction</samp> method now applies the <samp>probe</samp> argument much more consistently. This only affects method calls with <samp>probe: true</samp>.</li>
 +
<li>The <samp>Item.salePrice()</samp> method now has option to get the price without [[Multiplayer#Profit margins|profit margins]].</li>
 +
<li>Added new fields & methods:

* Item data changes:
|-
+
** The display name field now exists in English too for <samp>Data/Boots</samp>, <samp>Data/Bundles</samp>, <samp>Data/CookingRecipes</samp>, <samp>Data/CraftingRecipes</samp>, <samp>Data/Furniture</samp>, <samp>Data/Hats</samp>, and <samp>Data/Weapons</samp>.
| <samp>CustomFields</samp>
+
** The randomly spawned [[The Farm#Stone|stones]], [[The Farm#Wood|twigs]], and [[weeds]] have been formalized into ''litter''. They all now have object type <samp>Litter</samp>, [[Modding:Items#Categories|category]] -999 (<samp>StardewValley.Object.litterCategory</samp>), a relevant display name/description (like ''Gold Stone'' & ''Break apart to obtain gold ore'' instead of ''Stone'' & ''...''), a price of 0 (not sellable), and edibility of -300 (inedible). This also adds all mine ore nodes to <samp>Data/Objects</samp>, so the game no longer creates invalid items to show their sprite. (Doing so in 1.6 will now show an Error Item sprite instead.)
| The [[#Custom data fields|custom fields]] for this entry.
+
** [[Honey]] items now have the <samp>honey_item</samp> context tag.
|}
+
** Shirts no longer have a dynamic numeric ID range; every valid shirt is now listed in [[#Custom shirts|<samp>Data/Shirts</samp>]].
 +
** You can now apply a custom buff ID when the item is eaten, via <samp>Data/Objects</samp>'s <samp>Buff</samp> field.
 +
** The type field in <samp>Data/Objects</samp> is no longer checked using substring matching (e.g. the game now uses <code>data.Type == "Fish"</code> instead of <code>typeAndCategory.Contains("Fish")</code>), which may impact mods which depended on that undocumented behavior.
 +
* Crop changes:
 +
** Paddy crops now recheck for nearby water each day, so they'll update if you add/remove a building with water or change the map layout.
 +
** In <samp>Data/Crops</samp>, each harvest option is now self-contained. For example, you can set <samp>HarvestMinStack</samp> without <samp>ExtraHarvestChance</samp>.
 +
* Fish changes:
 +
** <samp>Data/Fish</samp> is no longer translated, so there's only one <samp>Data/Fish.xnb</samp> field. Fish display names are now taken from <samp>Data/Objects</samp>.
 +
** Added a new field (index 13) in <samp>Data/Fish</samp>, which sets whether the fish can be selected for the first-catch tutorial.
 +
* Recipe changes in <samp>Data/CookingRecipes</samp> and <samp>Data/CraftingRecipes</samp>:
 +
** These assets no longer have language variants.
 +
** The display name now supports [[Modding:Tokenizable strings|tokenizable strings]].
 +
** The display name can now be left blank to get it from the first item in the output list.
 +
* Other item logic:
 +
** Missing recipes that should already be unlocked are now added to the player automatically on save load.
 +
** <samp>Data/Bundles</samp> is now loaded later, so content packs can edit it reliably.</samp>
 +
** Chests with <samp>fridge: true</samp> are now treated as mini-fridges for the cooking menu.
 +
** Gift boxes can now contain multiple items.
 +
** Fixed furniture drawn over sitting players if it has no front texture.
 +
** Fixed tool being upgraded by Clint not affected by recursive item search logic.
 +
** Fixed <samp>tool.getOne()</samp> not copying the tool name.
 +
** Fixed cooking menu constantly creating hovered item if the item/recipe names don't match.

==What's new for locations & weather==
 +
===Custom locations===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Location data]]|done=true}}
   −
====Spawning wild trees====
+
You can now add/edit locations by editing the revamped <samp>Data/Locations</samp> asset. This makes nearly everything in the location configurable — display name, default warp arrival tile, how the location is created, artifact spots / fish / forage / weeds, music, etc.
Custom trees can be added to the game in two ways:
  −
* Spawn them on [[Modding:Maps|map tiles]] when the location is created, using the new <samp>SpawnTree: wild {{t|tree ID}}</samp> tile property. This must be added on the <samp>Paths</samp> layer, which must also have tile index 34 from the <samp>paths</samp> tilesheet.
  −
* Or give the player a seed item in the usual ways (e.g. from [[#Custom shops|a shop]], [[Modding:Mail data|mail letter]], etc).
     −
===Default recipes===
+
See [[Modding:Location data]] for docs on the new data format.
You can now have [[Modding:Recipe data|crafting and cooking recipes]] that are learned automatically by setting the condition field to <samp>default</samp>. Any missing default recipes will be learned on day start.
     −
For example, here's the chest entry from <samp>Data/CraftingRecipes</samp>:
+
===Custom location contexts===
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Location data]] or a new doc page|done=false}}
"Chest": "388 50/Home/130/true/default/"
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
     −
===Global inventories===
+
====Vanilla contexts====
C# mods can now set a <samp>chest.GlobalInventoryId</samp> field to make it share a global inventory with every other chest having the same ID. This replaces the equivalent hardcoded logic for [[Junimo Chest|Junimo chests]], which now just default to a <samp>"JunimoChests"</samp> global inventory ID. For example, this can be used to have multiple Junimo chest networks or make other containers share inventory.
+
* The game previously had two hardcoded location context enums: <samp>Default</samp> (for the valley) and <samp>Island</samp> (for [[Ginger Island]]). These have been replaced with data models which define the location context settings, loaded from the <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp> asset.
 +
* [[The Desert|The desert]] is now part of a new <samp>Desert</samp> context (instead of <samp>Default</samp>). Some of the previously hardcoded desert logic (like always sunny weather) is now just part of the context data in <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp>.
   −
C# mods can also use this to store items for other mod purposes, by using <samp>Game1.player.team.globalInventories</samp> or <samp>Game1.player.team.GetOrCreateGlobalInventory(id)</samp> directly.
+
====Format====
 +
Custom contexts can be created by editing the new <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp> asset, and setting the context name in the location's <samp>LocationContext</samp> [[Modding:Maps|map property]].
   −
===Hats on aquarium fish===
+
The data asset consists of a string → model lookup, where the key matches the <samp>Name</samp> field and the value is a model with these fields:
Custom [[Modding:Fish data|fish in aquariums]] can now wear [[hats]], just like vanilla [[Sea Urchin|sea urchins]]. This can be enabled by specifying a new field in <samp>Data/AquariumFish</samp>:

** Removed most crop fields which only mirror the data (like <samp>harvestMethod</samp> or <samp>seasonsToGrowIn</samp>). Mods can get the info through <samp>crop.GetData()</samp> instead.
  −
** Partly de-hardcoded fertilizer logic. Almost all fertilizer logic is now centralized into a new patchable set of <samp>HoeDirt</samp> methods (see list below). The only fertilizer logic that's still embedded elsewhere is the interaction errors in <samp>Utility.tryToPlaceItem</samp>.
  −
** HoeDirt.fertilizer.Value is now set to <samp>null</samp> when there is no fertilizer. Both qualified and unqualified IDs should be expected.
  −
** Removed <samp>crop.InferSeedIndex()</samp>. This was used to support old crops, which are now fixed by a save migration instead.
  −
* Tool changes:
  −
** Fixed various logic not handling custom tool upgrade levels.
  −
<ul>
  −
<li>Other item logic:<ul>
  −
<li>Simplified the constructors for many item types, particularly <samp>Object</samp>.</li>
  −
<li>[[Honey]] items now have their <samp>preserve</samp> field set to a new <samp>Honey</samp> type (instead of null).</li>
  −
<li>The <samp>Object.performObjectDropInAction</samp> method now applies the <samp>probe</samp> argument much more consistently. This only affects method calls with <samp>probe: true</samp>.</li>
  −
<li>The <samp>Item.salePrice()</samp> method now has option to get the price without [[Multiplayer#Profit margins|profit margins]].</li>
  −
<li>Added new fields & methods:

+
====Example new garbage can====
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
You can add garbage cans using only [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] or [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|SMAPI's content API]]. For example, this content pack adds a new garbage can entry with the ID <samp>Example.ModId_Carpenter</samp>:
if (spawn.IsBossFish)
  −
    fish.SetTempData(nameof(spawn.IsBossFish), true);
     −
...
+
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
 
+
{
fish.TryGetTempData(nameof(SpawnFishData.IsBossFish), out bool bossFish);
+
    "Format": "</nowiki>{{Content Patcher version}}<nowiki>",
</syntaxhighlight>
+
    "Changes": [
|-
+
        {
| <samp>FishingRod</samp>
+
            "Action": "EditData",
| <samp>CanUseBait()</samp><br /><samp>CanUseTackle()</samp><br /><samp>GetBait()</samp><br /><samp>GetTackle()</samp><br /><samp>HasMagicBait()</samp><br /><samp>HasCuriosityLure()</samp>
+
            "Target": "Data/GarbageCans",
| Simplifies working with the fishing rod's [[bait]] and [[tackle]].
+
            "TargetField": [ "GarbageCans" ],
|-
+
            "Entries": {
| <samp>Furniture</samp>
+
                "{{ModId}}_Carpenter": {
| <samp>SetPlacement</samp><br /><samp>SetHeldObject</samp>
+
                    "Items": [
| Set the furniture's position and rotation (<samp>SetPlacement</samp>) or held object (<samp>SetHeldObject</samp>). The latter will initialize the held object's tile position to match the furniture instance.
+
                        // 25% chance of pufferfish
 +
                        {
 +
                            "ID": "{{ModId}}_Pufferfish",
 +
                            "Condition": "RANDOM 0.25",
 +
                            "ItemId": "(O)128"
 +
                        },
 +
 
 +
                        // else guaranteed random House Plant item
 +
                        {
 +
                            "ID": "{{ModId}}_RandomHousePlant",
 +
                            "ItemID": "RANDOM_ITEMS (F) 1376 1390"
 +
                        }
 +
                    ]
 +
                }
 +
            }
 +
        }
 +
    ]
 +
}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
 +
 
 +
Then you'd place an <code>Action: Garbage Example.ModId_Carpenter</code> [[Modding:Maps|map tile property]] to mark a tile as a garbage can using this data.
 +
 
 +
====Example change for existing garbage can====
 +
You can edit an existing garbage cans using only [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] or [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|SMAPI's content API]]. For example, this content pack adds pufferfish to the Saloon garbage can, and moves it above the dish of the day.
 +
 
 +
Note that this uses <samp>TargetField</samp> to 'move into' the item list for the saloon, and then treat those items as the entry list being edited. Specifying an ID which isn't in the list will add a new entry, just like when editing a regular list asset.
   −
These are used by the game to initialize furniture in one go. For example:
+
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
{
// oak table holding decorative bowl

            ]
 +
        }
 +
     ]
 +
}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
 +
 
 +
====Changes for C# mods====
 +
Previously garbage cans were tracked by <samp>Town.garbageChecked</samp>, an array of boolean fields. That approach doesn't work in Stardew Valley 1.6, since we're no longer limited to a specific set of garbage cans in the town map. This has been replaced by <samp>Game1.netWorldState.Value.CheckedGarbage</samp>, which is a hash set of garbage can IDs.

</li>
  −
<li>Modularized <samp>Object.CheckForAction</samp> to simplify mod patches.</li>
  −
<li>Reworked <samp>Item.getOne()</samp> implementation to avoid common pitfalls. (This only affects mods with custom item classes, or which patch <samp>Item.getOne</samp> or <samp>Item._GetOneFrom</samp>.)</li>
  −
</ul>
     −
===Other item changes===
+
===Custom map actions===
* Added per-object display names (''e.g.'' for custom flavored items). See the <samp>ObjectDisplayName</samp> [[#Item spawn fields|item spawn field]], or <samp>object.displayNameFormat</samp> in C#.
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Maps]]|done=false}}
* [[Ginger Island#Gem Birds|Item pedestals]] are now normal item, so you can spawn them using a mod like CJB Item Spawner to display items.
+
 
* Added optional <samp>Condition</samp> [[#Game state queries|game state query]] field to <samp>Data/SpecialOrders</samp>.
+
C# mods can now handle custom <samp>Action</samp> & <samp>TouchAction</samp> [[Modding:Maps|map properties]] by calling <samp>GameLocation.RegisterTileAction</samp> & <samp>RegisterTouchAction</samp>, and passing a callback which receives the location, map property arguments, player who activated it, and tile position.
* Item data changes:
  −
** The display name field now exists in English too for <samp>Data/Boots</samp>, <samp>Data/Bundles</samp>, <samp>Data/CookingRecipes</samp>, <samp>Data/CraftingRecipes</samp>, <samp>Data/Furniture</samp>, <samp>Data/Hats</samp>, and <samp>Data/Weapons</samp>.
  −
** The randomly spawned [[The Farm#Stone|stones]], [[The Farm#Wood|twigs]], and [[weeds]] have been formalized into ''litter''. They all now have object type <samp>Litter</samp>, [[Modding:Items#Categories|category]] -999 (<samp>Game1.litterCategory</samp>), a relevant display name/description (like ''Gold Stone'' & ''Break apart to obtain gold ore'' instead of ''Stone'' & ''...''), a price of 0 (not sellable), and edibility of -300 (inedible). This also adds all mine ore nodes to <samp>Data/Objects</samp>, so the game no longer creates invalid items to show their sprite. (Doing so in 1.6 will now show an Error Item sprite instead.)
  −
** [[Honey]] items now have the <samp>honey_item</samp> context tag.
  −
** Shirts no longer have a dynamic numeric ID range; every valid shirt is now listed in [[#Custom shirts|<samp>Data/Shirts</samp>]].
  −
** You can now apply a custom buff ID when the item is eaten, via <samp>Data/Objects</samp>'s <samp>Buff</samp> field.
  −
** The type field in <samp>Data/Objects</samp> is no longer checked using substring matching (e.g. the game now uses <code>data.Type == "Fish"</code> instead of <code>typeAndCategory.Contains("Fish")</code>), which may impact mods which depended on that undocumented behavior.
  −
* Crop changes:
  −
** Paddy crops now recheck for nearby water each day, so they'll update if you add/remove a building with water or change the map layout.
  −
** In <samp>Data/Crops</samp>, each harvest option is now self-contained. For example, you can set <samp>HarvestMinStack</samp> without <samp>ExtraHarvestChance</samp>.
  −
* Fish changes:
  −
** <samp>Data/Fish</samp> is no longer translated, so there's only one <samp>Data/Fish.xnb</samp> field. Fish display names are now taken from <samp>Data/Objects</samp>.
  −
** Added a new field (index 13) in <samp>Data/Fish</samp>, which sets whether the fish can be selected for the first-catch tutorial.
  −
* Recipe changes in <samp>Data/CookingRecipes</samp> and <samp>Data/CraftingRecipes</samp>:
  −
** These assets no longer have language variants.
  −
** The display name now supports [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable strings]].
  −
** The display name can now be left blank to get it from the first item in the output list.
  −
* Other item logic:
  −
** <samp>Data/Bundles</samp> is now loaded later, so content packs can edit it reliably.</samp>
  −
** Fixed furniture drawn over sitting players if it has no front texture.
     −
==What's new for locations & weather==
+
For example, let's say you want a locked gate which needs a custom key item. You can add a regular <code>TouchAction Example.ModId_UnlockGate</code> map property (e.g. by adding it directly in the map file, or using [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]]'s <samp>EditMap</samp>, or using the [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|content API]]). Then you can just handle the logic from your C# mod:
===Custom locations===
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
You can now add/edit locations by editing the revamped <samp>Data/Locations</samp> asset.

    }

====Location format====
+
    private void HandleUnlockGate(GameLocation location, string[] args, Farmer player, Vector2 tile)
The asset consists of a string → model lookup, where...
+
    {
* The key is the internal name of the location to change, which will also be used as the location's <samp>Name</samp> (not <samp>DisplayName</samp>) field. This should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters, and custom locations' names should be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_LocationName</samp>. (The farm will use <samp>Farm_{{t|type key}}</samp> for a vanilla farm type, or <samp>Farm_{{t|type ID}}</samp> for a custom farm type, or <samp>Farm_Standard</samp> if no type-specific entry was found.)
+
        const string mailFlag = "Example.ModId_GateUnlocked";

This consists of a model with these fields:

        // NOTE: this is a quick example which changes the location's current map. If another mod reloads the map
 +
        // (e.g. a content pack editing it), the change will be lost. For persistent changes, you should use the

        // AssetRequested event to apply the change when the map is reloaded.

        IAssetDataForMap mapHelper = this.Helper.GameContent.GetPatchHelper(location.map).AsMap();

            this.Helper.Content.Load<Map>("assets/unlocked-gate.tmx"),

        );
 +
    }

 +
As another example, let's say you want the gate to unlock when the player presses the action key. You can add a regular <code>Action Example.ModId_UnlockGate</code> map property (e.g. by adding it directly in the map file, or using [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]]'s <samp>EditMap</samp>, or using the [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|content API]]).

You can now add any number of [[Modding:Maps|map layers]] by suffixing a vanilla layer name (i.e. <samp>Back</samp>, <samp>Buildings</samp>, <samp>Front</samp>, or <samp>AlwaysFront</samp>) with an offset. For example, <samp>Back-1</samp> will be drawn before/under <samp>Back</samp>, and <samp>Back2</samp> will be drawn after/over it. You can increment the number to add more layers.

This only affects layer rendering. Tile properties must still be set on the original layers.

Notes:
+
(A ''passive festival'' is a [[festivals|festival]] like the [[Night Market]]. They replace a location for a period of time, the player can enter/leave them anytime, and time continues passing while at the festival.)
* Unlike other item spawn lists, these entries aren't checked sequentially. Instead, the game...
  −
*# combines this list with any forage in the <samp>Default</samp> location entry;
  −
*# adds every forage entry whose <samp>Condition</samp> and <samp>Season</samp> match to a spawn pool;
  −
*# chooses a random number of spawn ''opportunities'' (between 1 and 4);
  −
*# for each spawn opportunity, chooses a random tile position and forage to spawn. If the spawn fails (e.g. the tile is water/occupied or the forage's <samp>Chance</samp> doesn't pass), the game will make nine other attempts with a re-randomized tile & forage before skipping this spawn opportunity.
  −
* The stack size is ignored.

| ''(Optional)'' The music context for this location. The recommended values are <samp>Default</samp> or <samp>SubLocation</samp>. Default <samp>Default</samp>.
     −
Setting <samp>SubLocation</samp> has two effects:
+
These must be specified in the form <samp>{{t|full type name}}: {{t|method name}}</samp> (like <samp>ExampleMod.Namespace.Type, ExampleMod: MethodName</samp>). The methods must be static, take zero arguments, and return void.
* <samp>SubLocation</samp> has a lower priority than <samp>Default</samp>. In split-screen mode, that means if player A is at a location with a <samp>Default</samp> music context, and player B is a location with a <samp>SubLocation</samp> context, the game will choose player A's music.
  −
* When the player leaves a location with <samp>SubLocation</samp> music, the music will be stopped unless the new location has the same music and music context set.

====NPC schedules====

When a passive festival is active, NPCs will check for [[Modding:Schedule data|a schedule entry]] in this order:
 +
 
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-
 +
! syntax
 +
! summary
 
|-
 
|-
! field
+
| <samp>{{t|festival ID}}_{{t|festival day}}</samp>
! effect
+
| Applies on the given date. The {{t|festival day}} is relative, so <samp>1</samp> matches the festival <samp>StartDay</samp>.<br /><small>Example: <samp>NightMarket_3</samp> or <samp>marriage_NightMarket_3</samp></small>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>CustomFields</samp>
+
| <samp>{{t|festival ID}}</samp>
| The [[#Custom data fields|custom fields]] for this entry.
+
| Applies if there's no date-specific entry.<br /><small>Example: <samp>NightMarket</samp> or <samp>marriage_NightMarket</samp></small>
 
|}
 
|}
   −
====<samp>Default</samp> entry====
+
If the NPC is married to a player, they'll add a <samp>marriage_</samp> prefix to the keys (like <samp>marriage_{{t|festival ID}}_{{t|festival day}}</samp>) and ignore any entry without the prefix.
The asset has a location with the key <samp>Default</samp>. The <samp>ArtifactSpots</samp>, <samp>Fish</samp>, and <samp>Forage</samp> fields for this entry are added to every other location's equivalent fields, so this lets you add artifact spots / fish / forage in all locations.
     −
===Custom location contexts===
+
===Custom weather===
====Vanilla contexts====
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Weather data]]|done=false}}
* The game previously had two hardcoded location context enums: <samp>Default</samp> (for the valley) and <samp>Island</samp> (for [[Ginger Island]]). These have been replaced with data models which define the location context settings, loaded from the <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp> asset.
+
 
* [[The Desert|The desert]] is now part of a new <samp>Desert</samp> context (instead of <samp>Default</samp>). Some of the previously hardcoded desert logic (like always sunny weather) is now just part of the context data in <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp>.
+
You can now change the weather algorithm by editing [[#Custom location contexts|location context data]], and (with a C# mod) implement custom weathers.
 +
 
 +
Fields like <samp>Game1.weather</samp> and <samp>Game1.weatherForTomorrow</samp> are now strings to support custom mod weather IDs. The change for vanilla weather has no effect on Content Patcher packs, since the new weather IDs match the ones Content Patcher was using before (i.e. <samp>Sun</samp>, <samp>Rain</samp>, <samp>Snow</samp>, <samp>Storm</samp>, and <samp>Wind</samp>). C# mods may also see a <samp>Festival</samp> weather, while Content Patcher packs will see <samp>Sun</samp> for it. The constants like <samp>Game1.weather_sunny</samp> have the new string values (with new constants like <samp>Game1.legacy_weather_sunny</samp> for the legacy values).
 +
 
 +
The base game will treat an invalid weather as sunny. C# mods can implement custom weather effects using [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Events|normal SMAPI events]] like <samp>UpdateTicked</samp>, or by [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Harmony|patching]] methods like <samp>Game1.ApplyWeatherForNewDay</samp> and <samp>Game1.populateDebrisWeatherArray</samp>.
 +
 
 +
===Custom world maps===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:World map]]|done=true}}
 +
 
 +
[[File:Modding map area.png|thumb|The default world map, with the farm map area highlighted.]]
 +
 
 +
You can now change the world map shown in the game menu by editing the <samp>Data/WorldMap</samp> asset. This lets you...
 +
* add custom maps for certain locations;
 +
* apply texture overlays;
 +
* add/edit tooltips;
 +
* set real-time player marker positioning;
 +
* etc.
 +
 
 +
The game's default map is fully defined in <samp>Data/WorldMap</samp>, including all the display text and conditional changes.
   −
====Format====
+
===New map properties===
Custom contexts can be created by editing the new <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp> asset, and setting the context name in the location's <samp>LocationContext</samp> [[Modding:Maps|map property]].
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Maps]]|done=false}}
   −
The data asset consists of a string → model lookup, where the key matches the <samp>Name</samp> field and the value is a model with these fields:
+
1.6 adds several new [[Modding:Maps|map properties]].

  −
|-
  −
| <samp>PassOutMail</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' When the player passes out (due to [[energy|exhaustion]] or at 2am) in this context, the possible [[Modding:Mail data|letter IDs]] to add to their mailbox (if they haven't received it before). If multiple letters are valid, one will be chosen randomly (unless one specifies <samp>SkipRandomSelection</samp>).

+
| The items that should appear in the initial gift box placed in the farmhouse when the save is created. This consists of one or more pairs of item ID (which can be qualified or unqualified) and count. The count is optional on the last entry.
   −
The game will look for an existing letter ID in <samp>Data/mail</samp> in this order (where {{t|billed}} is <samp>Billed</samp> if they lost [[gold]] or <samp>NotBilled</samp> otherwise, and {{t|gender}} is <samp>Female</samp> or <samp>Male</samp>):

===Custom garbage cans===
+
===Other location/map changes===
====Format====
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Maps]] and other pages as needed|done=false}}
You can now add or edit [[Garbage Can|garbage cans]] on any map by editing the new <samp>Data/GarbageCans</samp> asset (see examples below).
  −
 
  −
The asset consists of a data model with these fields:
      +
* Farm data:
 +
** Added <samp>SpawnMonstersByDefault</samp> field to <samp>Data/AdditionalFarms</samp> to set the default value of the 'spawn monsters at night' [[Options#Advanced Game Options|advanced save option]].
 +
** Fixed crash on new-save screen if the farm type's tooltip has no description.
 +
* General location data:
 +
** All locations can now have animals. The <samp>IAnimalLocation</samp> is now obsolete and implemented by <samp>GameLocation</samp>.
 +
** Added new [[Modding:Fish data|fishing areas]] to simplify compatibility between fish & map mods (specifically for hilltop farm, wilderness farm, town, and desert).
 +
** Added a descriptive error when a required location or layer isn't found. Mods can use <samp>map.RequireLayer</samp> and <samp>Game1.RequireLocation</samp> to get a location with similar error-checking.
 +
** Added <samp>WarpPathfindingCache</samp> for C# mods, which modularizes the NPC warp route logic. You can edit its <samp>IgnoreLocationNames</samp>, <samp>OverrideTargetNames</samp>, and <samp>GenderRestrictions</samp> fields if needed for custom locations.
 +
** Game logic which checks tile indexes is now more fault-tolerant, so it won't crash if an expected tile was edited.
 +
** Finished migrating <samp>DecoratableLocation</samp> flooring/wallpaper areas to string IDs (started in Stardew Valley 1.5.5).
 +
* General map changes:
 +
** Added validation for [[Modding:Maps|map properties and tile properties]]. If the format is invalid, the game will now log a detailed error and skip it.
 +
** Removed unused [[Modding:Maps#Paths layer|path tiles]] in <samp>Maps/paths</samp> and all map files.
 +
* Location context data:
 +
** Building interiors now inherit their parent's location context by default.
 +
** Added <samp>Game1.locationContextData</samp> to cache the data from <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp>.
 +
** Added constants for the vanilla context IDs like <samp>LocationContexts.IslandId</samp>.
 +
** Added validation for required location context IDs (and <samp>LocationContexts.Require(id)</samp> for mod logic).
 +
** Removed the <samp>Name</samp> field in <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp>, which duplicated the ID.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
                            "ID": "Example.ModId_RandomHousePlant",
+
string[] fields = Game1.currentLocation.GetMapPropertySplitBySpaces("ScreenshotRegion");

     −
Then you'd place an <code>Action: Garbage Example.ModId_Carpenter</code> [[Modding:Maps|map tile property]] to mark a tile as a garbage can using this data.
+

 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
bool canUseCasks = Game1.currentLocation.HasMapPropertyWithValue("CanCaskHere");

   −
====Example change for existing garbage can====
+
For example:
You can edit an existing garbage cans using only [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] or [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|SMAPI's content API]]. For example, this content pack adds pufferfish to the Saloon garbage can, and moves it above the dish of the day.
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 
+
if (this.TryGetMapProperty("Warps", out string warps))
Note that this uses <samp>TargetField</samp> to 'move into' the item list for the saloon, and then treat those items as the entry list being edited. Specifying an ID which isn't in the list will add a new entry, just like when editing a regular list asset.

    ]

     −
===Custom map actions===
+
For example:
C# mods can now handle custom <samp>Action</samp> & <samp>TouchAction</samp> [[Modding:Maps|map properties]] by calling <samp>GameLocation.RegisterTileAction</samp> & <samp>RegisterTouchAction</samp>, and passing a callback which receives the location, map property arguments, player who activated it, and tile position.
  −
 
  −
For example, let's say you want a locked gate which needs a custom key item. You can add a regular <code>TouchAction Example.ModId_UnlockGate</code> map property (e.g. by adding it directly in the map file, or using [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]]'s <samp>EditMap</samp>, or using the [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|content API]]). Then you can just handle the logic from your C# mod:
   
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
internal class ModEntry : Mod
+
if (!this.TryGetMapPropertyAs("MailboxLocation", out Point position))
 
{
 
{
     /// <inheritdoc />
+
     position = new Point(68, 16); // default value
    public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
+
}
    {
+
</syntaxhighlight>
        GameLocation.RegisterTouchAction("Example.ModId_UnlockGate", this.HandleUnlockGate);
+
|-
    }
+
| <samp>removeObjectsAndSpawned</samp>
 
+
| Remove all objects, bushes, resource clumps, and terrain features within a tile area.
    private void HandleUnlockGate(GameLocation location, string[] args, Farmer player, Vector2 tile)
  −
    {
  −
        const string mailFlag = "Example.ModId_GateUnlocked";
  −
        const string keyId = "Example.ModId_GateKey";
  −
 
  −
        // unlock gate if locked
  −
        if (!player.mailReceived.Contains(mailFlag))
  −
        {
  −
            if (!Game1.player.Items.ContainsId(id, count))
  −
            {
  −
                Game1.activeClickableMenu = new DialogueBox("This gate is locked. I wonder where the key is?");
  −
                return;
  −
            }
  −
 
  −
            player.removeFirstOfThisItemFromInventory(keyId);
  −
            player.mailReceived.Add(mailFlag);
  −
        }
  −
 
  −
        // apply open-gate map edit
  −
        IAssetDataForMap mapHelper = this.Helper.Content.GetPatchHelper(location.map).AsMap();
  −
        mapHelper.PatchMap(
  −
            this.Helper.Content.Load<Map>("assets/unlocked-gate.tmx"),
  −
            targetArea: new Rectangle((int)tile.X - 1, (int)tile.Y - 1, 2, 2)
  −
        );
  −
    }
  −
}
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
 
  −
===Custom map layers===
  −
You can now add any number of [[Modding:Maps|map layers]] by suffixing a vanilla layer name (i.e. <samp>Back</samp>, <samp>Buildings</samp>, <samp>Front</samp>, or <samp>AlwaysFront</samp>) with an offset. For example, <samp>Back-1</samp> will be drawn before/under <samp>Back</samp>, and <samp>Back2</samp> will be drawn after/over it. You can increment the number to add more layers.
  −
 
  −
This only affects layer rendering. Tile properties must still be set on the original layers.
  −
 
  −
===Custom minecarts===
  −
You can now add/edit [[minecart]] destinations by editing the <samp>Data\Minecarts</samp> data asset, which consists of a data model with two relevant fields (listed below).
  −
 
  −
{| class="wikitable"

 +
| Equivalent to the matching <samp>MineShaft</samp> methods, but for the [[Volcano Dungeon]].

 +
</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
* Added map/tile property <samp>TryAdd</samp>/<samp>TryGetValue</samp> extensions in <samp>StardewValley.Extensions</samp> for string property values. For example, this lets you do <samp>map.Properties.TryGetValue(key, out string value)</samp>.

Destinations in a network are only visible if the destination list is opened for that network via the <samp>MinecartTransport {{o|network name}}</samp> [[Modding:Maps|action property]]. If omitted, the minecart is part of the implicit default network.
+
| A [[Modding:Tokenizable strings|tokenizable string]] for the display name and description (e.g. shown in the construction menu).
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Condition</samp>

===Custom passive festivals===
  −
You can now add or modify passive festivals by editing the <samp>Data/PassiveFestivals</samp> asset.
  −
 
  −
(A ''passive festival'' is a [[festivals|festival]] like the [[Night Market]]. They replace a location for a period of time, the player can enter/leave them anytime, and time continues passing while at the festival.)
  −
 
  −
====Data format====
  −
The <samp>Data/PassiveFestivals</samp> asset consists of a string → model lookup, where...
  −
* The key is the unique festival ID. This should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters. For custom festivals, it should ideally be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_FestivalName</samp>.
  −
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

The vanilla values are [[Carpenter's Shop|<samp>Robin</samp>]] and [[Wizard's Tower#Buildings|<samp>Wizard</samp>]], but you can specify a different name if a C# mod opens a construction menu for them. Defaults to <samp>Robin</samp>. If omitted, it won't appear in any menu.

| <samp>ItemId</samp>
| A [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable string]] for the in-game [[wikipedia:Pop-up notification|toast notification]] shown when the festival begins each day.
+
| The required item ID (qualified or unqualified).
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>MapReplacements</samp>
+
| <samp>Amount</samp>
| The locations to swap for the duration of the festival. Despite the field name, this swaps '''locations''' (e.g. as added by <samp>CustomLocations</samp> using [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]]), and not the location's map asset.
+
| The number of the item required.
 
+
|}
This is specified as a string → string lookup, where the key is the original location to replace and the value is the new location. Both use the internal location name, as shown by the {{nexus mod|679|Debug Mode}} mod. For example, this swaps the <samp>Beach</samp> location with <samp>BeachNightMarket</samp> during the [[Night Market]]:
  −

|-
 
|-
| <samp>ShowOnCalendar</samp>
+
| <samp>BuildCondition</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' Whether the festival appears on the [[calendar]], using the same iridium-star icon as the [[Calendar#Winter|Night Market]]. Default true.

| Applies on the given date. The {{t|festival day}} is relative, so <samp>1</samp> matches the festival <samp>StartDay</samp>.<br /><small>Example: <samp>NightMarket_3</samp> or <samp>marriage_NightMarket_3</samp></small>
+
| The tile area relative to the top-left corner of the building, specified as an object with <samp>X</samp>, <samp>Y</samp>, <samp>Width</samp>, and <samp>Height</samp> fields.

+
| ''(Optional)'' Whether this area allows tiles that would normally not be buildable, so long as they are passable. For example, this is used to ensure that an entrance is accessible. Default false.
 
|}
 
|}
  −
If the NPC is married to a player, they'll add a <samp>marriage_</samp> prefix to the keys (like <samp>marriage_{{t|festival ID}}_{{t|festival day}}</samp>) and ignore any entry without the prefix.
  −
  −
===Custom weather===
  −
You can now change the weather algorithm by editing [[#Custom location contexts|location context data]], and (with a C# mod) implement custom weathers.
  −
  −
Fields like <samp>Game1.weather</samp> and <samp>Game1.weatherForTomorrow</samp> are now strings to support custom mod weather IDs. The change for vanilla weather has no effect on Content Patcher packs, since the new weather IDs match the ones Content Patcher was using before (i.e. <samp>Sun</samp>, <samp>Rain</samp>, <samp>Snow</samp>, <samp>Storm</samp>, and <samp>Wind</samp>). C# mods may also see a <samp>Festival</samp> weather, while Content Patcher packs will see <samp>Sun</samp> for it. The constants like <samp>Game1.weather_sunny</samp> have the new string values (with new constants like <samp>Game1.legacy_weather_sunny</samp> for the legacy values).
  −
  −
The base game will treat an invalid weather as sunny. C# mods can implement custom weather effects using [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Events|normal SMAPI events]] like <samp>UpdateTicked</samp>, or by [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Harmony|patching]] methods like <samp>Game1.ApplyWeatherForNewDay</samp> and <samp>Game1.populateDebrisWeatherArray</samp>.
  −
  −
===Custom world maps===
  −
[[File:Modding map area.png|thumb|The default world map, with the farm map area highlighted.]]
  −
  −
You can now change the world map shown in the game menu by editing the <samp>Data/WorldMap</samp> asset. This lets you...
  −
* add custom maps for certain locations;
  −
* apply texture overlays;
  −
* add/edit tooltips;
  −
* set real-time player marker positioning;
  −
* etc.
  −
  −
The game's default map is fully defined in <samp>Data/WorldMap</samp>, including all the display text and conditional changes.
  −
  −
See [[Modding:World map]] for more info.
  −
  −
===New map properties===

| ''(Optional)'' A pixel offset applied to the building sprite's placement in the world. Default 0.
** Fixed crash on new-save screen if the farm type's tooltip has no description.
+

* General location data:
+
| <samp>SeasonOffset</samp>
** All locations can now have animals. The <samp>IAnimalLocation</samp> is now obsolete and implemented by <samp>GameLocation</samp>.
+
| ''(Optional)'' A pixel offset to apply each season. This is applied to the <samp>SourceRect</samp> position by multiplying the offset by 0 (spring), 1 (summer), 2 (fall), or 3 (winter). Default 0, so all seasons use the same source rect.
** Added new [[Modding:Fish data|fishing areas]] to simplify compatibility between fish & map mods (specifically for hilltop farm, wilderness farm, town, and desert).
+
|-
** Added a descriptive error when a required location or layer isn't found. Mods can use <samp>map.RequireLayer</samp> and <samp>Game1.RequireLocation</samp> to get a location with similar error-checking.
+
| <samp>SortTileOffset</samp>
** Added <samp>WarpPathfindingCache</samp> for C# mods, which modularizes the NPC warp route logic. You can edit its <samp>IgnoreLocationNames</samp>, <samp>OverrideTargetNames</samp>, and <samp>GenderRestrictions</samp> fields if needed for custom locations.
+
| ''(Optional)'' A Y tile offset applied when figuring out render layering. For example, a value of <samp>2.5</samp> will treat the building as if it was 2.5 tiles further up the screen for the purposes of layering. Default 0.
** Game logic which checks tile indexes is now more fault-tolerant, so it won't crash if an expected tile was edited.
+
|-
** Finished migrating <samp>DecoratableLocation</samp> flooring/wallpaper areas to string IDs (started in Stardew Valley 1.5.5).
+
| <samp>DrawLayers</samp>
* General map changes:
+
| ''(Optional)'' A list of textures to draw over or behind the building, with support for conditions and animations. This consists of a list of models with these fields:
** Added validation for [[Modding:Maps|map properties and tile properties]]. If the format is invalid, the game will now log a detailed error and skip it.
  −
** Removed unused [[Modding:Maps#Paths layer|path tiles]] in <samp>Maps/paths</samp> and all map files.
  −
* Location context data:
  −
** Building interiors now inherit their parent's location context by default.
  −
** Added <samp>Game1.locationContextData</samp> to cache the data from <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp>.
  −
** Added constants for the vanilla context IDs like <samp>LocationContexts.IslandId</samp>.
  −
** Added validation for required location context IDs (and <samp>LocationContexts.Require(id)</samp> for mod logic).
  −
** Removed the <samp>Name</samp> field in <samp>Data/LocationContexts</samp>, which duplicated the ID.

| ''(Optional)'' The '''last segment''' of the NPC's portrait and sprite asset names. For example, set to <samp>Abigail</samp> to use <samp>Portraits/Abigail</samp> and <samp>Characters/Abigail</samp> respectively. Defaults to the internal NPC name.
 
+
|-
The base game recognizes these properties:
+
| <samp>Appearance</samp>
 +
| ''(Optional)'' The portrait/sprite textures to use.
 +
 
 +
This can list any number of appearance options. They'll be sorted by <samp>Precedence</samp> value (with lower values taking priority), then filtered to those whose fields match. If multiple matching appearances have precedence, one entry is randomly chosen based on their relative weight. This randomization is stable per day, so the NPC always makes the same choice until the next day. If a portrait/sprite can't be loaded (or no appearances match), the NPC will use the default asset based on <samp>TextureName</samp>.
 +
 
 +
The NPC rechecks this field each time they change location.
 +
 
 +
This consists of a list of models with these fields:

 +
| ''(Optional)'' The season in which this appearance should be used (one of <samp>spring</samp>, <samp>summer</samp>, <samp>fall</samp>, or <samp>winter</samp>), or omit for any season. Defaults to any season.
 +
|-

|-
 
|-
| <samp>ChimneyPosition: {{t|x}} {{t|y}}</samp>
+
| <samp>Condition</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The pixel position at which to place a chimney on the building exterior, relative to the top-left corner of the sprite. This will apply the same logic as the farmhouse chimney (e.g. producing smoke if there's a lit fireplace inside the building).
+
| ''(Optional)'' A [[Modding:Game state queries|game state query]] which indicates whether this entry can be selected. Default true.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>ChimneyPosition{{o|upgrade level}}: {{t|x}} {{t|y}}</samp>

| ''(Optional, for farmhouses/cabins only)'' Override <samp>ChimneyPosition</samp> for the given upgrade level, starting from 0 for the initial farmhouse/cabin. If there's no override for the current upgrade level, the highest override for a lower upgrade level is used (if any). For example, <samp>ChimneyPosition3</samp> would be used for the third house upgrade (and the fourth if there's no <samp>ChimneyPosition4</samp>).
+
| ''(Optional)'' The asset name for the portraits and/or sprites texture to load. If omitted or it can't be loaded, it will default to the default asset per the <samp>Texture</samp> field.

This can also contain arbitrary custom properties, which C# mods can read using <samp>building.GetMetadata(key)</samp>.
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>BuildingType</samp>
+
| <samp>IsIslandAttire</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The full name of the C# type to instantiate for the building instance. Defaults to a generic <samp>Building</samp> instance.
+
| ''(Optional)'' Whether this is island beach attire worn at the resort. Default false.
   −
'''⚠ Caution:''' this is meant to support vanilla building types like <samp>StardewValley.Shed</samp>. Setting this to a non-vanilla type will cause a crash when it's written to the save file, and may cause crashes in multiplayer. If you need custom behavior, consider handling it in C# based on the building type instead of creating a custom subclass; otherwise you'll need a framework mod like {{nexus mod|1348|SpaceCore}} to handle serialization and multiplayer sync.
+
This is mutually exclusive: NPCs will never wear it in other contexts if it's true, and will never wear it as island attire if it's false.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>ModData</samp>
+
| <samp>Precedence</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A string → string lookup of arbitrary <samp>modData</samp> values to attach to the building when it's constructed.
+
| ''(Optional)'' The order in which this entry should be checked, where lower values are checked first. This can be a negative value. Default 0.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>CustomFields</samp>
+
| <samp>Weight</samp>
| The [[#Custom data fields|custom fields]] for this entry.
+
| ''(Optional)'' If multiple entries with the same <samp>Precedence</samp> match, the relative weight to use when randomly choosing one. Default 1.
 +
 
 +
For example, let's say two appearance entries match: one has a weight of 2, and the other has a weight of 1. Their probability of being chosen is 2/3 and 1/3 respectively.

'''Note:''' the default textures based on <samp>TextureName</samp> must still exist, even if you use this field to override them.
Buildings and animals are no longer hardcoded to the [[The Farm|farm]] location (except [[cabin]]s and the [[farmhouse]] which still are). You can allow building construction for any location using the [[#Map/tile property changes|new <samp>CanBuildHere</samp> and related map properties]]. The game will adjust accordingly (e.g. Robin will let you choose where to construct the building).
+
|-
 +
| <samp>MugShotSourceRect</samp>
 +
| ''(Optional)'' The 16x24-pixel area in the character's sprite texture to show as their mug shot icon in the calendar, social menu, and other contexts. Defaults to part of their first sprite.
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>Size</samp>
 +
| ''(Optional)'' The pixel size of the individual sprites in their overworld sprite spritesheet. Specified as a model with <samp>X</samp> and <samp>Y</samp> fields. Defaults to <samp>(16, 32)</samp>.
 +
 
 +
'''Note:''' sizes bigger than 16×32 will cause issues like broken spawning, pathfinding, misalignment in the [[perfection]] end-game slide show, etc.

|-
 +
| <samp>Breather</samp>
 +
| ''(Optional)'' Whether the chest on the NPC's overworld sprite puffs in and out as they breathe. Default true</samp>.
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>BreathChestRect</samp>
 +
| ''(Optional)'' A [[Modding:Common data field types#Rectangle|rectangle]] pixel area within the spritesheet which expands and contracts to simulate breathing, relative to the top-left corner of the source rectangle for their current sprite. Omit to calculate it automatically. This should be omitted for most NPCs, unless they have a non-standard size.
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>BreathChestPosition</samp>
 +
| ''(Optional)'' A [[Modding:Common data field types#Point|point]] pixel offset to apply to the NPC's <samp>BreathChestPosition</samp> when drawn over the NPC. Omit to calculate it automatically. This should be omitted for most NPCs, unless they have a non-standard size.
 +

[[Modding:NPC data|Custom NPC data]] has been overhauled in 1.6. The new <samp>Data/Characters</samp> asset (which replaces <samp>Data/NPCDispositions</samp> + <samp>Data/spousePatios</samp> + <samp>Data/spouseRooms</samp>) uses a data model format that's easier to edit and understand, and has a lot of fields to customize previously-hardcoded data.

Each NPC can now have any number of custom portraits/sprites in <samp>Data/Characters</samp> with arbitrary conditions. This lets mods add features like indoor/outdoor outfits without the performance impact of reloading textures. If multiple outfits apply, the game will choose between them with a day-stable randomization.
 +
 
 +
For example, you can load indoor/outdoor outfits for a custom NPC to swap between automatically:

+
* The pet bowl is now a building which can be constructed or moved. Each pet is assigned to an available pet bowl. For C# mods, each pet now has a <samp>guid</samp> field populated with a unique ID, and each pet bowl has a <samp>petGuid</samp> field which tracks its owner (see the <samp>PetBowl::HasPet()</samp> and <samp>PetBowl::FindPet()</samp> methods).
 +
* In the [[Modding:Event data#Basic format|event character setup]], you can now use <samp>pet</samp> to add a pet of the player's selected type. Its actor name will be <samp>PetActor</samp> in other event commands. This supersedes <samp>cat</samp> (with name <samp>Cat</samp>) and <samp>dog</samp> (with name <samp>Dog</samp>), though those still work too.
 +
* For C# mods:
 +
** All pets now use a generic <samp>Pet</samp> class, instead of <samp>Cat</samp> or <samp>Dog</samp>. The pet type is tracked by the pet's <samp>petType</samp> field.
 +
** The player's preferred pet type is tracked by <samp>Game1.player.whichPetType</samp>. The former <samp>catPerson</samp> field is now readonly and checks that field.
 +
** Added <samp>Pet.type_cat</samp> and <samp>Pet.type_dog</samp> constants for the default pet types.

+
| ''(Optional, specialized)'' If set, marks the call as having a simple dialogue string without an NPC name and portrait, with lines split into multiple boxes by this substring.

  −
  happiness_modifier = happiness - 100
     −
((friendship + happiness_modifier) / DeluxeProduceCareDivisor) + (daily_luck * DeluxeProduceLuckMultiplier)
+
You should omit this in most cases, and use the regular dialogue format in <samp>Dialogue</samp> to split lines if needed. This is mainly intended to support some older vanilla phone calls.
</pre>
  −
 
  −
Specifically:
  −
* <samp>DeluxeProduceCareDivisor</samp> reduces the bonus from friendship and happiness, so a lower value ''increases'' the probability of producing the deluxe item. Default 1200.
  −
* <samp>DeluxeProduceLuckMultiplier</samp> increases the effect of [[Luck|daily luck]]. Default 0.
  −
 
  −
For example, given a friendship of 102 and happiness of 150, the probability with the default field values will be <code>((102 + 0) / 1200) + (daily_luck * 0) = (102 / 1200) = 0.085</code> or 8.5%.

+
! command
! effect
+
! description
 +
|- id="gender-switch"
 +
| <samp>${male^female}$</samp><br /><samp>${male^female^non-binary}$</samp>
 +
| Change text depending on the player's gender. This largely supersedes the <samp>^</samp> dialogue token (which still works), and is supported in many more places than that token. This is applied before most other commands or parsing, so it can safely be used in cases where <samp>^</samp> might have a different meaning (e.g. mail text). For example: <code>Ahoy there ${lad^lass}$!</code> or <code>Ahoy there ${lad^lass^matey}$!</code>.
 +
 
 +
You can optionally use <samp>¦</samp> instead of <samp>^</samp>, in which case any <samp>^</samp> characters are left as-is.
 +
 
 +
Note that the non-binary value is only used if a mod overrides the player's gender, since the in-game UI only allows male or female.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>ShowInSummitCredits</samp>
+
| <samp>$action {{t|action}}</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' Whether to show the farm animal in the credit scene on [[The Summit|the summit]] after the player achieves [[perfection]]. Default false.
+
| Run a [[Modding:Trigger actions|trigger action string]], like <samp>$action AddMoney 500</samp> to add {{price|500}} to the current player.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>StatToIncrementOnProduce</samp>
+
| <samp>$query {{t|query}}#{{t|if true}}&#124;{{t|if false}}</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The game stat counters to increment when the animal produces an item. Default none. This consists of a list of models with these fields:
+
| Show different dialogue text depending on the [[Modding:Game state queries|game state query]] in {{t|query}}. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"Mon": "$query !PLAYER_VISITED_LOCATION Current Mine#Did you know there's an old abandoned mine up in the mountain? Apparently it's crawling with monsters!|I heard you went into the old mines up in the mountain!#Did you find anything tasty?$h"

! field
+
| <samp>$t {{t|topic ID}} {{o|day length}}</samp>

|-
 
|-
| <samp>StatName</samp>
+
| <samp>$v {{t|event id}} {{o|check preconditions}} {{o|skip if seen}}</samp>
| The name of the stat counter field on <samp>Game1.stats</samp>.
+
| Immediately start an [[Modding:Event data|event]] and end the current dialogue, subject to the conditions:
|-
+
* {{o|check preconditions}}: whether to ignore the command if the [[Modding:Event data#Event preconditions|event's preconditions]] don't match (one of <samp>true</samp> or <samp>false</samp>). Default true.
| <samp>RequiredTags</samp>
+
* {{o|skip if seen}}: whether to ignore the command if the player has already seen the given event. Default true.
| ''(Optional)'' A comma-delimited list of [[Modding:Items#Context tags|context tags]] required on the main input item. The stat is only incremented if the item has ''all'' of these. You can negate a tag with <samp>!</samp> (like <code>bone_item,!fossil_item</code> for bone items that aren't fossils). Defaults to always enabled.
  −
|}
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>UpDownPetHitboxTileSize</samp><br /><samp>LeftRightPetHitboxTileSize</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' The animal sprite's [[Modding:Modder Guide/Game Fundamentals#Tiles|tile]] size in the world when the player is clicking to pet them, specified in the form <samp>{{t|width}}, {{t|height}}</samp>. The <samp>UpDownPetHitboxTileSize</samp> applies when the animal is facing up or down, and <samp>LeftRightPetHitboxTileSize</samp> applies when facing left or right. The values can be fractional (''e.g.'' cows have a width of 1.75). Both default to a 1×1 tile.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>BabyUpDownPetHitboxTileSize</samp><br /><samp>BabyLeftRightPetHitboxTileSize</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' Overrides <samp>UpDownPetHitboxTileSize</samp> and <samp>LeftRightPetHitboxTileSize</samp> respectively before the animal is an adult. Both default to 1×1 tile.
  −
|}
     −
===Custom pets===
+
If the event is not played, the dialogue continues to the next line instead.
====Format====
  −
You can now create and customize [[Animals#Cat or Dog|pet]]s & pet breeds by editing the new <samp>Data/Pets</samp> asset.
     −
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
+
For example, <code>$v 60367 false false</code> will replay the bus arrival event from the start of the game. <code>$v SomeMod.Test true false#$b#Wow! Good timing!$1</code> will play the event "SomeMod.Test" if the player meets the precondition requirements. If they do not, the dialogue "Wow! Good timing!$1" will play instead.
* The key is a unique identifier for the pet (not the pet breed). The vanilla IDs are <samp>Cat</samp> and <samp>Dog</samp>. For custom pets, this should be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_PetName</samp>.
  −
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.
     −
=====Basic info=====
+
Note: The command will only work if it is at the very start of the dialogue. Adding any dialogue or other commands before it will cause it not to trigger the event and display the event commands as dialogue instead.

|-
 
|-
| <samp>DisplayName</samp>
+
| <samp>$p</samp>
| A [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable string]] for the pet type's display name (e.g. "cat" or "dog"). For example, the vanilla adoption events show this when Marnie asks if you want to adopt the cat/dog.
+
| You can now check multiple answer IDs. For example, this will show the first dialogue if the player chose dialogue answer 17, 18, or 19:
|}
+
<pre>$p 17|18|19#I guess you think nothing would happen, right?$u|Maybe a wicked ghost would appear!</pre>
 +
|}</li>
 +
<li>[[Modding:Dialogue#Response IDs|Dialogue response IDs]] are now [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|unique string IDs]].</li>
 +
<li>[[Secrets#Item Spawn Cheat|Item spawn codes]] now use string item IDs. That means you can spawn any item using its [[#Custom items|qualified item ID]] (like <code>[(F)1664]</code> for a [[Mystic Rug]]), but can no longer prepend zeros (e.g. <code>[128]</code> is a pufferfish but <code>[0128]</code> is an error item).</li>
 +
<li>For C# mods, <samp>Dialogue</samp> now tracks the translation key used to build it (when applicable). For example, you can detect when the player is rejected at the [[Flower Dance]] (derived from {{github|spacechase0/StardewValleyMods|Three-Heart Dance Partner}}):

=====Audio & sprites=====
+
For C# mods that create <samp>Dialogue</samp> instances directly, there's a few ways to do it now:
{| class="wikitable"
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
|-
+
// from a translation key
! field
+
var dialogue = new Dialogue(npc, "Strings\\StringsFromCSFiles:Utility.cs.5360");
! effect
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>BarkSound</samp>
  −
| The [[#Custom audio|cue ID]] for the pet's occasional 'bark' sound.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>ContentSound</samp>
  −
| The [[#Custom audio|cue ID]] for the sound which the pet makes when you pet it.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>RepeatContentSoundAfter</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' The number of milliseconds until the <samp>ContentSound</samp> is repeated once. This is used by the dog, who pants twice when pet. Defaults to -1 (disabled).
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>EmoteOffset</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' A pixel offset for the emote drawn above the pet sprite, specified as an object with <samp>X</samp> and <samp>Y</samp> fields. For example, this affects the heart emote shown after petting it. Default none.
  −
|}
     −
=====Events=====
+
// from custom text (with or without a translation key)
{| class="wikitable"
+
var dialogue = new Dialogue(npc, null, "Some arbitrary text to show as-is");
|-
  −
! field
  −
! effect
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>EventOffset</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' The pixel offset for the pet when shown in events like Marnie's adoption event, specified as an object with <samp>X</samp> and <samp>Y</samp> fields. Default none.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>AdoptionEventLocation</samp><br /><samp>AdoptionEventId</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' If both fields are set, the location and [[Modding:Event data|event ID]] which lets the player adopt this pet. This forces the event to play after 20 days if its preconditions haven't been met yet. Default <samp>Farm</samp> and none respectively.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>SummitPerfectionEvent</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' How to render the pet during the summit [[perfection]] slideshow. If this isn't set, the pet won't be shown in the slideshow.
     −
This consists of a model with these fields:
+
// from a translation with tokens
 +
var dialogue = Dialogue.FromTranslation(npc, "Data\\ExtraDialogue:PurchasedItem_2_QualityLow_Willy", whatToCallPlayer, particle, i.DisplayName);
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
{| class="wikitable"
+
You can also easily add fallback logic using <samp>Dialogue.TryGetDialogue</samp> or <samp>npc.TryGetDialogue</samp>. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
Dialogue dialogue =
 +
    npc.TryGetDialogue($"rejection_{itemId}_{locationName}_{x}_{y}")
 +
    ?? npc.TryGetDialogue($"rejection_{itemId}_{locationName}")
 +
    ?? npc.TryGetDialogue($"rejection_{itemId}")
 +
    ?? new Dialogue(npc, "Strings\\StringsFromCSFiles:NPC.cs.3971");
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>For C# mods, added a <samp>dialogue.sideEffects</samp> field to run code when the dialogue is displayed.</li>
 +
<li>The 'reveal taste' dialogue command now uses the format <samp>%revealtaste:{{t|npc name}}:{{t|item ID}}</samp> to support item IDs. (The previous <samp>%revealtaste{{t|npc name}}{{t|item index}}</samp> format still works to support old content packs, but the item index can only be a number.)</li>
 +
<li>NPCs no longer override the portrait for a gift taste dialogue that uses a portrait command explicitly.</li>
 +
<li>Fixed unknown [[Modding:Dialogue|dialogue]] commands starting with <samp>$</samp> being parsed as a portrait number when not numeric.</li>
 +
<li>Fixed NPCs only using a <code>{day name}{hearts}_{year}</code> dialogue if they also have a <code>{day name}{hearts}</code> one.</li>
 +
<li>Fixed NPCs only using the <code>MovieInvitation</code> dialogue key in English.</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
===Schedule changes===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Schedule data]]|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>Schedule keys are now case-insensitive.</li>
 +
<li>Added a new <samp>{{t|day of week}}_{{t|min hearts}}</samp> schedule key.</li>
 +
<li>Added an <samp>NPC.ScheduleKey</samp> field which always matches their loaded schedule.</li>
 +
<li>Schedule commands now trim surrounding whitespace, so they can be multilined for readability. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">"Wed": "
 +
    1000 ArchaeologyHouse 11 9 0/
 +
    1800 Town 47 87 0/
 +
    2200 SeedShop 1 9 3 abigail_sleep
 +
"</syntaxHighlight></li>
 +
<li>Removed an unintended schedule fallback to a <samp>{season}_spring_{hearts}</samp> key. It'll skip to the <samp>spring</samp> default instead.</li>
 +
<li>Schedules are now fault-tolerant:
 +
* Fixed crash if a selected schedule can't be parsed. The NPC now logs an error and continues with the next fallback instead.
 +
* Fixed crash if certain hardcoded schedules aren't present (like Penny's <samp>marriageJob</samp> or Pam's <samp>bus</samp>).
 +
* Fixed error if a schedule command is empty.</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
===Other NPC changes===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:NPC data]] as needed|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>Added <samp>Game1.characterData</samp> and <samp>Game1.farmAnimalData</samp> to read NPC/animal info without constantly reloading the <samp>Data/Characters</samp> or <samp>Data/FarmAnimals</samp> asset.</li>
 +
<li>All translated NPC names are now in <samp>Strings/NPCNames</samp>.
 +
<li>Added new fields & methods for C# mods:

* Buff logic is unified into <samp>Game1.player.buffs</samp>, which is the single source of truth for buff data. This replaces the previous <samp>player.added*</samp> and <samp>player.appliedBuffs</samp> fields, <samp>BuffsDisplay</samp> logic, enchantment stat bonuses, and boots/ring attribute changes on (un)equip.
<dd>
+
* This also removes limitations on buff types (e.g. buffs can add weapon bonuses and weapons can add attribute buffs) and buffable equipment (e.g. equipped tools can have buffs too).
{| class="wikitable"
+
* Buff effects are now fully recalculated when they change, to fix a range of longstanding bugs like attribute drift and double-debuffs. Just like before, the buffs are managed locally; only the buff IDs and aggregate attribute effects are synced.
|-
+
 
 +
'''For C# mods:'''
 +
* Each buff now has a unique string ID. You can apply a new buff with the same ID to replace it (so you no longer need to manually find and remove previous instances of the buff).
 +
* The buff duration can now be set to <samp>Buff.ENDLESS</samp> to remove the duration. It'll last all day until the player sleeps.
 +
* You can add standard buff effects to any equipment by overriding <samp>Item.AddEquipmentEffects</samp>, or add custom behaviour/buffs by overriding <samp>Item.onEquip</samp> and <samp>Item.onUnequip</samp>.
 +
* You can add custom food or drink buffs by overriding <samp>Item.GetFoodOrDrinkBuffs()</samp>.
 +
* The <samp>Buff</samp> constructor now supports a custom icon texture, sprite index, display name, description, and millisecond duration to fully support custom buffs.
 +
* You can change how buff attributes are displayed (or add new attributes) by extending the <samp>BuffsDisplay.displayAttributes</samp> list.
 +
* You can have invisible buffs by setting <samp>buff.visible = false</samp>.
 +
 
 +
For example, here's how to add a custom buff which adds +3 speed:
 +
 
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
Buff buff = new Buff(
 +
    id: "Example.ModId_ZoomZoom",
 +
    displayName: "Zoom Zoom", // can optionally specify description text too
 +
    iconTexture: this.Helper.ModContent.Load<Texture2D>("assets/zoom.png"),
 +
    iconSheetIndex: 0,
 +
    duration: 30_000, // 30 seconds
 +
    effects: new BuffEffects()
 +
    {
 +
        Speed = { 10 } // shortcut for buff.Speed.Value = 10
 +
    }
 +
);
 +
Game1.player.applyBuff(buff);
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
You can also implement your own custom effects in code by checking if the buff is active, like <code>Game1.player.hasBuff("Example.ModId_ZoomZoom")</code>.
 +
 
 +
===Custom audio===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Audio]]|done=true}}
 +
 
 +
You can now add or edit music tracks or sound effects by editing the new <samp>Data/AudioChanges</samp> asset. New cues are added to the game's soundbank, so they can be used anywhere normal audio can be used (e.g. the <samp>Music</samp> [[Modding:Maps|map property]]). This supports <samp>.ogg</samp> and <samp>.wav</samp> files, and the vanilla audio features (e.g. randomizing audio from one ID).
 +
 
 +
Audio is also more fault-tolerant in 1.6: the game no longer crashes when playing audio which doesn't exist, it now logs an error and returns a default quiet click sound instead. (If you use <code>try..catch</code> to check if an audio cue exists, you should check <code>Game1.soundbank.Exists(name)</code> instead.)
 +
 
 +
===Custom buffs===
 +
{{/doc status|a new doc page|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
: ''See also: [[#Buff overhaul|buff overhaul]].''
 +
 
 +
You can now define custom buffs by editing the new <samp>Data/Buffs</samp> asset. You can then use the buff from other places like <samp>Data/Object</samp>'s <samp>Buff</samp> field or the C# <samp>Buff</samp> constructor.
 +
 
 +
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
 +
* The key is a [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|unique string ID]] for the buff.
 +
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

===Custom data fields===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Common data field types#Custom fields]]|done=true}}
 +
 
 +
Many data assets now have a <samp>CustomFields</samp> field. This is ignored by the game, but lets mods add their own data (e.g. to enable mod framework features).
 +
 
 +
For example, a content pack can [[#Custom crops|add a crop]] with custom fields:
 +
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
 +
{
 +
    "Format": "</nowiki>{{Content Patcher version}}<nowiki>",
 +
    "Changes": [
 +
        {
 +
            "Action": "EditData",
 +
            "Target": "Data/Crops",
 +
            "Entries": {
 +
                "Example.Id_CucumberSeeds": {
 +
                    "Seasons": [ "summer" ],
 +
                    "DaysInPhase": [ 1, 2, 2, 2 ],
 +
                    "HarvestItemId": "Example.Id_Cucumber",
 +
                    "Texture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/crops.png}}",
 +
                    "SpriteIndex": 0,
 +
 
 +
                    "CustomFields": {
 +
                        "Example.FrameworkMod/WetTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/crops-wet.png}}"
 +
                    }
 +
                }
 +
            }
 +
        }
 +
    ]
 +
}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
 +
 
 +
And then a C# mod could handle the custom field if it's set:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
if (Game1.currentLocation.IsRainingHere())
 +
{
 +
    CropData data = crop.GetData();
 +
    if (data != null && data.CustomFields.TryGetValue("Example.FrameworkMod/WetTexture", out string textureName))
 +
    {
 +
        // do magic
 +
    }
 +
}
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
See <samp>CustomFields</samp> in the docs for each asset type to see if it's supported. Besides the sections listed on this page, custom fields were also added to <samp>Data/AdditionalFarms</samp>, <samp>Data/AdditionalLanguages</samp>, <samp>Data/FishPondData</samp>, <samp>Data/HomeRenovations</samp>, <samp>Data/Movies</samp>, and <samp>Data/SpecialOrders</samp>.

See [[Modding:Common data field types#Custom fields]] for the main docs.
 +
 
 +
===Custom giant crops===
 +
{{/doc status|a new doc page|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
You can now add/edit [[Crops#Giant Crops|giant crops]] by editing the <samp>Data/GiantCrops</samp> data asset.
 +
 
 +
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
 +
* The key is a [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|unique string ID]] for the giant crop.
 +
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

|}
     −
====Other changes====
+
Any number of giant crops can use the same <samp>FromItemId</samp> value. The first giant crop whose other fields match (if any) will spawn.
* The pet bowl is now a building which can be constructed or moved. Each pet is assigned to an available pet bowl. For C# mods, each pet now has a <samp>guid</samp> field populated with a unique ID, and each pet bowl has a <samp>petGuid</samp> field which tracks its owner (see the <samp>PetBowl::HasPet()</samp> and <samp>PetBowl::FindPet()</samp> methods).
+
|-
* In the [[Modding:Event data#Basic format|event character setup]], you can now use <samp>pet</samp> to add a pet of the player's selected type. Its actor name will be <samp>PetActor</samp> in other event commands. This supersedes <samp>cat</samp> (with name <samp>Cat</samp>) and <samp>dog</samp> (with name <samp>Dog</samp>), though those still work too.
+
| <samp>HarvestItems</samp>
* For C# mods:
+
| The items which can be dropped when you break the giant crop. If multiple items match, they'll all be dropped.
** All pets now use a generic <samp>Pet</samp> class, instead of <samp>Cat</samp> or <samp>Dog</samp>. The pet type is tracked by the pet's <samp>petType</samp> field.
  −
** The player's preferred pet type is tracked by <samp>Game1.player.whichPetType</samp>. The former <samp>catPerson</samp> field is now readonly and checks that field.
  −
** Added <samp>Pet.type_cat</samp> and <samp>Pet.type_dog</samp> constants for the default pet types.

===Custom monster eradication goals===

  −
 
  −
You can now add/edit [[Adventurer's Guild]] monster eradication goals by editing the new <samp>Data/MonsterSlayerQuests</samp> data asset.
  −
 
  −
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
  −
* The key is a unique ID for the monster eradication goal. This ID should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters, and custom goal IDs should ideally be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_GoalName</samp>.
  −
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

|-
 
|-
| <samp>RewardItemId</samp>
+
| <samp>ScaledMinStackWhenShaving</samp><br /><samp>ScaledMaxStackWhenShaving</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The [[#Custom items|qualified ID]] for the item that can be collected from [[Gil]] when this goal is completed. Default none.
+
| ''(Optional)'' If set, the min/max stack size when this item is dropped due to the [[Forge#Enchantments|shaving enchantment]], scaled to the tool's power level.
|-
  −
| <samp>RewardItemPrice</samp>
  −

  −
| <samp>RewardDialogue</samp><br /><samp>RewardDialogueFlag</samp>
  −
| ''(Optional)'' A [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable string]] for custom [[Gil]] dialogue shown when talking to him after completing the goal, and an optional [[Modding:Mail data|mail flag]] to set when the player has seen the dialogue. Both default to none.
     −
If there are reward items, they're shown after this dialogue.
+
This value is multiplied by the health deducted by the tool hit which triggered the enchantment. For example, an iridium axe which reduced the giant crop's health by 3 points will produce three times this value per hit.
   −
If <samp>RewardDialogue</samp> is used without <samp>RewardDialogueFlag</samp>, then this dialogue will be shown each time the reward menu is opened after completing the goal, until the player collects the reward items. If the <samp>RewardItems</samp> isn't set, this can safely be omitted since the goal will be marked collected immediately.
+
If both fields are set, the stack size is randomized between them. If only one is set, it's applied as a limit after the generic fields. If neither is set, the generic <samp>MinStack</samp>/<samp>MaxStack</samp> fields are applied as usual without scaling.

 +
 
 +
Note that the chance is checked for each giant crop that applies. If three giant crops each have a 1% chance of spawning for the same crop, then there's a 3% chance that one of them will spawn.

If both <samp>FromNpc</samp> and <samp>FromDisplayName</samp> are null, this portrait will be shown with the display name "???".
+
| ''(Optional)'' Whether the track should be shown in the jukebox menu. This can be <samp>true</samp> (always shown), <samp>false</samp> (never shown), or <samp>null</samp> (show if the player has heard it before). Default <samp>null</samp>.

     −
Whether a player receives this call depends on both fields: <samp>TriggerCondition</samp> is checked on the main player before sending the call to all players, then <samp>RingCondition</samp> is checked on each player to determine whether the phone rings for them.
+
Tracks with <samp>"Available": true</samp> are listed first in the jukebox menu.
|-
  −
| <samp>IgnoreBaseChance</samp>

+
| <samp>AlternativeTrackIds</samp>
| ''(Optional, specialized)'' If set, marks the call as having a simple dialogue string without an NPC name and portrait, with lines split into multiple boxes by this substring. For example, <code>"SimpleDialogueSplitBy": "#"</code> will split <code>Box A#Box B#Box C</code> into three consecutive dialogue boxes.
+
| ''(Optional)'' A list of other cue names for this audio track (not case-sensitive). If the player has heard any of these track IDs, this entry is available in the menu. Default none.
   −
You should omit this in most cases, and use the regular dialogue format in <samp>Dialogue</samp> to split lines if needed. This is mainly intended to support some older vanilla phone calls.

[[Modding:Movie theater data#Movie data|Movie data]] was previously very limited and prone to mod conflicts, since (a) we needed incrementing movie IDs like <samp>spring_movie_3</samp>, (b) we were limited to one movie per season, and (c) all sprites for each movie had to be in the vanilla <samp>LooseSprites/Movies</samp> spritesheet.

===Custom wedding event===
 +
{{/doc status|a new doc page|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
The [[Marriage#The Wedding|wedding]] event can now be changed by editing the <samp>Data\Weddings</samp> data asset, which consists of a data model with two relevant fields (listed below).
   −
This consists of a list of models with these fields:
   
{| class="wikitable"
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
|-
Line 5,846: Line 6,179:  
! effect
 
! effect
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Name</samp>
+
| <samp>EventScript</samp>
| One of...
+
| The [[Modding:Event data|event scripts]] which play the wedding. The game will use the script for the spouse NPC/player if it exists, otherwise it'll use the default script.
* the internal name for the NPC who must be in range to use this entry;
+
 
* <samp>AnyOrNone</samp> to use this entry regardless of whether any NPC is within the shop area;
+
This consists of a string → string dictionary, where...
* <samp>Any</samp> to use this entry if ''any'' NPC is within the shop area;
+
* The key is an NPC internal name (like <samp>Abigail</samp>), unique player ID, or <samp>default</samp> for the default script (which handles marrying either an NPC or player);
* <samp>None</samp> to use this entry if ''no'' NPC is within the shop area.
+
* The value is a [[Modding:Tokenizable strings|tokenizable strings]] for the event script to play.
 +
 
 +
The event scripts also have access to three extra tokens:
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-
 +
! token
 +
! effect
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Id</samp>
+
| <samp>[SetupContextualWeddingAttendees]</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' An ID for this entry within the shop. This only needs to be unique within the current shop's owner list. Defaults to the <samp>Name</samp> value.
+
| The concatenated <samp>Setup</samp> values for each of the <samp>Attendees</samp> present in the wedding.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Condition</samp>
+
| <samp>[ContextualWeddingCelebrations]</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A [[#Game state queries|game state query]] which indicates whether this owner entry is available. If omitted, it's always available.
+
| The concatenated <samp>Celebration</samp> values for each of the <samp>Attendees</samp> present in the wedding.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Portrait</samp>
+
| <samp>[SpouseActor]</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' One of...
+
| The actor ID for the NPC or other player being married (like <samp>Abigail</samp> for an NPC or <samp>farmer2</samp> for a player). This can be used in event commands like <code>faceDirection [SpouseActor] 1</code>.
* the internal name of the NPC whose portrait to show;
  −
* the asset name of the portrait spritesheet to display.
     −
If omitted, defaults to the portrait for the NPC matching the <samp>Name</samp> field (if any). If set to a value which doesn't match an NPC or texture asset name, the portrait is disabled.
+
(You can also use <samp>spouse</samp> as an actor ID, but that will only work when marrying an NPC.)
 +
|}
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Dialogues</samp>
+
| <samp>Attendees</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A list of possible dialogues if this entry is selected. Each day one dialogue will be randomly chosen to show in the shop UI. Each dialogue consists of a model with these fields:
+
| The other NPCs which should attend the wedding (unless they're the spouse). This consists of a string → model lookup, where the key is the internal NPC name, and the value is a model with these fields:
 
{| class="wikitable"

| <samp>Id</samp>
+
| <samp>ID</samp>
| An ID for this dialogue. This only needs to be unique within the current dialogue list. For a custom entry, you should use a unique ID which includes your mod ID like <samo>ExampleMod.Id_DialogueName</samp>.
+
| The internal NPC name.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Dialogue</samp>
+
| <samp>Setup</samp>
| The dialogue text to show, as a [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable string]]. The resulting text is parsed using the [[Modding:Dialogue|dialogue format]].
+
| The NPC's tile position and facing direction when they attend. This is equivalent to field index 2 in the [[Modding:Event data#Basic format|event basic data]].
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>RandomDialogue</samp>
+
| <samp>Celebration</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A list of dialogue texts to randomly choose from, using the same format as <samp>Dialogue</samp>. If set, <samp>Dialogue</samp> is optional and ignored. Each entry in the list has an equal probability of being chosen, and the choice is persisted for the current day. For example:
+
| ''(Optional)'' The [[Modding:Event data|event script]] to run during the celebration, like <samp>faceDirection Pierre 3 true</samp> which makes Pierre turn to face left. This can contain any number of script commands.

===Game state queries===
|-
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Game state queries]]|done=true}}
| <samp>RandomizeDialogueOnOpen</samp>
+
 
| ''(Optional)'' If <samp>Dialogues</samp> has multiple matching entries, whether to re-randomize which one is selected each time the shop is opened (<samp>true</samp>) or once per day (<samp>false</samp>).
+
A ''game state query'' is a new vanilla way to specify conditions for some content like [[#Custom shops|shop data]], inspired by [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]]'s conditions.
|}
+
 
|-
+
===Gender changes===
| <samp>Currency</samp>
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Dialogue]]|done=false}}
| ''(Optional)'' The currency in which all items in the shop should be priced. The valid values are 0 (money), 1 (star tokens), 2 (Qi coins), and 4 (Qi gems). Default 0. For item trading, see <samp>TradeItemId</samp> for each item.
+
 
|-
+
* Added an [[#gender-switch|''inline gender-switch token'']] to change text depending on the player's gender. This reduces duplicate text, works in more places than the <samp>^</samp> dialogue token, works in mail and other places where <samp>^</samp> has a different meaning, and supports non-binary gender.
| <samp>ApplyProfitMargins</samp>
+
* For C# mod authors, added a unified <samp>Gender</samp> field for players and NPCs with the possible values <samp>Male</samp>, <samp>Female</samp>, and <samp>Unspecified</samp>. This replaces <samp>Farmer.isMale</samp> and the numeric NPC gender constants. Note that vanilla still only sets players to male or female, though mods can override it.
| ''(Optional)'' The default value for <samp>ApplyProfitMargins</samp> under <samp>Items</samp>, if set. This can be <samp>true</samp> (always apply it), <samp>false</samp> (never apply it), or <samp>null</samp> (apply for certain items like saplings). This is applied before any quantity modifiers. Default <samp>null</samp>.
+
* Gender-specific clothing variants can now be worn by any gender.
|-
+
* Removed French-only support for using <samp>^</samp> dialogue token in non-dialogue text. This is superseded by the new inline gender-switch command.
| <samp>StackSizeVisibility</samp>
+
 
| ''(Optional)'' How to draw stack size numbers in the shop list by default. If omitted, the default shop logic is applied (usually equivalent to <samp>Show</samp>).
+
===Item queries===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Item queries]]|done=true}}
 +
 
 +
''Item queries'' are a new built-in way to choose one or more items dynamically, instead of specifying a single item ID. These are used in various places like [[#Custom machines|machine data]] and [[#Custom shops|shop data]].
 +
 
 +
For example, a shop can sell a random [[House Plant|house plant]] using the <samp>RANDOM_ITEMS</samp> query:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
{
 +
    "ItemId": "RANDOM_ITEMS (F) 1376 1390",
 +
    "MaxItems": 1
 +
}
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
===Item spawn fields===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Item queries#Item spawn fields]]|done=true}}
 +
 
 +
Several data assets (like [[#Custom machines|machines]] and [[#Custom shops|shops]]) let you configure items to create using item queries. For consistency, these all share a set of common fields.
 +
 
 +
===Color fields===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Common data field types#Color]]|done=true}}
 +
 
 +
1.6 adds a standardized color format used in various data fields. This can be a color name, hexadecimal color code, or 8-bit RGB color code.
 +
 
 +
For example, you can set debris color in [[#Custom wild trees|<samp>Data/WildTrees</samp>]]:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"DebrisColor": "White"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
===<samp>modData</samp> field changes===
 +
The <samp>modData</samp> fields are dictionaries of arbitrary string values which are synchronized in multiplayer and persisted in the save file, so mods can store custom data about the instances. The game already has the field for buildings, characters (including NPCs and players), items, locations, and terrain features.
 +
 
 +
Stardew Valley 1.6...
 +
* Adds <samp>modData</samp> fields to the <samp>Crop</samp>, <samp>Projectile</samp>, and <samp>Quest</samp> types too.
 +
* Moves <samp>ModDataDictionary</samp> into the <samp>StardewValley.Mods</samp> namespace.
 +
* Fixes <samp>Item.modData</samp> not copied when performing special equipment replacement (e.g. for the [[Pans|copper pan]] work as a hat).
 +
 
 +
===Quantity modifiers===
 +
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Common data field types]]|done=false}}
 +
 
 +
''Quantity modifiers'' apply dynamic changes to a numeric field in a data asset like [[#Custom shops|<samp>Data/Shops</samp>]] or [[#Custom machines|<samp>Data/Machines</samp>]]. For example, you can multiply a shop item's price or increase a machine output's quality. You can specify any number of modifiers for the same field.

| <samp>PriceModifiers</samp>
  −

====Open a custom shop====
  −
You can place an [[#Map/tile property changes|<samp>Action OpenShop</samp> tile property]] on the map, which will open the given shop ID when the player clicks it.
  −
  −
In C# code, you can get the inventory for a custom shop using <code>Utility.GetShopStock("shop id here")</code>, open a shop menu using <code>Utility.OpenShopMenu("shop id", …)</code>, and add temporary items to an open menu using <code>shopMenu.AddForSale(…)</code>. The ID of the opened shop is stored in the shop menu's <samp>storeContext</samp> field.
      
====Examples====
 
====Examples====
You can add or replace entire shops. For example, this content pack adds a shop that sells ice cream in summer, and pufferfish all year:
+
For example, this will double the price of a shop item in <samp>Data/Shops</samp>:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"PriceModifiers": [
 +
    {
 +
        "Modification": "Multiply",
 +
        "Amount": 2.0
 +
    }
 +
]
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
+
This will set the price to a random value between 100–1000, ''or'' 3–5 times the item's normal sell price, whichever is higher (like the [[Traveling Cart]]):

Stardew Valley 1.6 adds ''tokenizable strings'', which support any combination of literal text and token values. That includes a set of built-in tokens like <samp>FarmName</samp>, <samp>LocalizedText</samp>, etc.
 +
 
 +
For example, previously you often needed to load text from a [[Modding:Common data field types#Translation key|translation key]]. With this new format, you can use the literal text directly in the asset instead (including [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] tokens):
   −

  −
                                }
  −
                            ]

                        }

                    ],
     −
                    "Items": [
+
// after: any combination of literal text and tokens
                        // ice-cream in summer, default price
+
"Dialogue": "Welcome to Pierre's, {{PlayerName}}! How is [FarmName] doing?",
                        {
+
</syntaxhighlight>
                            "Id": "Example.ModId_IceCream",
  −
                            "Condition": "SEASON Summer",
  −
                            "ItemId": "(O)233"
  −
                        },
     −
                        // pufferfish for 1000g, limited to one per day per player
+
Tokenizable strings are only usable in specific fields (as indicated in their wiki or code docs).
                        {
  −
                            "Id": "Example.ModId_PufferFish",
  −
                            "ItemId": "(O)128",

    ]

}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
     −
You can also add, replace, edit, or reorder items in a specific shop by targeting the shop's <samp>Items</samp> field. For example, this removes Trout Soup (item #219) and adds Pufferfish above bait (item #685):

====Vanilla shop IDs====
+
===[[Modding:Event data|Event]] changes===
Vanilla shops are now defined in <samp>Data/Shops</samp> too (except a few special cases like [[:Category:Dressers|dressers]] and home renovations).
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Event data]]|done=false}}
   −
See <samp>Data/Shops</samp> for a full list, but here are the main shop IDs for convenience:
+
====High-level changes====
 +
* Event IDs are now [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|unique string IDs]], so mods can use a unique key instead of hoping no other mod uses the same number. Unconditional events must have an empty precondition in their key (like <samp>"Example.ModId_EventName/"</samp>) to distinguish them from forks.
 +
* Event/festival commands with a direction argument now allow both case-insensitive names (like <samp>up</samp>) and numeric values.
 +
* Event script errors are now logged (in addition to being shown in the chatbox like before).
 +
* For C# mods:
 +
** You can now add custom event preconditions & commands using new <samp>Event</samp> methods (<samp>RegisterPrecondition</samp>, <samp>RegisterPreconditionAlias</samp>, <samp>RegisterCommand</samp>, and <samp>RegisterCommandAlias</samp>).
 +
** Added <samp>Event.fromAssetName</samp>, which indicates which data asset (if any) the event was loaded from.
 +
** Added <samp>Game1.eventsSeenSinceLastLocationChange</samp> to track the events that played since the player arrived in their current location.

 +
|}</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
====Command changes====
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>Added validation for event commands. If a format or assumption is invalid, the game now logs a detailed error and (if applicable) skips the command, instead of crashing or silently ignoring it. This also means event arguments are stricter (e.g. you can no longer set a true/false field to an invalid value, inner quotes in quoted arguments now need to be escaped, etc).</li>
 +
<li>Event commands are now quote-aware, so you can escape spaces and slashes in arguments like <code>/speak "I'm running A/B tests"/</code>.</li>
 +
<li>Event commands now trim surrounding whitespace, so they can be multilined for readability. Line breaks must be before or after the <samp>/</samp> delimiter. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"SomeEventId/": "
 +
    none/
 +
    -1000 -1000/
 +
    farmer 5 7 0/
 +
    ...
 +
"
 +
</syntaxHighlight>
 +
This can be also combined with the [[Modding:Event data#Comments|comment syntax]] to add notes. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"SomeEventId/": "
 +
    none/            -- music/
 +
    -1000 -1000/    -- initial viewport position/
 +
    farmer 5 7 0/    -- actor positions/
 +
    ...
 +
"
 +
</syntaxHighlight>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>You can now mark NPCs optional in event commands by suffixing their name with <code>?</code>. For example, <code>jump Kent?</code> won't log an error if Kent is missing. When used in the initial event positions, the NPC is only added in they exist in <samp>Data/Characters</samp> and their <samp>UnlockConditions</samp> match.</li>
 +
<li>Added new event commands:
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-

| [[Festival of Ice]]
+
! command
| <samp>Festival_FestivalOfIce_TravelingMerchant</samp>

|-
| [[Feast of the Winter Star]]
+
| <samp>action {{t|action}}</samp>
| <samp>Festival_FeastOfTheWinterStar_Pierre</samp>
+
| Run a [[Modding:Trigger actions|trigger action string]], like <samp>action AddMoney 500</samp> to add {{price|500}} to the current player.
 
|-
 
|-
| [[Flower Dance]]
+
| <samp>addItem {{t|item ID}} {{o|count}} {{o|quality}}</samp>
| <samp>Festival_FlowerDance_Pierre</samp>
+
| Add an item to the player inventory (or open a grab menu if their inventory is full). The {{t|item ID}} is the [[#Custom items|qualified or unqualified item ID]], and {{o|quality}} is a [[Modding:Items#Quality|numeric quality value]].
 
|-
 
|-
| [[Luau]]
+
| <samp>addSpecialOrder {{t|order ID}}</samp><br /><samp>removeSpecialOrder {{t|order ID}}</samp>
| <samp>Festival_Luau_Pierre</samp>
+
| Add or remove a special order to the player team. This affects all players, since special orders are shared.
 
|-
 
|-
| [[Night Market]] (decoration boat)
+
| <samp>eventSeen {{t|event ID}} {{o|seen}}</samp>
| <samp>Festival_NightMarket_DecorationBoat</samp>
+
| Add or remove an event ID from the player's list of seen events, based on {{o|seen}} (default <samp>true</samp> to add).
 +
 
 +
An event can mark ''itself'' unseen using <samp>eventSeen {{t|event ID}} false</samp>. This takes effect immediately (i.e. the event won't be added to the list when it completes), but the game will prevent the event from playing again until the player changes location to avoid event loops. The event will still replay when re-entering the location.
 
|-

|-
 
|-
| [[Spirit's Eve]]
+
| <samp>questionAnswered {{t|answer ID}} {{o|answered}}</samp>
| <samp>Festival_SpiritsEve_Pierre</samp>

|-
 
|-
| [[Stardew Valley Fair]]
+
| <samp>replaceWithClone {{t|NPC name}}</samp>
| <samp>Festival_StardewValleyFair_StarTokens</samp>
+
| Replace an NPC already in the event with a temporary copy. This allows changing the NPC for the event without affecting the real NPC.
|}
     −
And two special 'shops':
+
For example, this event changes Marnie's name/portrait only within the event:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"Some.ModId_ExampleEvent/": "continue/64 15/farmer 64 15 2 Marnie 64 17 0/replaceWithClone Marnie/changeName Marnie Pufferchick/changePortrait Marnie Pufferchick/[...]/end"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 
|-
 
|-
! item
+
| <samp>setSkipActions {{o|actions}}</samp>
! ID
+
| Set [[Modding:Trigger actions|trigger actions]] that should run if the player skips the event. You can list multiple actions delimited with <samp>#</samp>, or omit {{o|actions}} so no actions are run. When the player skips, the last <samp>setSkipActions</samp> before that point is applied.

===Dialogue changes===
+
For example, this adds the [[Garden Pot|garden pot]] recipe and item to the player if the event is skipped, but avoids adding the item if the event already did it:
<ul>
+
<pre>
<li>Added new [[Modding:Dialogue|dialogue]] commands:
+
/setSkipActions AddCraftingRecipe Current "Garden Pot"#AddItem (BC)62
 +
/skippable
 +
/...
 +
/addItem (BC)62
 +
/setSkipActions AddCraftingRecipe Current "Garden Pot"
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
Skip actions aren't applied if the event completes normally without being skipped.

| <samp>stopSound {{t|sound ID}} {{o|immediate}}</samp>
 +
| Stop a sound started with the <samp>startSound</samp> command. This has no effect if the sound has already stopped playing on its own (or hasn't been started). If you started multiple sounds with the same ID, this will stop all of them (e.g. <code>startSound fuse/startSound fuse/stopSound fuse</code>).
 +
 
 +
By default the sound will stop immediately. For looping sounds, you can pass <samp>false</samp> to the {{o|immediate}} argument to stop the sound when it finishes playing the current iteration instead (e.g. <code>stopSound fuse false</code>).

| The number of times to repeat the animation.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>$v {{t|event id}} {{o|check preconditions}} {{o|skip if seen}}</samp>
+
| 8&ndash;9
| Immediately start an [[Modding:Event data|event]] and end the current dialogue, subject to the conditions:
+
| <samp>tile</samp>
* {{o|check preconditions}}: whether to ignore the command if the [[Modding:Event data#Event preconditions|event's preconditions]] don't match (one of <samp>true</samp> or <samp>false</samp>). Default true.
+
| The tile position at which to draw the sprite, in the form <samp>{{t|x}} {{t|y}}</samp>.
* {{o|skip if seen}}: whether to ignore the command if the player has already seen the given event. Default true.
  −
 
  −
If the event is skipped, the dialogue continues to the next line instead.
  −
 
  −
For example, <code>$v 60367 false false</code> will replay the bus arrival event from the start of the game.
  −
|}
  −
</li>
  −
<li>[[Modding:Dialogue#Response IDs|Dialogue response IDs]] are now strings, so mods can use a unique key like <samp>Example.ModId_ResponseName</samp> (instead of hoping no other mod uses the same number). Prefixing the mod ID is recommended to simplify troubleshooting and avoid conflicts. For best compatibility, custom IDs should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters.</li>
  −
<li>[[Secrets#Item Spawn Cheat|Item spawn codes]] can now spawn any item type by using the [[#Custom items|qualified item ID]], like <code>[(F)1664]</code> for a [[Mystic Rug]].</li>
  −
<li>For C# mods, <samp>Dialogue</samp> now tracks the translation key used to build it (when applicable). For example, you can detect when the player is rejected at the [[Flower Dance]] (derived from {{github|spacechase0/StardewValleyMods|Three-Heart Dance Partner}}):
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
  −
private void OnMenuChanged(object sender, MenuChangedEventArgs e)
  −
{
  −
    bool isDanceRejection =
  −
        Game1.currentLocation?.currentEvent?.FestivalName == "Flower Dance"
  −
        && e.NewMenu is DialogueBox dialogueBox
  −
        && dialogueBox.characterDialogue is {} dialogue
  −
        && dialogue.TranslationKey == $"Characters\\Dialogue\\{dialogue.speaker?.Name}:danceRejection";
  −
}
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
 
  −
For C# mods that create <samp>Dialogue</samp> instances directly, there's a few ways to do it now:
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
  −
// from a translation key
  −
var dialogue = new Dialogue(npc, "Strings\\StringsFromCSFiles:Utility.cs.5360");
  −
 
  −
// from custom text (with or without a translation key)
  −
var dialogue = new Dialogue(npc, null, "Some arbitrary text to show as-is");
  −
 
  −
// from a translation with tokens
  −
var dialogue = Dialogue.FromTranslation(npc, "Data\\ExtraDialogue:PurchasedItem_2_QualityLow_Willy", whatToCallPlayer, particle, i.DisplayName);
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
 
  −
You can also easily add fallback logic using <samp>Dialogue.TryGetDialogue</samp> or <samp>npc.TryGetDialogue</samp>. For example:
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
  −
Dialogue dialogue =
  −
    npc.TryGetDialogue($"rejection_{itemId}_{locationName}_{x}_{y}")
  −
    ?? npc.TryGetDialogue($"rejection_{itemId}_{locationName}")
  −
    ?? npc.TryGetDialogue($"rejection_{itemId}")
  −
    ?? new Dialogue(npc, "Strings\\StringsFromCSFiles:NPC.cs.3971");
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
</li>
  −
<li>The <samp>reject_{{t|item id}}</samp> dialogue key now also works with [[Movie Ticket|movie tickets]], [[Void Ghost Pendant|void ghost pendants]], [[bouquet]]s, [[Wilted Bouquet|wilted bouquets]], and [[Mermaid's Pendant|mermaids' pendants]].</li>
  −
<li>The 'reveal taste' dialogue command now uses the format <samp>%revealtaste:{{t|npc name}}:{{t|item ID}}</samp> to support item IDs. (The previous <samp>%revealtaste{{t|npc name}}{{t|item index}}</samp> format still works to support old content packs, but the item index can only be a number.)</li>
  −
<li>Fixed unknown [[Modding:Dialogue|dialogue]] commands starting with <samp>$</samp> being parsed as a portrait number when not numeric.</li>
  −
<li>Fixed NPCs only using a <code>{day name}{hearts}_{year}</code> dialogue if they also have a <code>{day name}{hearts}</code> one.</li>
  −
<li>Fixed NPCs only using the <code>MovieInvitation</code> dialogue key in English.</li>
  −
</ul>
  −
 
  −
===Schedule changes===
  −
<ul>
  −
<li>Schedule keys are now case-insensitive.</li>
  −
<li>Added a new <samp>{{t|day of week}}_{{t|min hearts}}</samp> schedule key.</li>
  −
<li>Added an <samp>NPC.ScheduleKey</samp> field which always matches their loaded schedule.</li>
  −
<li>Schedule commands now trim surrounding whitespace, so they can be multilined for readability. For example:
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">"Wed": "
  −
    1000 ArchaeologyHouse 11 9 0/
  −
    1800 Town 47 87 0/
  −
    2200 SeedShop 1 9 3 abigail_sleep
  −
"</syntaxHighlight></li>
  −
<li>Removed an unintended schedule fallback to a <samp>{season}_spring_{hearts}</samp> key. It'll skip to the <samp>spring</samp> default instead.</li>
  −
<li>Schedules are now fault-tolerant:
  −
* Fixed crash if a selected schedule can't be parsed. The NPC now logs an error and continues with the next fallback instead.
  −
* Fixed crash if certain hardcoded schedules aren't present (like Penny's <samp>marriageJob</samp> or Pam's <samp>bus</samp>).
  −
* Fixed error if a schedule command is empty.</li>
  −
<li>For C# mods, removed the <samp>dayOfMonth</samp> parameter in <samp>NPC.getSchedule()</samp>. This was misleading since it used <samp>Game1.dayOfMonth</samp> in all but one line regardless.</li>
  −
</ul>
  −
 
  −
===Other NPC changes===
  −
<ul>
  −
<li>Added <samp>Game1.characterData</samp> and <samp>Game1.farmAnimalData</samp> to read NPC/animal info without constantly reloading the <samp>Data/Characters</samp> or <samp>Data/FarmAnimals</samp> asset.</li>
  −
<li>All translated NPC names are now in <samp>Strings/NPCNames</samp>.
  −
<li>Added new fields & methods for C# mods:
  −

==What's new for everything else==
+
====Festival changes====
===Buff overhaul===
+
* Festivals can now have a custom festival-started notification message by setting the <samp>startedMessage</samp> field in <samp>Data/Festivals/*</samp> to a [[Modding:Tokenizable strings|tokenizable string]].
1.6 rewrites buffs to work more consistently and be more extensible:
+
* Festivals now set the event ID to a value like <samp>festival_fall16</samp>, instead of <samp>-1</samp>.
 +
* All in-festival data fields now support [[Modding:Festival data#Year variants|year variants]].
 +
* Fixed NPCs getting duplicated in festivals if they're added to the <samp>set-up</samp> fields multiple times. Subsequent entries now move them instead.
 +
* Fixed [[Modding:Festival data#Year variants|year variants]] for festival <samp>set-up</samp> field being appended to the main script instead of replacing it.
   −
* Buff logic is unified into <samp>Game1.player.buffs</samp>, which is the single source of truth for buff data. This replaces the previous <samp>player.added*</samp> and <samp>player.appliedBuffs</samp> fields, <samp>BuffsDisplay</samp> logic, enchantment stat bonuses, and boots/ring attribute changes on (un)equip.
+
====Send-mail (<samp>x</samp>) precondition deprecated====
* This also removes limitations on buff types (e.g. buffs can add weapon bonuses and weapons can add attribute buffs) and buffable equipment (e.g. equipped tools can have buffs too).
+
Using the <samp>x</samp> event precondition as a way to send mail is now deprecated (but still works). You should use [[#Trigger actions|trigger actions]] instead to perform actions like that.
* Buff effects are now fully recalculated when they change, to fix a range of longstanding bugs like attribute drift and double-debuffs. Just like before, the buffs are managed locally; only the buff IDs and aggregate attribute effects are synced.
     −
'''For C# mods:'''
+
All vanilla events which used it have been replaced by equivalent trigger actions. This event IDs below no longer exist; if you check them (e.g. via <samp>HasSeenEvent</samp>), you'll need to check the new action or the mail flag they set instead.
* Each buff now has a unique string ID. You can apply a new buff with the same ID to replace it (so you no longer need to manually find and remove previous instances of the buff).
+
{| class="wikitable"
* You can add standard buff effects to any equipment by overriding <samp>Item.AddEquipmentEffects</samp>, or add custom behaviour/buffs by overriding <samp>Item.onEquip</samp> and <samp>Item.onUnequip</samp>.
+
|-
* You can add custom food or drink buffs by overriding <samp>Item.GetFoodOrDrinkBuffs()</samp>.
+
! old event ID
* The <samp>Buff</samp> constructor now supports a custom icon texture, sprite index, display name, description, and millisecond duration to fully support custom buffs.
+
! new action ID
* You can change how buff attributes are displayed (or add new attributes) by extending the <samp>BuffsDisplay.displayAttributes</samp> list.
+
! mail flag

===Custom audio===

You can now add or edit [[Modding:Audio|music tracks or sound effects]] (called ''cues'') by editing the <samp>Data/AudioChanges</samp> asset. New cues are added to the game's soundbank, so they can be used anywhere normal audio can be used (e.g. the <samp>Music</samp> [[Modding:Maps|map property]]).

Entries in this asset describe an '''override''' applied to the soundbank. The override is applied permanently for the current game session, even if the asset is edited to remove it. Overriding a cue will reset all values to the ones specified.

 +
<li>Fixed letter viewer error when opening an invalid letter.</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
===Stat changes for C# mods===
 +
The tracked stats API (e.g. <code>Game1.stats</code> and <code>Game1.player.stats</code>) has been overhauled.
   −
        // add to bus stop
+
In particular, all stats are now in the underlying stat dictionary. If you use a stat field directly (like <code>stats.dirtHoed</code>), you'll need to use the property (like <code>stats.DirtHoed</code>) or method (like <code>stats.Get(StatsKey.DirtHoed)</code>). This lets the game or mods access all stats in a standard way without reflection. 1.6 also adds <samp>StatsKey</samp> constants for all stats tracked by the game.
        {
  −
            "Action": "EditMap",
  −
            "Target": "Maps/BusStop",
  −
            "MapProperties": {
  −
                "Music": "Example.ModId_Music"
  −
            }
  −
        }
  −
    ]
  −
}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
     −
====Other changes====
+
The <samp>stats</samp> API has also been redesigned:
* The game no longer crashes when playing audio which doesn't exist. It now logs an error and returns a default quiet click sound instead. (If you use <code>try..catch</code> to check if an audio cue exists, you should check <code>Game1.soundbank.Exists(name)</code> instead.)

   −
===Custom data fields===
+
For example:
Many data assets now have a <samp>CustomFields</samp> field. This is ignored by the game, but lets mods add their own data (e.g. to enable mod framework features).
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
uint daysPlayed = Game1.stats.Get(StatKeys.DaysPlayed);
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>Set(key, value)</samp>
 +
| Set the new value of a tracked stat. This method is new.
   −
For example, a content pack can [[#Custom crops|add a crop]] with custom fields:
+
For example:
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
{
+
Game1.stats.Set(StatKeys.ChildrenTurnedToDoves, 5);
    "Format": "</nowiki>{{Content Patcher version}}<nowiki>",

        {
+
| <samp>Increment(key)</samp><br /><samp>Increment(key, amount)</samp>
            "Action": "EditData",

| Add the given amount to the stat (default 1), and return the new stat value. This improves on the original <samp>incrementStat</samp>.
            "Target": "Data/Crops",
  −
            "Entries": {
  −
                "Example.Id_CucumberSeeds": {
  −
                    "Seasons": [ "summer" ],
  −
                    "DaysInPhase": [ 1, 2, 2, 2 ],
  −
                    "HarvestItemId": "Example.Id_Cucumber",
  −
                    "Texture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/crops.png}}",
  −
                    "SpriteIndex": 0,
     −
                    "CustomFields": {
+
For example:
                        "Example.FrameworkMod/WetTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/crops-wet.png}}"
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
                    }
+
uint stepsTaken = Game1.stats.Increment(StatKeys.StepsTaken);
                }
+
</syntaxhighlight>
            }
+
|}
        }
  −
    ]
  −
}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
     −
And then a C# mod could handle the custom field if it's set:
+
This can also be used to track custom mod stats, they doesn't need to be stats normally tracked by the game. Custom stats should be prefixed with your mod's unique ID to avoid conflicts:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
if (Game1.currentLocation.IsRainingHere())
+
Game1.stats.Set("Your.ModId_CustomStat", 5);
{
  −
    CropData data = crop.GetData();
  −
    if (data != null && data.CustomFields.TryGet("Example.FrameworkMod/WetTexture", out string textureName))
  −
    {
  −
        // do magic
  −
    }
  −
}
   
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
See <samp>CustomFields</samp> in the docs for each asset type to see if it's supported. Besides the sections listed on this page, custom fields were also added to <samp>Data/AdditionalFarms</samp>, <samp>Data/AdditionalLanguages</samp>, <samp>Data/Movies</samp>, and <samp>Data/SpecialOrders</samp>.
+
And finally, setting a stat to 0 now removes it from the stats dictionary (since that's the default for missing stats).
   −
===Custom giant crops===
+
===New C# utility methods===
You can now add/edit [[Crops#Giant Crops|giant crops]] by editing the <samp>Data/GiantCrops</samp> data asset.
+
Stardew Valley 1.6 adds several new methods to simplify common logic.
   −
This consists of a string → model lookup, where...
+
====Argument handling====
* The key is a unique identifier for the giant crop. The ID should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters. For custom giant crops, this should be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_GiantCropName</samp>.
+
The new <samp>ArgUtility</samp> class handles splitting, reading, and validating <samp>string[]</samp> argument lists. The main methods are:
* The value is a model with the fields listed below.

| <samp>FromItemId</samp>

| The [[#Custom items|item ID]] (qualified or unqualified) for the harvest ID of the regular crop which can turn into this giant crop. For example, <samp>(O)254</samp> is [[melon]].
+
| Split space-separated arguments in a string. This automatically ignores extra spaces, so <samp>" x &nbsp;y "</samp> and <samp>"x y"</samp> are equivalent. For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
Any number of giant crops can use the same <samp>FromItemId</samp> value. The first giant crop whose other fields match (if any) will spawn.

string[] fields = ArgUtility.SplitBySpace("a b c");

|-
 
|-
| <samp>HarvestItems</samp>
+
| <samp>SplitBySpaceAndGet</samp>
| The items which can be dropped when you break the giant crop. If multiple items match, they'll all be dropped.
+
| Get the value at an index in a space-delimited string (if found), else return the default value. For example:
   −
This consists of a list of models with these fields:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
{| class="wikitable"
+
string thirdField = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceAndGet("a b c", 2); // "c"
 +
string invalidFieldA = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceAndGet("a b c", 5); // null
 +
string invalidFieldB = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceAndGet("a b c", 5, defaultValue: "boop"); // "boop"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
This is more efficient than <samp>SplitBySpace</samp> when you only need a single value, but it's slower if you need multiple values.
 
|-
 
|-
! field
+
| <samp>SplitBySpaceQuoteAware</samp>
! effect
+
| Split space-separated arguments in a string, with support for using quotes to protect spaces within an argument. See <samp>SplitQuoteAware</samp> below for info on quote handling.
 +
 
 +
For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
string buildingName = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceQuoteAware("BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\"")[1]; // Junimo Hut
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 
|-
 
|-
| ''common fields''
+
| <samp>SplitQuoteAware</samp>
| See [[#Item spawn fields|item spawn fields]] for the generic item fields supported for harvest items.
+
| Split delimited arguments in a string, with support for using quotes to protect delimiters within an argument.
 +
 
 +
A quote in the text causes any delimiter to be ignored until the next quote, unless it's escaped like <code>\"</code>. Unescaped quotes are removed from the string. (Remember that backslashes need to be escaped in C# or JSON strings, like <code>"\\"</code> for a single backslash.)
 +
 
 +
For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware("A,B,C", ',');        // [ "A", "B", "C" ]
 +
ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware("A,\"B,C\",D", ','); // [ "A", "B,C", "D" ]
 +
ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware("A,\\\"B,C", ',');    // [ "A", "\"B", "C" ]
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
You can also set the optional arguments for more advanced cases. For example, [[Modding:Game state queries|game state queries]] use this to split twice:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
string gameStateQuery = "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\", SEASON Spring";
   −
If set to an [[#Item queries|item query]] which returns multiple items, one of them will be selected at random.
+
string[] queries = ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware(gameStateQuery, ',', StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries, keepQuotesAndEscapes: true); // [ "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\"", "SEASON Spring" ]
 +
string buildingName = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceQuoteAware(queries[0]); // Junimo Hut
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Chance</samp>
+
| <samp>EscapeQuotes</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The probability that this entry is selected, as a value between 0 (never drops) and 1 (always drops). Default 1 (100% chance).
+
| Escape quotes in a string so they're ignored by methods like <samp>SplitQuoteAware</samp>.
|-
+
 
| <samp>ForShavingEnchantment</samp>
+
This isn't idempotent (e.g. calling it twice will result in double-escaped quotes).
| ''(Optional)'' Whether this item is only dropped for [[Enchantments#Tool enchantments|Shaving enchantment]] drops (<samp>true</samp>), only when the giant crop is broken (<samp>false</samp>), or both (<samp>null</samp>). Default both.
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>ScaledMinStackWhenShaving</samp><br /><samp>ScaledMaxStackWhenShaving</samp>
+
| <samp>UnsplitQuoteAware</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' If set, the min/max stack size when this item is dropped due to the [[Forge#Enchantments|shaving enchantment]], scaled to the tool's power level.
+
| Combine an array of arguments into a single string with a custom delimiter, using quotes where needed to escape delimiters within an argument. Calling <samp>SplitQuoteAware</samp> on the resulting string with the same delimiter will produce the original values.
   −
This value is multiplied by the health deducted by the tool hit which triggered the enchantment. For example, an iridium axe which reduced the giant crop's health by 3 points will produce three times this value per hit.
+
For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
string args = ArgUtility.UnsplitQuoteAware(new[] { "A", "B C", "D" }, ' '); // A "B C" D
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
If both fields are set, the stack size is randomized between them. If only one is set, it's applied as a limit after the generic fields. If neither is set, the generic <samp>MinStack</samp>/<samp>MaxStack</samp> fields are applied as usual without scaling.
+
This isn't idempotent (e.g. calling it twice will result in double-escaped quotes).

This must be a spritesheet with one 490×128 pixel row per movie. A 13×19 area in the top-left corner of the row should contain the movie poster. With a 16-pixel offset from the left edge, there should be two rows of five 90×61 pixel movie screen images, with a six-pixel gap between each image. (The movie doesn't need to use all of the image slots.)

This is fault-tolerant as long as <samp>startAt</samp> isn't negative. For example:

====Content assets====
 
  −
For example, this content pack adds a new 'Pufferchick II' movie:
  −
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
  −
{

    "Format": "</nowiki>{{Content Patcher version}}<nowiki>",
  −
    "Changes": [

===Custom wedding event===
  −
The [[Marriage#The Wedding|wedding]] event can now be changed by editing the <samp>Data\Weddings</samp> data asset, which consists of a data model with two relevant fields (listed below).
  −

|-
 
|-
| <samp>EventScript</samp>
+
| <samp>LocalizedContentManager.DoesAssetExist</samp>
| The [[Modding:Event data|event scripts]] which play the wedding. The game will use the script for the spouse NPC/player if it exists, otherwise it'll use the default script.
+
| Get whether an asset exists in the game's <samp>Content</samp> folder or is provided through [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Content|SMAPI's content API]]. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
bool exists = Game1.content.DoesAssetExist<Map>("Maps/Town");
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>LocalizedContentManager.IsValidTranslationKey</samp>
 +
| Get whether a string is a translation key in the form <samp>{{t|asset name}}:{{t|key}}</samp>, and the asset and key both exist. For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
bool exists = Game1.content.IsValidTranslationKey("Strings\\NPCNames:Abigail");
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
====Filtering====
 +
The game now has an optimized <samp>RemoveWhere</samp> method for O(n) filtering on <samp>NetCollection</samp>, <samp>NetDictionary</samp>, <samp>NetList</samp>, and (via extension) <samp>IDictionary</samp>. This also deprecates <samp>Filter</samp> methods where they existed.
 +
 
 +
For example:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
int dirtTilesRemoved = Game1.currentLocation.terrainFeatures.RemoveWhere(pair => pair.Value is HoeDirt);
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
This consists of a string → string dictionary, where...
+
====Game paths====
* The key is an NPC internal name (like <samp>Abigail</samp>), unique player ID, or <samp>default</samp> for the default script (which handles marrying either an NPC or player);
+
The game folder paths were previously hardcoded throughout the code. These are now centralized with a few methods:
* The value is a [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable strings]] for the event script to play.
     −
The event scripts also have access to three extra tokens:

+
| Get the absolute path to the game's app data folder (which contains the [[saves|<Samp>Saves</samp> folder]]) or local app data folder (which contains <samp>ErrorLogs</samp> and <samp>Screenshots</samp>). These methods are equivalent on Windows, but different on Linux/macOS.

| Get the absolute path to the game's <samp>Screenshots</samp> folder.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>[SpouseActor]</samp>
+
| <samp>options.GetFilePathForDefaultOptions</samp>
| The actor ID for the NPC or other player being married (like <samp>Abigail</samp> for an NPC or <samp>farmer2</samp> for a player). This can be used in event commands like <code>faceDirection [SpouseActor] 1</code>.
+
| Get the absolute path to the game's <samp>default_options</samp> file.
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
====Hash sets====
 +
Since the [[#Hash set fields|game now uses hash sets]], it has a few extensions for working with them:
   −
(You can also use <samp>spouse</samp> as an actor ID, but that will only work when marrying an NPC.)
  −
|}
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>Attendees</samp>
  −
| The other NPCs which should attend the wedding (unless they're the spouse). This consists of a string → model lookup, where the key is the internal NPC name, and the value is a model with these fields:

|-
  −
| <samp>Setup</samp>
  −
| The NPC's tile position and facing direction when they attend. This is equivalent to field index 2 in the [[Modding:Event data#Basic format|event basic data]].
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Celebration</samp>
+
| <samp>RemoveWhere</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The [[Modding:Event data|event script]] to run during the celebration, like <samp>faceDirection Pierre 3 true</samp> which makes Pierre turn to face left. This can contain any number of script commands.
+
| Remove all values matching a condition.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>Condition</samp>
+
| <samp>Toggle</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A [[#Game state queries|game state query]] which indicates whether the NPC should attend. Defaults to true.
+
| Add or remove a value in the set based on a boolean. For example:
|}
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
public bool hasClubCard
 +
{
 +
    get { return mailReceived.Contains("HasClubCard"); }
 +
    set { mailReceived.Toggle("HasClubCard", value); }
 +
}
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 
|}
 
|}
   −
===Game state queries===
+
====Iteration====
A ''game state query'' is a vanilla way to specify conditions for some content like [[#Custom shops|shop data]], inspired by [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]]'s conditions. A query consists of a comma-delimited list of conditions in the form {{t|type}} {{o|arguments}}. The type can be prefixed with <code>!</code> to negate it. The query is true if it's null/blank, or if every listed condition exists and is true. For example, <code>!SEASON Spring, WEATHER Here Sun</code> is true on sunny non-[[spring]] days.
+
The new <samp>Utility.ForEach*</samp> methods let you check every thing of a type in the game world quickly and efficiently (with minimal allocations, boxing, etc). These are significantly faster than equivalent code using LINQ or <samp>yield</samp> methods.
 
  −
'''⚠''' Game state queries are partly case-sensitive. While some values are case-insensitive (e.g. both <code>SEASON Spring</code> and <code>SEASON spring</code> will work), this isn't consistent. Using the exact capitalization is recommended to avoid issues.
     −
====Argument format====
  −
Game state queries take space-delimited arguments. For example, <code>BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here Cabins</code> has two arguments: <code>Here</code> and <code>Cabins</code>.
  −
  −
You can add quotes to keep spaces within an argument. For example, <code>BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here "Junimo Hut"</code> passes <code>Junimo Hut</code> as one argument. You can escape inner quotes with backslashes like <code>ANY "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\""</code>. Remember that quotes and backslashes inside JSON strings need to be escaped too, like <code>"Condition": "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\""</code>.

   −
For example, <samp>SYNCED_CHOICE day example_key 1 5 1 2</samp> chooses a random value between 1 and 5, and checks if it's either 1 or 2.
+
The <samp>TryCreateDelegate</samp> method will cache created delegates, so calling it again will just return the same delegate instance.
   −
This is mainly useful in cases where you need to pick between a number of discrete cases. For regular probability checks, see <samp>SYNCED_RANDOM</samp> instead.
+
===Game logging changes===
|-
+
The game now writes debug output through an internal <samp>Game1.log</samp> wrapper, instead of using <samp>Console.WriteLine</samp> directly. For example:
| <samp>SYNCED_RANDOM {{t|interval}} {{t|key}} {{t|chance}} {{o|@addDailyLuck}}</samp>
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
| A random probability check. The result will be identical for all queries with the same {{t|key}} value during the given {{t|interval}} (one of <samp>tick</samp>, <samp>day</samp>, <samp>season</samp>, or <samp>year</samp>), including between players in multiplayer mode.
+
// old code
 +
Console.WriteLine("Error playing sound: " + ex);
   −
For example, <samp>SYNCED_RANDOM day cart_rare_seed 0.4</samp> has a 40% chance to be true the first time it's called that day, and will always be the same value if called again with the same key on the same day.
+
// new code
 +
Game1.log.Error("Error playing sound.", ex);
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
If the exact text <samp>@addDailyLuck</samp> is specified, the current player's [[Daily Luck|daily luck]] is added to the probability.
+
This has a few benefits:
|-
+
* For vanilla players, the game no longer uses time & resources writing to a console that's not visible anyway.
| <samp>SYNCED_SUMMER_RAIN_RANDOM {{t|base chance}} {{t|day multiplier}}</samp>
+
* For modded players, SMAPI can now...
| A specialized variant of <samp>SYNCED_DAY_RANDOM</samp> used to calculate the chance of rain in summer, which increases with the day number.
+
** distinguish between the game's debug/warn/error messages (so many warnings/errors that would previously appear as hidden <samp>TRACE</samp> messages will now be shown with the correct level);
|}
+
** apply its formatting rules to exceptions logged by the game too;
</dd>
+
** redirect game output much more efficiently without console interception.

====Audio====
These queries apply in cases where there's an item (e.g. machine recipes, shops, etc); they'll return false if not applicable. They take a {{t|type}} argument which can be <samp>Input</samp> (the machine input item) or <samp>Target</samp> (the machine output, tree fruit, shop item, etc).

====Using queries elsewhere====
+
Queue an [[Random Events#Farm events|overnight farm event]] if one doesn't plan naturally instead. The {{t|event id}} can be one of...
C# code can use the <samp>GameStateQuery</samp> class to work with queries, like <code>GameStateQuery.CheckConditions(query)</code>.
+
* <samp>dogs</samp>;
 +
* [[Random Events#Earthquake|<samp>earthquake</samp>]];
 +
* [[Random Events#The Crop Fairy|<samp>fairy</samp>]];
 +
* [[Random Events#Meteorite|<samp>meteorite</samp>]];
 +
* [[Random Events#Stone Owl|<samp>owl</samp>]];
 +
* [[Random Events#Strange Capsule|<samp>ufo</samp>]];
 +
* [[Random Events#The Witch|<samp>witch</samp>]].
   −
You can also use game state queries in [[Modding:Event data|event preconditions]] using the new <samp>G</samp> condition flag, like <code>some_event_id/G !SEASON Spring, WEATHER Here Sun</code>.
+
Note that even if the farm event runs, it may exit without doing anything (e.g. rare events like <samp>ufo</samp> have extra condition checks when the start).
 +
|-
 +
| <samp>shop</samp>
 +
| ''Syntax:'' <samp>shop {{t|shop ID}} {{o|owner name}}</samp>
   −
====Extensibility====
+
Open a [[#Custom shops|shop defined in <samp>Data/Shops</samp>]], regardless of whether one of the owners is nearby. Specifying {{o|owner name}} will use that NPC, otherwise the command will find the closest valid NPC if possible (else open with no NPC).
C# mods can check if a query exists using <code>GameStateQuery.Exists("Example.ModId_ConditionName")</code>, and define custom conditions using <code>GameStateQuery.Register("Example.ModId_ConditionName", handleQueryMethod)</code>. To avoid conflicts, prefixing custom condition names with your mod ID is strongly recommended.
  −
 
  −
===Item queries===
  −
''Item queries'' choose one or more items dynamically, instead of specifying a single item ID. These are used in various places like [[#Custom machines|machine data]] and [[#Custom shops|shop data]].
  −
 
  −
====Available queries====
  −
The supported item queries are:
  −
{| class="wikitable"
   
|-
 
|-
! query
+
| <samp>skinBuilding</samp> / <samp>bsm</samp>
! effect
+
| If the player is standing right under a building, open a menu to change the building appearance.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>ALL_ITEMS {{o|type ID}}</samp>
+
| <samp>testwedding</samp>
| Every item provided by the [[#Custom items|item data definitions]]. If {{o|type ID}} is set to an item type identifier (like <samp>(O)</samp> for object), only returns items from the matching item data definition.
+
| Immediately play the [[Marriage#The Wedding|wedding]] event. This requires the player to be married first - to test specific NPCs, <samp>debug marry</samp> the NPC followed by this command.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>DISH_OF_THE_DAY</samp>
+
| <samp>thishouseupgrade</samp> / <samp>thishouse</samp> / <samp>thu</samp>
| The [[The Stardrop Saloon#Rotating Stock|Saloon's dish of the day]].
+
| Equivalent to <samp>houseupgrade</samp>, but can be used to upgrade another player's house by running it from inside or just south of its exterior.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>FLAVORED_ITEM {{t|type}} {{t|ingredient ID}} {{o|ingredient flavor ID}}</samp>
+
| <samp>toggleCheats</samp>
| A flavored item like Apple Wine. The {{t|type}} can be one of [[Aged Roe|<samp>AgedRoe</samp>]], [[Honey|<samp>Honey</samp>]], [[Jellies and Pickles|<samp>Jelly</samp>]], [[Juice|<samp>Juice</samp>]], [[Jellies and Pickles|<samp>Pickle</samp>]], [[Roe|<samp>Roe</samp>]], or [[Wine|<samp>Wine</samp>]]. The {{t|ingredient ID}} is the qualified or unqualified item ID which provides the flavor (like Apple in Apple Wine). For <samp>Honey</samp>, you can set the {{t|flavor ID}} to <samp>-1</samp> for Wild Honey.
+
| Enable or disable entering debug commands into the in-game chat (prefixed with <samp>/</samp>).
 
  −
For aged roe only, the {{o|ingredient flavor ID}} is the flavor of the {{t|ingredient ID}}. For example, <samp>FLAVORED_ITEM AgedRoe (O)812 128</samp> creates Aged Pufferfish Roe (812 is [[roe]] and 128 is [[pufferfish]]).
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>ITEMS_SOLD_BY_PLAYER {{t|shop location}}</samp>
+
| <samp>tokens</samp>
| Random items the player has recently sold to the {{t|shop location}}, which can be one of <samp>SeedShop</samp> (Pierre's store) or <samp>FishShop</samp> (Willy's fish shop).
+
| ''Syntax:'' <samp>tokens {{t|tokenized string}}</samp>
|-
  −
| <samp>LOCATION_FISH {{t|location}} {{t|bobber tile}} {{t|depth}}</samp>
  −
| A random item that can be found by fishing in the given location. The {{t|location}} should be the internal name of the location, {{t|bobber tile}} is the position of the fishing rod's bobber in the water (in the form <samp>{{t|x}} {{t|y}}</samp>), and {{t|depth}} is the bobber's distance from the nearest shore measured in tiles (where 0 is directly adjacent to the shore).
     −
'''Careful:''' since the target location might use <samp>LOCATION_FISH</samp> queries in its list, it's easy to cause a circular reference by mistake (e.g. location A gets fish from B, which gets fish from A). If this happens, the game will log an error and return no item.
+
Parses a [[Modding:Tokenizable strings|tokenizable string]] and prints its output. For example:
 +
<pre>
 +
tokens [LocalizedText Strings\StringsFromCSFiles:MapPage.cs.11064 [EscapedText [FarmName]]]
 +
> Result: "Lon Lon Farm"
 +
</pre>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>LOST_BOOK_OR_ITEM {{o|alternate query}}</samp>
+
| <samp>worldMapLines</samp>
| Returns a [[Lost Books|lost book]] if the player hasn't found them all yet, else the result of the {{o|alternate query}} if specified, else nothing.
+
| Toggles the [[Modding:World map#Debug view|world map's debug view]].
 
+
|}</li>
For example, <code>LOST_BOOK_OR_ITEM (O)770</code> returns [[Mixed Seeds|mixed seeds]] if the player found every book already.
+
<li>Improved existing debug commands:
|-
  −
| <samp>RANDOM_ARTIFACT_FOR_DIG_SPOT</samp>
  −
| A random item which is defined in <samp>Data/Objects</samp> with the <samp>Arch</samp> (artifact) type, and whose spawn rules in the <samp>Miscellaneous</samp> field match the current location and whose random probability passes. This is mainly used by [[Artifact Spot|artifact spots]].
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>RANDOM_BASE_SEASON_ITEM</samp>
  −
| A random seasonal vanilla item which can be found by searching garbage cans, breaking containers in the mines, etc.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>RANDOM_ITEMS {{t|type definition ID}} {{o|options}}</samp>
  −
| Random items from the given [[#Item types|type definition ID]], with any combination of the following criteria and options (in any order, all optional):

|-
 
|-
| <samp>TOOL_UPGRADES {{o|tool ID}}</samp>

====Item spawn fields====
  −
Several data assets (like [[#Custom machines|machines]] and [[#Custom shops|shops]]) let you configure items to create. For consistency, these all share a set of common fields (internally represented by <samp>ISpawnItemData</samp>, and <samp>GenericSpawnItemData</samp> or <samp>GenericSpawnItemDataWithCondition</samp>):

|-
 
|-
| <samp>ID</samp>
+
| <samp>mailForTomorrow</samp>
| A unique identifier for this entry (not the item itself) within the current list. The ID should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters. For custom items, this should be prefixed with your mod ID like <samp>Example.ModId_Parsnips</samp>.
+
| Fixed zeros in the mail ID getting replaced with underscores.
 
  −
This is semi-optional — if omitted, it'll be auto-generated from the <samp>ItemId</samp>, <samp>RandomItemId</samp>, and <samp>IsRecipe</samp> fields. However multiple entries with the same ID may cause unintended behavior (e.g. shop items reducing each others' stock limits), so it's often a good idea to set a globally unique ID instead.

|-
| <samp>RandomItemId</samp>
+
| <samp>moveBuilding</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A list of item IDs to randomly choose from, using the same format as <samp>ItemId</samp> (including item queries). If set, <samp>ItemId</samp> is optional and ignored. Each entry in the list has an equal probability of being chosen. For example:
+
| Now applies to the current location, instead of the farm.
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
  −
// wood, stone, or pizza

| <samp>Condition</samp>
+
| <samp>movie</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' A [[#Game state queries|game state query]] which indicates whether this entry should be applied. Defaults to always true.
+
| Rewritten; it's now simpler, applies the normal game logic, defaults to today's movie, and avoids depending on NPC indexes in <samp>Data/NPCDispositions</samp> since those can change with custom NPCs.
 +
 
 +
New usage:
 +
: ''<samp>debug movie {{o|movie ID}} {{o|invite NPC name}}''

   −
'''Note:''' not supported for weapon projectiles.
+
The movie ID defaults to today's movie, and the NPC name can be omitted to watch the movie without an invitee. Specifying <samp>current</samp> as the movie uses the default value.
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>IsRecipe</samp>
+
| <samp>panMode</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' Whether to get the crafting/cooking recipe for the item, instead of the item itself. Default false.

|-
| <samp>Quality</samp>

| ''(Optional)'' The quality of the item to find. One of <samp>0</samp> (normal), <samp>1</samp> (silver), <samp>2</samp> (gold), or <samp>4</samp> (iridium). Invalid values will snap to the closest valid one (e.g. <samp>7</samp> will become iridium). Default -1, which keeps the value set by the item query (usually 0).

| <samp>question</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' The item's minimum and default stack size. Default -1, which keeps the value set by the item query (usually 1).

|-
 
|-
| <samp>MaxStack</samp>
+
| <samp>runTestEvent</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' If set to a value higher than <samp>MinStack</samp>, the stack is set to a random value between them (inclusively). Default -1.

|-
| <samp>ObjectDisplayName</samp>

| <samp>seenEvent</samp>
| ''(Optional)'' For objects only, a [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable string]] for the item's display name. Defaults to the item's display name in <samp>Data/Objects</samp>. This can optionally contain <code>%DISPLAY_NAME</code> (the item's default display name) and <code>%PRESERVED_DISPLAY_NAME</code> (the preserved item's display name if applicable, ''e.g.'' if set via <samp>PreserveId</samp> in [[#Custom machines|machine data]]).
+
| You can now forget an event (instead of adding it) by setting the second argument to false, like <samp>seenEvent {{t|id}} false</samp>.
 
  −
'''Careful:''' text in this field will be saved permanently in the object's info and won't be updated when the player changes language or the content pack changes. That includes Content Patcher translations (like <code><nowiki>%DISPLAY_NAME {{i18n: wine}}</nowiki></code>), which will save the translated text for the current language. Instead, add the text to a strings asset like <samp>Strings/Objects</samp> and then use the [[#Tokenizable string format|<samp>[LocalizedText]</samp> token]].
  −
{{collapse|For example, here's how you'd create flavored oils with Content Patcher:|content=
  −
<ol>

===More <samp>modData</samp> fields===
  −
The <samp>modData</samp> fields are dictionaries of arbitrary string values which are synchronized in multiplayer and persisted in the save file, so mods can store custom data about the instances. The game already has the field for buildings, characters (including NPCs and players), items, locations, and terrain features.

  −
Stardew Valley 1.6 adds <samp>modData</samp> fields to the <samp>Projectile</samp> and <samp>Quest</samp> types too, to support custom projectile/quest mods.
  −
 
  −
===Quantity modifiers===
  −
''Quantity modifiers'' apply dynamic changes to a numeric field in a data asset like [[#Custom shops|<samp>Data/Shops</samp>]] or [[#Custom machines|<samp>Data/Machines</samp>]]. For example, you can multiply a shop item's price or increase a machine output's quality. You can specify any number of modifiers for the same field.

<li>Reworked how debug commands log output. This fixes an issue where they don't always log to the right place (e.g. a command run through the chatbox might log to the console or vice-versa), and lets mods pass a custom logger to capture or redirect output.</li>

+
====Menus & UI====
Stardew Valley 1.6 adds support for literal strings that contain tokens. These are only usable in specific fields (their docs will say 'tokenizable string' with a link to this section).
+
* Rewrote calendar menu (<samp>Billboard</samp>) to simplify custom events & event types. C# mods can now edit <samp>billboard.calendarDayData</samp> or patch <samp>billboard.GetEventsForDay</samp> to add new events.
 +
* Added <samp>Game1.textShadowDarkerColor</samp> field for the colors previously hardcoded in <samp>Utility.drawTextWithShadow</samp>.
 +
* Added <samp>MoneyDial.ShouldShakeMainMoneyBox</samp> field to simplify custom dials.
 +
* Partly de-hardcoded <samp>ShopMenu</samp> filter tabs. You can now change filter tabs by setting the <samp>shopMenu.tabButtons</samp> field with arbitrary <samp>Func&lt;ISalable, bool&gt; Filter</samp> values, or by using a predefined set of tabs like <samp>shopMenu.UseDresserTabs()</samp>.
 +
* The <samp>SpriteText</samp> methods now accept arbitrary <samp>Color</samp> tints instead of a few predefined color IDs.
 +
* The <samp>DiscreteColorPicker.getColorFromSelection</samp> methods are now static for reuse.
 +
* Fixed <samp>DiscreteColorPicker</samp> constructor ignoring the initial color argument, and added a constructor which takes a <samp>Color</samp> value.
 +
* Fixed an edge case where a custom language's fonts wouldn't be loaded when switching language.
   −
====Literal text====
+
====[[Modding:Modder Guide/Game Fundamentals#Net fields|Net fields]]====
Previously you often needed to load text from a [[Modding:Modder Guide/Game Fundamentals#String keys|string key]] in data assets. With this new format, you can use the literal text directly in the asset instead (including Content Patcher tokens):
+
* Removed implicit conversion operators for most types due to their sometimes counter-intuitive behavior. The only ones left are <samp>NetBool</samp>, <samp>NetInt</samp>, and <samp>NetString</samp>; those are now marked obsolete and will raise build warnings on use.
 +
* <samp>NetLocationRef</samp> now has a public <samp>LocationName</samp> and <samp>IsStructure</samp>, and its <samp>Update</samp> method allows forcing an update.
   −
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
+
====Quests====
// before
+
{{/doc status|[[Modding:Quest data]]|done=false}}
"Dialogue": "Strings\\StringsFromCSFiles:ShopMenu.cs.11488",
     −
// after: literal text supported
+
* Quests now have string IDs, to simplify custom quest frameworks.
"Dialogue": "Welcome to Pierre's!",
+
* Added validation for quest data parsing.
 +
* In [[Modding:Special orders|<samp>Data/SpecialOrders</samp>]], the <samp>Duration</samp> and <samp>Repeatable</samp> fields are now strongly-typed and case-insensitive.
 +
* For C# mods, fixed <samp>DescriptionElement</samp> not allowing more than four translation token substitutions.
   −
// after: literal text with Content Patcher tokens
+
====Dates & seasons====
"Dialogue": "Welcome to Pierre's, {{PlayerName}}! {{i18n: translatable-text}}",
+
* Added a <samp>Season</samp> enum for strongly-typed, case-insensitive season checks (like <code>Game1.season == Season.Spring</code> instead of <code>Game1.currentSeason == "spring"</code>).
</syntaxhighlight>
+
* Added <samp>Game1.season</samp>, <samp>Game1.GetSeasonForLocation</samp>, <samp>Game1.WorldDate.Season</samp>, and <samp>location.GetSeason()</samp> to get the season enum.
 +
* Added <samp>Utility.getSeasonKey</samp> to get the key form from a season enum.
 +
* Improved <samp>WorldDate</samp>:
 +
** added <samp>Now()</samp> to get a new instance matching the current date;
 +
** added <samp>WorldDate.Equals</samp> and <samp>GetHashCode</samp> implementations;
 +
** added code docs;
 +
** <samp>TotalDays</samp> is no longer written to the save file.
 +
* Renamed some members for clarity (<samp>Game1.GetSeasonForLocation</samp> → <samp>GetSeasonKeyForLocation</samp>, <samp>location.GetSeasonForLocation</samp> → <samp>GetSeasonKey</samp>, <samp>WorldDate.Season</samp> → <samp>SeasonKey</samp>).
 +
* Fixed <samp>location.GetSeasonKey()</samp> not applying the greenhouse logic.
   −
====Tokens====
+
====Time====
You can inject tokens using square brackets. For example, <code>"[LocalizedText Strings\StringsFromCSFiles:ShopMenu.cs.11488] This is raw text"</code> will show something like "''Welcome to Pierre's! This is raw text''". Token names are not case-sensitive.
+
* For C# mods, the <samp>Game1.realMilliSecondsPerGame</samp> and <samp>Game1.realMilliSecondsPerGameTenMinutes</samp> fields are no longer marked <samp>const</samp>, and the <samp>GameLocation.getExtraMillisecondsPerInGameMinuteForThisLocation()</samp> method has been replaced with a settable <samp>ExtraMillisecondsPerInGameMinute</samp> property. That lets you change the time rate used by the vanilla game code, but you should be careful doing this since it may cause unintended effects.
   −
Here are the supported tokens:

====Other====

| <samp>[ArticleFor {{t|word}}]</samp>
+
* The game now tracks the locations a player has visited. Mods can check the list in C# (via <samp>Game1.player.locationsVisited</samp>) or [[Modding:Game state queries|game state queries]] (via <samp>PLAYER_VISITED_LOCATION</samp>). For pre-existing saves, the list is retroactively populated based on accessible locations, events seen, mail flags set, etc.
| The grammatical article (''a'' or ''an'') for the given word when playing in English, else blank. For example, <code>[ArticleFor apple] apple</code> will output ''an apple''.
+
* Added menu queuing (via <samp>Game1.nextClickableMenu</samp> in C#). For example, this applies if you try to take an item from a mail letter when your inventory is full.
|-
+
* Added C# code docs in many places.
| <samp>[CharacterName {{t|name}}]</samp>
+
* Added <samp>Id</samp> fields to simplify content pack edits in fish pond, movie concession, random bundle, and tailoring recipe data.
| The translated display name for an NPC, given their internal name.
+
* Added <samp>Game1.Multiplayer</samp> to get the game's low-level handler. (Most code should still use [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Multiplayer|SMAPI's multiplayer API]] though.)
|-
+
* Added <samp>Game1.versionBuildNumber</samp> with the build number (like <samp>26039</samp>).
| <samp>[DayOfMonth]</samp>
+
* Added field-changed events to <samp>NetPosition</samp>.
| The numeric day of month, like <samp>5</samp> on spring 5.
+
* Added <samp>LocalizedContentManager.CurrentLanguageString</samp>, which caches the language code like <samp>pt-BR</samp>).
|-
+
* The game now uses <samp>[XmlInclude]</samp> on its types more consistently. That means the default save serializer can handle more types (e.g. all monsters), and it's easier to create custom serializers.
| <samp>[EscapedText]</samp><br /><samp>[EscapedText {{t|text}}]</samp>
+
* Refactored many parts of the code to make it more moddable for C# mods. This includes marking all classes public, changing <samp>private</samp> members to <samp>protected</samp> or <samp>public</samp>, marking members <samp>virtual</samp>, rewriting or splitting code so it's easier to extend, etc.
| Marks a snippet of text as a single argument, so it can be safely passed into another token's space-delimited arguments even if it's empty or contains spaces.
+
* The <samp>startup_preferences</samp> file is now formatted to simplify troubleshooting.
 +
* Fixed many cases where the game used <samp>Game1.player</samp> instead of the provided player.
   −
For example, the <samp>SpouseFarmerText</samp> expects two arguments separated by spaces. This passes an empty string for the first one, and text containing spaces for the second:
+

  −
| The farm name for the current save (without the injected "Farm" text).
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>[GenderedText {{t|male text}} {{t|female text}}</samp>
  −
| Depending on the target player's gender, show either the male text or female text. If the text contains spaces, you'll need to escape them using <samp>EscapedText</samp>.
  −
|-
  −
| <samp>[LocalizedText {{t|string key}}]</samp><br /><samp>[LocalizedText {{t|string key}} {{t|token values}}+]</samp>

If omitted, they default to <samp>day</samp> and the shop ID respectively.
+
See also [[#Breaking changes for content packs|''Breaking changes for content packs'']], which affect C# mods too.
|}
     −
When passing an input argument for tokens like <samp>ArticleFor</samp>, the input can contain its own nested tokens. For example, <code>"[ArticleFor [SuggestedItem]] [SuggestedItem]"</code> would output something like ''an Apple''.
+
===.NET 6===
 +
: ''See also: [[#.NET 6|.NET 6]] under what's new.''
   −
If you're using [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]], you can use its tokens anywhere in the string (including within square brackets); they'll be expanded before the game parses the string. For example, <code><nowiki>"{{Spouse}} would love [ArticleFor [SuggestedItem]] [SuggestedItem]!"</nowiki></code> would output something like "''Alexa would love an Apple!''".
+
Stardew Valley 1.6 updates from .NET 5 to .NET 6. SMAPI can still load .NET 5 mods fine, but you'll get a build error when compiling them. To update a C# mod:
 
+
<ol>
====Extensibility====
+
<li>Make sure you have [https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs Visual Studio Community 2022] or later. (Compiling .NET 6 with earlier versions of Visual Studio isn't officially supported.)</li>
C# mods can define custom tokens by calling <code>TokenParser.RegisterParser("tokenName", ...)</code>. To avoid conflicts, prefixing custom condition names with your mod ID (like <samp>Example.ModId_TokenName</samp>) is strongly recommended.
+
<li>In Visual Studio, click ''Help > Check For Updates'' and install the latest version.</li>
 +
<li>Fully exit Visual Studio.</li>
 +
<li>Open each mod's <samp>.csproj</samp> file in a text editor, then find this line:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
 +
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
And change it to this:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
 +
<TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>Delete your solution's hidden <samp>.vs</samp> folder, and every project's <samp>bin</samp> and <samp>obj</samp> folders.</li>
 +
<li>Reopen the solution in Visual Studio, click ''Build > Rebuild Solution'', and make sure it still loads into the game fine.</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
 
 +
===Item ID changes===
 +
: ''See also: [[#Custom items|custom items in what's new]].''
   −
===[[Modding:Event data|Event]] changes===
+
The [[#Custom items|main <samp>Item</samp> properties have changed]]. To migrate existing code:
'''Major changes:'''
   
<ul>
 
<ul>
<li><p>Event IDs are now strings, so mods can use a unique key instead of hoping no other mod uses the same number. Unconditional events must have an empty precondition in their key (like <samp>"Example.ModId_EventName/"</samp>) to distinguish them from forks.</p>
+
<li>Don't use <samp>ParentSheetIndex</samp> to compare items. For example, <samp>item.ParentSheetIndex == 0</samp> will match both [[weeds]] and any custom item whose sprite is the first one in its custom spritesheet. You should compare items using [[#Custom items|their new <samp>ItemId</samp> and <samp>QualifiedItemId</samp> properties]] instead. For example, here's how to migrate various common forms:
   −
<p>Prefixing the event ID with your mod ID is recommended to simplify troubleshooting and avoid conflicts. For best compatibility, custom IDs should only contain alphanumeric/underscore/dot characters.</p></li>
  −
<li>Added validation for event preconditions & commands. If a format or assumption is invalid, the game now logs a detailed error and (if applicable) skips the command, instead of crashing or silently ignoring it. This also means event arguments are stricter (e.g. you can no longer set a true/false field to an invalid value, inner quotes in quoted arguments now need to be escaped, etc).</li>
  −
<li>Event commands & preconditions are now quote-aware, so you can escape spaces and slashes in arguments like <code>/speak "I'm running A/B tests"/</code>.</li>
  −
<li>Event commands now trim surrounding whitespace, so they can be multilined for readability. For example:
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
  −
"SomeEventId/": "
  −
    none/-1000 -1000/farmer 5 7 0/
  −
    skippable/
  −
    viewport 5 7 10/
  −
    ...
  −
"
  −
</syntaxHighlight></li>
  −
<li>Festivals can now have a custom festival-started notification message by setting the <samp>startedMessage</samp> field in <samp>Data/Festivals/*</samp> to a [[#Tokenizable string format|tokenizable string]].</li>
  −
<li>Event/festival commands with a direction argument now allow both case-insensitive names (like <samp>up</samp>) and numeric values.</li>
  −
<li>C# mods can now add custom event preconditions & commands using <samp>Event.RegisterCustomPrecondition</samp> and <samp>Event.RegisterCustomCommand</samp> respectively.</li>
  −
<li>Added new preconditions:
   
{| class="wikitable"
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
|-
! precondition
+
! old code
! description
+
! new code
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>!</samp>
  −
| Prefixing <samp>!</samp> to any other precondition will now invert it. For example, <code>!O Abigail</code> will match if the player is ''not'' married to Abigail.
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>G</samp>
+
| <samp>item.ParentSheetIndex == 848</samp>
| Check the result of a [[#Game state queries|game state query]], like <code>G !WEATHER Here Sun</code> for 'not sunny in this location'.
+
| <samp>item.QualifiedItemId == "(O)848"</samp>
|}
  −
</li>
  −
<li>Added new event commands:
  −
{| class="wikitable"
   
|-
 
|-
! command
+
| <samp>IsNormalObjectAtParentSheetIndex(item, 74)</samp>
! description
+
| <samp>item.QualifiedItemId == "(O)74"</samp>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>addItem {{t|item ID}} {{o|count}} {{o|quality}}</samp>
+
| <samp>!item.bigCraftable && item.ParentSheetIndex == 128</samp>
| Add an item to the player inventory (or open a grab menu if their inventory is full). The {{t|item ID}} is the [[#Custom items|qualified or unqualified item ID]], and {{o|quality}} is a [[Modding:Items#Quality|numeric quality value]].
+
| <samp>item.QualifiedItemId == "(O)128"</samp>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>addSpecialOrder {{t|order ID}}</samp><br /><samp>removeSpecialOrder {{t|order ID}}</samp>
+
| <samp>item is Boots && item.ParentSheetIndex == 505</samp>
| Add or remove a special order to the player team. This affects all players, since special orders are shared.
+
| <samp>item.QualifiedItemId == "(B)505"</samp>
|-
+
|}</li>
| <samp>mailToday {{t|mail key}}</samp>
+
<li>Don't assume item sprites are in the vanilla spritesheets. For example, instead of rendering <samp>Game1.objectSpriteSheet</samp> for an object, call <code>ItemRegistry.GetMetadata(item.QualifiedItemId).GetTexture()</code> to get its texture.</li>
| Adds a letter to the mailbox immediately, given the {{t|mail key}} in <samp>Data/Mail</samp>.
+
<li>Creating items works just like before, except that you now specify the item's <samp>ItemId</samp> (''not'' <samp>QualifiedItemId</samp>) instead of its <samp>ParentSheetIndex</samp>. This is the same value for vanilla items. For example:
|-
+
 
| <samp>stopSound {{t|sound ID}} {{o|immediate}}</samp>
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
| Stop a sound started with the <samp>startSound</samp> command. This has no effect if the sound has already stopped playing on its own (or hasn't been started). If you started multiple sounds with the same ID, this will stop all of them (e.g. <code>startSound fuse/startSound fuse/stopSound fuse</code>).
+
new Object("634", 1);                      // vanilla item
 +
new Object("Example.ModId_Watermelon", 1); // custom item
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
You can also use the new <samp>ItemRegistry</samp> API to construct items from their <samp>QualifiedItemId</samp>:
 +
 
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
 +
Item item = ItemRegistry.Create("(B)505"); // Rubber Boots
 +
</syntaxhighlight></li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
===Other ID changes===
 +
Many other things in the game now have unique string IDs too (including [[#Buff overhaul|buffs]], [[#String event IDs|events]], and fruit trees). To migrate existing code:
 +
 
 +
* When referencing numeric IDs, you usually just need to convert them into a string (like <code>Game1.player.hasBuff("1590166")</code> or <code>Game1.player.eventsSeen.Contains("1590166")</code>).
 +
* When creating buffs, see [[#Buff overhaul|buff overhaul]] for how to create buffs now.
 +
* For pre-existing content pack data, see migration steps in the ''[[#Unique string IDs|unique string IDs]]'' section.
 +
 
 +
===Building and animal changes===
 +
: ''See also: [[#Build anywhere|build anywhere in what's new]].''
 +
 
 +
* Since all locations now allow buildings and animals, mod code which handles <samp>BuildableGameLocation</samp> and <samp>IAnimalLocation</samp> won't detect all buildable locations. You can replace them with <samp>location.IsBuildableLocation()</samp> (or just access <samp>location.buildings</samp> directly) and <samp>location.animals.Any()</samp> instead. Mods should no longer have any reference at all to <samp>BuildableGameLocation</samp> and <samp>IAnimalLocation</samp>.
 +
* Since buildings can be built anywhere, you can no longer assume a building is on the farm. You can check the new <samp>building.buildingLocation</samp> field instead.
 +
* You should review direct references to the farm (like <code>Game1.getFarm()</code> or <code>Game1.getLocationFromName("Farm")</code>) to see if it needs to be rewritten to allow other locations.
 +
* <code>Utility.numSilos()</code> should no longer be used to calculate available hay, since it doesn't account for custom buildings with hay storage. Use <code>Game1.getFarm().GetHayCapacity()</code> instead.
 +
* The <samp>Cat</samp> and <samp>Dog</samp> classes are now unused; all pets are now <samp>Pet</samp> directly.
 +
 
 +
===Player changes===
 +
: ''See also: [[#Buff overhaul|buff overhaul in what's new]].''
   −
By default the sound will stop immediately. For looping sounds, you can pass <samp>false</samp> to the {{o|immediate}} argument to stop the sound when it finishes playing the current iteration instead (e.g. <code>stopSound fuse false</code>).
+
<ul>
 +

===New C# utility methods===
  −
Stardew Valley 1.6 adds several new methods to simplify common logic.
  −
 
  −
====Argument handling====
  −
The new <samp>ArgUtility</samp> class handles splitting, reading, and validating <samp>string[]</samp> argument lists. The main methods are:
  −
 
  −
; Splitting arrays&#58;
  −
: {| class="wikitable"
   
|-
 
|-
! <samp>ArgUtility</samp> method
+
| <samp>Dialogue</samp>
! effect
+
| &#32;
 +
* <samp>dialogueToBeKilled</samp>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>SplitBySpace</samp>
+
| <samp>Farm</samp>
| Split space-separated arguments in a string. This automatically ignores extra spaces, so <samp>" x &nbsp;y "</samp> and <samp>"x y"</samp> are equivalent. For example:
+
| &#32;
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
* <samp>GetSpouseOutdoorAreaSpritesheetIndex()</samp>
string[] fields = ArgUtility.SplitBySpace("a b c");
  −
string secondField = fields[1]; // "b"
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>SplitBySpaceAndGet</samp>
+
| <samp>FarmAnimal</samp>
| Get the value at an index in a space-delimited string (if found), else return the default value. For example:
+
| &#32;
 
+
* <samp>homeLocation</samp>
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
  −
string thirdField = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceAndGet("a b c", 2); // "c"
  −
string invalidFieldA = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceAndGet("a b c", 5); // null
  −
string invalidFieldB = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceAndGet("a b c", 5, defaultValue: "boop"); // "boop"
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
 
  −
This is more efficient than <samp>SplitBySpace</samp> when you only need a single value, but it's slower if you need multiple values.
   
|-
 
|-
| <samp>SplitBySpaceQuoteAware</samp>
+
| <samp>Farmer</samp>
| Split space-separated arguments in a string, with support for using quotes to protect spaces within an argument. See <samp>SplitQuoteAware</samp> below for info on quote handling.
+
| &#32;
 
+
* <samp>barnUpgradeLevel</samp> and <samp>BarnUpgradeLevel</samp>
For example:

 +
* <samp>woodPieces</samp> and <samp>WoodPieces</samp>
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>SplitQuoteAware</samp>
+
| <samp>Game1</samp>
| Split delimited arguments in a string, with support for using quotes to protect delimiters within an argument.
+
| &#32;
 
+
* <samp>boardingBus</samp>
A quote in the text causes any delimiter to be ignored until the next quote, unless it's escaped like <code>\"</code>. Unescaped quotes are removed from the string. (Remember that backslashes need to be escaped in C# or JSON strings, like <code>"\\"</code> for a single backslash.)
+
* <samp>chanceToRainTomorrow</samp>
 
+
* <samp>checkForNewLevelPerks</samp>
For example:
+
* <samp>cloud</samp>
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
* <samp>coopDwellerBorn<samp>
ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware("A,B,C", ',');        // [ "A", "B", "C" ]
+
* <samp>cropsOfTheWeek</samp>
ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware("A,\"B,C\",D", ','); // [ "A", "B,C", "D" ]
+
* <samp>currentBarnTexture</samp>
ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware("A,\\\"B,C", ',');    // [ "A", "\"B", "C" ]
+
* <samp>currentBillboard</samp>
</syntaxhighlight>
+
* <samp>currentCoopTexture</samp>
 
+
* <samp>currentFloor</samp>
You can also set the optional arguments for more advanced cases. For example, [[#Game state queries|game state queries]] use this to split twice:
+
* <samp>currentHouseTexture</samp>
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
* <samp>currentWallpaper</samp>
string gameStateQuery = "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\", SEASON Spring";
+
* <samp>dealerCalicoJackTotal</samp>
 
+
* <samp>FarmerFloor</samp>
string[] queries = ArgUtility.SplitQuoteAware(gameStateQuery, ',', StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries, keepQuotesAndEscapes: true); // [ "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Here \"Junimo Hut\"", "SEASON Spring" ]
+

  −

|}
 
|}
   −
====Iteration====
+
And these were moved to a different namespace:
The new <samp>Utility.ForEach*</samp> methods let you check every thing of a type in the game world quickly and efficiently (with minimal allocations, boxing, etc). These are significantly faster than equivalent code using LINQ or <samp>yield</samp> methods.

+
| Removed. The collision logic has been significantly rewritten and uses a new set of methods (mainly <samp>isTilePassable</samp>, <samp>IsTileOccupiedBy</samp>, and <samp>CanItemBePlacedHere</samp>). Mods should ideally be updated to use the new methods.
   −
For example:
+
Here's a drop-in set of extension methods which re-add the older methods. This lets you temporarily fix code until you can update it properly, but depending on these isn't recommended since they won't be maintained in future versions.
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
{{collapse|expand for non-recommended code|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
string[] values = new[] { "0", "1", "2" };
+
public static class GameLocationExtensions
int index = Utility.WrapIndex(-1, values.Length); // 2
+
{
</syntaxhighlight>
+
    public static bool isTileOccupiedForPlacement(this GameLocation location, Vector2 tileLocation, Object toPlace = null)
|}
+
    {
 +
        return location.CanItemBePlacedHere(tileLocation, toPlace != null && toPlace.isPassable());
 +
    }
   −
===Static delegate builder===
+
    public static bool isTileOccupied(this GameLocation location, Vector2 tileLocation, string characterToIgnore = "", bool ignoreAllCharacters = false)
For C# mods, <samp>StaticDelegateBuilder</samp> is a specialized class which converts a method name into an optimized delegate which can be called by code. This is used by vanilla code to optimize methods referenced in assets like [[#Custom machines|<samp>Data/Machines</samp>]].
+
    {
 +
        CollisionMask mask = ignoreAllCharacters ? CollisionMask.All & ~CollisionMask.Characters & ~CollisionMask.Farmers : CollisionMask.All;
 +
        return location.IsTileOccupiedBy(tileLocation, mask);
 +
    }
   −
For example, given a static method like this:
+
    public static bool isTileOccupiedIgnoreFloors(this GameLocation location, Vector2 tileLocation, string characterToIgnore = "")
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
    {
public static bool OutputDeconstructor(Object machine, Item inputItem, bool probe, MachineItemOutput outputData, out int? overrideMinutesUntilReady) { ... }
+
        return location.IsTileOccupiedBy(tileLocation, CollisionMask.Buildings | CollisionMask.Furniture | CollisionMask.Objects | CollisionMask.Characters | CollisionMask.TerrainFeatures, ignorePassables: CollisionMask.Flooring);
</syntaxhighlight>
+
    }
   −
And a delegate which matches it:
+
    public static bool isTileLocationOpenIgnoreFrontLayers(this GameLocation location, Location tile)
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
    {
public delegate bool MachineOutputDelegate(Object machine, Item inputItem, bool probe, MachineItemOutput outputData, out int? overrideMinutesUntilReady);
+
        return location.map.RequireLayer("Buildings").Tiles[tile.X, tile.Y] == null && !location.isWaterTile(tile.X, tile.Y);
</syntaxhighlight>
+
    }
   −
You can create an optimized delegate and call it like this:
+
    public static bool isTileLocationTotallyClearAndPlaceable(this GameLocation location, int x, int y)
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
     {
if (StaticDelegateBuilder.TryCreateDelegate("StardewValley.Object.OutputDeconstructor", out MachineOutputDelegate method, out string error))
+
        return location.isTileLocationTotallyClearAndPlaceable(new Vector2(x, y));
     return method(this, inputItem, probe, outputData, out minutesUntilMorning);
+
     }
else
  −
     Game1.log.Warn($"Machine {ItemId} has invalid output method: {error}");
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
     −
The <samp>TryCreateDelegate</samp> method will cache created delegates, so calling it again will just return the same delegate instance.
+
    public static bool isTileLocationTotallyClearAndPlaceableIgnoreFloors(this GameLocation location, Vector2 v)
 +
    {
 +
        return location.isTileOnMap(v) && !location.isTileOccupiedIgnoreFloors(v) && location.isTilePassable(new Location((int)v.X, (int)v.Y), Game1.viewport) && location.isTilePlaceable(v);
 +
    }
   −
===Game logging changes===
+
    public static bool isTileLocationTotallyClearAndPlaceable(this GameLocation location, Vector2 v)
The game now writes debug output through an internal <samp>Game1.log</samp> wrapper, instead of using <samp>Console.WriteLine</samp> directly. For example:
+
    {
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
+
        Vector2 pixel = new Vector2((v.X * Game1.tileSize) + Game1.tileSize / 2, (v.Y * Game1.tileSize) + Game1.tileSize / 2);
// old code
+
        foreach (Furniture f in location.furniture)
Console.WriteLine("Error playing sound: " + ex);
+
        {
 +
            if (f.furniture_type != Furniture.rug && !f.isPassable() && f.GetBoundingBox().Contains((int)pixel.X, (int)pixel.Y) && !f.AllowPlacementOnThisTile((int)v.X, (int)v.Y))
 +
                return false;
 +
        }
   −
// new code
+
        return location.isTileOnMap(v) && !location.isTileOccupied(v) && location.isTilePassable(new Location((int)v.X, (int)v.Y), Game1.viewport) && location.isTilePlaceable(v);

+
NetFields
* For modded players, SMAPI can now...
+
    .AddField(textureName)
** distinguish between the game's debug/warn/error messages (so many warnings/errors that would previously appear as hidden <samp>TRACE</samp> messages will now be shown with the correct level);
+
    .AddField(spriteWidth)
** apply its formatting rules to exceptions logged by the game too;

    .AddField(spriteHeight);

If you're using this to calculate hay capacity, it's a bit more complicated in 1.6 since hay storage can be enabled for custom buildings and building construction can be enabled for any location.

===Check for obsolete code===
 +
Perform a full rebuild of your mod (in Visual Studio, click ''Build > Rebuild Solution''), then check the Error List pane for any warnings like "'''X' is obsolete''". Anything from the vanilla game code which is marked obsolete won't work anymore and is only kept for save migrations. Usually the warning will include an explanation of what you should use instead.
 +
 
 +
==Breaking changes for content packs==
 +
'''This section only describes how this update may break existing mods. See the ''what's new'' sections above for more info, including new functionality mods can use.'''
 +
 
 +
===Standardized ID fields===
 +
Stardew Valley 1.6 adds an <samp>Id</samp> field to these assets. For Content Patcher content packs, these replace the previous synthetic ID:
 +
 
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
|-
| <samp>frameOffset</samp>
+
! asset
| &#32;
+
! old key
* Simplified usage. You can now pass negative offsets directly (like <samp>debug frameOffset -5 -10</samp>) instead of using the <samp>s</samp> number prefix.
+
! new key
* Fixed command only taking the last digit in each number.

New usage:
+
For example, let's say you have a patch like this using Content Patcher:
: ''<samp>debug movie {{o|movie ID}} {{o|invite NPC name}}''
+
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
: ''<samp>debug movie current {{o|invite NPC name}}''
+
{
 +
    "Format": "</nowiki>{{Content Patcher version}}<nowiki>",
 +
    "Changes": [
 +
        {
 +
            "Action": "EditData",
 +
            "Target": "Data/TailorRecipes",
 +
            "Entries": {
 +
                "item_cloth|item_pufferchick": {
 +
                    "FirstItemTags": [ "item_cloth" ],
 +
                    "SecondItemTags": [ "item_pufferchick" ],
 +
                    "CraftedItemId": "(S)1260"
 +
                }
 +
            }
 +
        }
 +
    ]
 +
}</nowiki>|lang=javascript}}
 +
 
 +
When updating to Stardew Valley 1.6, replace the synthetic ID (<samp>item_cloth|item_pufferchick</samp>) with a real one:
 +
* To edit an existing entry, unpack the asset and get its new <samp>Id</samp> value.
 +
* To add a custom entry, use a [[Modding:Common data field types#Unique string ID|unique string ID]].
   −
The movie ID defaults to today's movie, and the NPC name can be omitted to watch the movie without an invitee. Specifying <samp>current</samp> as the movie uses the default value.
+
For example:
|-
+
{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki>
| <samp>panMode</samp>
+
{
| The command no longer overrides debug command handling while it's active. Instead you can now turn it back off by running <samp>debug panMode</samp> again, clear with <samp>debug panMode clear</samp>, or set a time with <samp>debug panMode {time}</samp>.

 +
 
 +
: ''See also: [[#String event IDs|string event IDs in what's new]].''
 +
 
 +
Events now have unique string IDs.
 +
 
 +
When creating an event:
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>New events should use a globally unique ID in the form <samp>Your.ModId_EventName</samp>. Existing events should be fine as-is, but it may be worth migrating them to avoid future conflicts.</li>
 +
<li>Every non-fork event '''must''' have a precondition in its key (even if it's empty). For example, change <code>"Your.ModId_EventName": "..."</code> to <code>"Your.ModId_EventName/": "..."</code>. This is needed for the game to distinguish between events and fork scripts.
 +
 
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
 +
"Example.ModId_EventName/": "...", // event: loaded automatically by the game
 +
"SomeFork": "..."                  // event fork: ignored unless it's loaded through an event script

 +
{{/doc status|a new doc page|done=false}}

+
===XNB impact===
<li>Reworked how debug commands log output. This fixes an issue where they don't always log to the right place (e.g. a command run through the chatbox might log to the console or vice-versa), and lets mods pass a custom logger to capture or redirect output.</li>
+
====Overview====
</ul>
+
This section provides a summary of the XNB files which changed in Stardew Valley 1.6. This doesn't include new files (since they won't impact existing mods), or text changes in non-English files.
   −
====Location logic====
+
[[Modding:Using XNB mods|XNB mods]] are disproportionately affected, since...
* The [[desert]] no longer assumes the player arrived by bus unless their previous location was the [[Bus Stop|bus stop]].
+
# they replace the entire file;
* The ticket price for the bus and Willy's boat can now be edited by C# mods via <samp>BusStop.TicketPrice</samp> and <samp>BoatTunnel.TicketPrice</samp> respectively.
+
# they're loaded through the MonoGame content pipeline which is less tolerant of format changes;
 +
# they don't benefit from the compatibility rewrites [[Modding:Content Patcher|Content Patcher]] provides for its content packs.
   −
====Menus & UI====
+
Content Patcher packs are typically unaffected (and Content Patcher will try to rewrite content packs automatically). However if a content pack replaces an entire asset instead of editing, it's more likely to be affected like an XNB mod.
* Rewrote calendar menu (<samp>Billboard</samp>) to simplify custom events & event types. C# mods can now edit <samp>billboard.calendarDayData</samp> or patch <samp>billboard.GetEventsForDay</samp> to add new events.
  −
* The <samp>SpriteText</samp> methods now accept arbitrary <samp>Color</samp> tints instead of a few predefined color IDs.
  −
* Added <samp>Game1.textShadowDarkerColor</samp> field for the colors previously hardcoded in <samp>Utility.drawTextWithShadow</samp>.
  −
* Added <samp>MoneyDial.ShouldShakeMainMoneyBox</samp> field to simplify custom dials.
  −
* Fixed an edge case where a custom language's fonts wouldn't be loaded when switching language.
     −
====[[Modding:Modder Guide/Game Fundamentals#Net fields|Net fields]]====
+
====Changed assets====
* Removed implicit conversion operators for most types (except <samp>NetBool</samp>, <samp>NetInt</samp>, and <samp>NetString</samp>).
+
Compatibility is broadly grouped into four categories:
* <samp>NetLocationRef</samp> now has a public <samp>LocationName</samp> and <samp>IsStructure</samp>, and its <samp>Update</samp> method allows forcing an update.
+
* "'''✘ broken'''": mods will remove new content or significant changes, or the mod's intended changes will no longer work. Effects may range from display bugs to crashes, depending how the game uses that specific content.
 +

====Quests====
+
{| class="wikitable"
* Quests now have string IDs, to simplify custom quest frameworks.
+
|-
* Added validation for quest data parsing.
+
!rowspan="2"| content asset
* In [[Modding:Special orders|<samp>Data/SpecialOrders</samp>]], the <samp>Duration</samp> and <samp>Repeatable</samp> fields are now strongly-typed and case-insensitive.

+
!colspan="2"| compatibility for pre-1.6 mods
 
+
|-
====Seasons====
+
! XNB mods
* Added a <samp>Season</samp> enum for strongly-typed, case-insensitive season checks (like <code>Game1.season == Season.Spring</code> instead of <code>Game1.currentSeason == "spring"</code>).
+
! Content Patcher packs
* Added <samp>Game1.season</samp>, <samp>Game1.GetSeasonForLocation</samp>, <samp>Game1.WorldDate.Season</samp>, and <samp>location.GetSeason()</samp> to get the season enum.
+
|-
* Added <samp>Utility.getSeasonKey</samp> to get the key form from a season enum.
+
| <samp>Buildings/houses</samp>
* Renamed some members for clarity (<samp>Game1.GetSeasonForLocation</samp> → <samp>GetSeasonKeyForLocation</samp>, <samp>location.GetSeasonForLocation</samp> → <samp>GetSeasonKey</samp>, <samp>WorldDate.Season</samp> → <samp>SeasonKey</samp>).
+
| &#32;
* Fixed <samp>location.GetSeasonKey()</samp> not applying the greenhouse logic.
+
* fixed missing pixels
 
+
| ✘ will remove changes
====Time====
+
| ✓ mostly unaffected
* For C# mods, the <samp>Game1.realMilliSecondsPerGame</samp> and <samp>Game1.realMilliSecondsPerGameTenMinutes</samp> fields are no longer marked <samp>const</samp>, and the <samp>GameLocation.getExtraMillisecondsPerInGameMinuteForThisLocation()</samp> method has been replaced with a settable <samp>ExtraMillisecondsPerInGameMinute</samp> property. That lets you change the time rate used by the vanilla game code, but you should be careful doing this since it may cause unintended effects.
+

+
| <samp>Characters/Dialogue/Abigail</samp><br /><samp>Characters/Dialogue/Alex</samp>
====Other====
+
| &#32;
* Error stack traces on Linux/macOS now have line numbers.
+
* added [[#Dialogue changes|flower dance dialogue]]
* All space-delimited fields now ignore extra spaces instead of crashing. This affects map/tile properties, data assets, event commands, game state queries, etc.
+
* fixed typos
* All players and NPCs now have <samp>Tile</samp> & <samp>TilePoint</samp> properties (their cached tile position) and a <samp>StandingPixel</samp> property (the cached pixel coordinate at the center of their bounding box). These [[#Other breaking API changes|replace various deleted methods]].
+
| '''✘ broken'''
* All terrain features now have <samp>Tile</samp> and <samp>Location</samp> properties, and their methods no longer have location/tile parameters in most cases.
+
| ✓ mostly unaffected
* All [[Modding:Modder Guide/Game Fundamentals#Net fields|net fields]] now have <samp>Name</samp> and <samp>Owner</samp> fields, which are used to show informative error messages when there's a sync issue and validate common mistakes (e.g. a net field not added to the <samp>NetFields</samp> collection).
+
|-
* Added C# code docs in many places.
+
| <samp>Characters/Dialogue/Caroline</samp><br /><samp>Characters/Dialogue/Demetrius</samp>
* Added <samp>Id</samp> fields to simplify content pack edits in fish pond, movie concession, random bundle, and tailoring recipe data.
+
| &#32;
* Added <samp>Game1.Multiplayer</samp> to get the game's low-level handler. (Most code should still use [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Multiplayer|SMAPI's multiplayer API]] though.)
+
* fixed typos
* Added <samp>Game1.versionBuildNumber</samp> with the build number (like <samp>26039</samp>).
+
| ✘ will remove changes
* Added field-changed events to <samp>NetPosition</samp>.
+
| ✓ mostly unaffected
* Added <samp>LocalizedContentManager.CurrentLanguageString</samp>, which caches the language code like <samp>pt-BR</samp>).
+
|-
* The game now uses <samp>[XmlInclude]</samp> on its types more consistently. That means the default save serializer can handle more types (e.g. all monsters), and it's easier to create custom serializers.
+
| <samp>Characters/Dialogue/Elliott</samp>
* Refactored many parts of the code to make it more moddable for C# mods. This includes marking all classes public, changing <samp>private</samp> members to <samp>protected</samp> or <samp>public</samp>, marking members <samp>virtual</samp>, rewriting or splitting code so it's easier to extend, etc.
+
| &#32;
* Fixed many cases where the game used <samp>Game1.player</samp> instead of the provided player.
+
* added [[#Dialogue changes|flower dance dialogue]]

===Item ID changes===
+
| ✓ mostly unaffected
: ''See also: [[#Custom items|custom items in what's new]].''
  −
 
  −
The [[#Custom items|main <samp>Item</samp> properties have changed]]. To migrate existing code:
  −
<ul>
  −
<li>Don't use <samp>ParentSheetIndex</samp> to compare items. For example, <samp>item.ParentSheetIndex == 0</samp> will match both [[weeds]] and any custom item whose sprite is the first one in its custom spritesheet. You should compare items using [[#Custom items|their new <samp>ItemId</samp> and <samp>QualifiedItemId</samp> properties]] instead. For example, here's how to migrate various common forms:

+
| &#32;
|}</li>
+
* added [[#Dialogue changes|dumpster dive dialogue]]
<li>Don't assume item sprites are in the vanilla spritesheets. For example, instead of rendering <samp>Game1.objectSpriteSheet</samp> for an object, call <code>ItemRegistry.GetMetadata(item.QualifiedItemId).GetTexture()</code> to get its texture.</li>
+
* fixed typos
<li>Creating items works just like before, except that you now specify the item's <samp>ItemId</samp> (''not'' <samp>QualifiedItemId</samp>) instead of its <samp>ParentSheetIndex</samp>. This is the same value for vanilla items. For example:
+
| '''✘ broken'''
 
+
| ✓ mostly unaffected
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
  −
new Object("634", 1);                      // vanilla item
  −
new Object("Example.ModId_Watermelon", 1); // custom item
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
 
  −
You can also use the new <samp>ItemRegistry</samp> API to construct items from their <samp>QualifiedItemId</samp>:
  −
 
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
  −
Item item = ItemRegistry.Create("(B)505"); // Rubber Boots
  −
</syntaxhighlight></li>
  −
</ul>
  −
 
  −
===Other ID changes===
  −
Many other things in the game now have unique string IDs too (including [[#Buff overhaul|buffs]], [[#String event IDs|events]], and fruit trees). To migrate existing code:
  −
 
  −
* When referencing numeric IDs, you usually just need to convert them into a string (like <code>Game1.player.hasBuff("1590166")</code> or <code>Game1.player.eventsSeen.Contains("1590166")</code>).
  −
* When creating buffs, see [[#Buff overhaul|buff overhaul]] for how to create buffs now.
  −
 
  −
===Building and animal changes===
  −
: ''See also: [[#Build anywhere|build anywhere in what's new]].''
  −
 
  −
* Since all locations now allow buildings and animals, mod code which handles <samp>BuildableGameLocation</samp> and <samp>IAnimalLocation</samp> won't detect all buildable locations. You can replace them with <samp>location.IsBuildableLocation()</samp> (or just access <samp>location.buildings</samp> directly) and <samp>location.animals.Any()</samp> instead. Mods should no longer have any reference at all to <samp>BuildableGameLocation</samp> and <samp>IAnimalLocation</samp>.
  −
* Since buildings can be built anywhere, you can no longer assume a building is on the farm. You can check the new <samp>building.buildingLocation</samp> field instead.
  −
* You should review direct references to the farm (like <code>Game1.getFarm()</code> or <code>Game1.getLocationFromName("Farm")</code>) to see if it needs to be rewritten to allow other locations.
  −
* <code>Utility.numSilos()</code> should no longer be used to calculate available hay, since it doesn't account for custom buildings with hay storage. Use <code>Game1.getFarm().GetHayCapacity()</code> instead.
  −
* The <samp>Cat</samp> and <samp>Dog</samp> classes are now unused; all pets are now <samp>Pet</samp> directly.

Events now have unique string IDs.
  −
 
  −
When creating an event:
  −
<ul>
  −
<li>New events should use a globally unique ID in the form <samp>Your.ModId_EventName</samp>. Existing events should be fine as-is, but it may be worth migrating them to avoid future conflicts.</li>
  −
<li>Every non-fork event '''must''' have a precondition in its key (even if it's empty). For example, change <code>"Your.ModId_EventName": "..."</code> to <code>"Your.ModId_EventName/": "..."</code>. This is needed for the game to distinguish between events and fork scripts.
  −
 
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="js">
  −
"Example.ModId_EventName/": "...", // event: loaded automatically by the game
  −
"SomeFork": "..."                  // event fork: ignored unless it's loaded through an event script
  −
</syntaxhighlight></li>
  −
</ul>

  −
===Monster eradication goal flag changes===
  −
: ''See also: [[#Custom monster eradication goals|Custom monster eradication goals]].''
  −
 
  −
The game now tracks [[Adventurer's Guild]] monster eradication goal completion by the goal ID, instead of the produced item. You'll need to replace these mail flags if you check them:

===XNB impact===
  −
Here's a summary of the XNB files which changed in Stardew Valley 1.6. This doesn't include new files (since they won't impact existing mods), or changes in non-English files.
  −
 
  −
Shorthand:
  −
* 'broken' means removing new content or potentially important changes, or potentially causing significant display bugs. This is a broad category — the game may work fine without it or crash, depending how it uses that specific content.
  −
* 'mostly unaffected' means mods will only be affected if they edit specific entries or fields.
  −
* Blank means no expected impact for the vast majority of mods.
  −
 
  −
XNB mods are disproportionately affected since (a) they replace the entire file and (b) they're loaded through the MonoGame content pipeline which is less tolerant of format changes.

''Moved to [[Version History#1.6]].''
 
  −
This is a draft for the [[Version History]] section when 1.6 is released. Feel free to edit or suggest anything that was missed.
  −
 
  −
<blockquote>
  −
<big>'''1.6.0'''</big><br />
  −
Stardew Valley 1.6.0 was released to the Steam beta branch on XX XX 20XX, and released on XX XXXX 20XX.
  −
 
  −
; New features
  −
:* The world map now shows your actual position within the world in real-time (instead of showing you at a fixed point for each location). In multiplayer, you'll see other players' position in real-time too. This currently doesn't apply in [[Cindersap Forest]] or [[Pelican Town]], since their drawn map is too different from the real location.
  −
:* The farmhouse and pet bowl can now be moved through Robin's menu.
  −
:* The [[Farm Computer|farm computer]] can now be used anywhere to see a summary of that location, instead of only the farm.
  −
:* The [[Mini-Jukebox|mini-jukebox]] can now be used on the [[Ginger Island]] farm.
  −
 
  −
; Balance changes
  −
:* You can no longer lose the Golden Scythe, Infinity weapons, or tools when dying.
  −
:* Added [[wikipedia:Coyote time|grace jumps]] in Junimo Kart: when you run off the track, you can still jump for a short time to recover.
  −
:* Increased the [[Forge#Enchantments|shaving enchantment]]'s effect on [[Crops#Giant Crops|giant crops]].<br /><small>Each giant crop now has a 60% chance of dropping an extra six crops while the shaving enchantment is equipped, spread across the number of hits needed to break it. For example, a base axe which breaks the giant crop in three hits gets three 20% chances of dropping 2 crops.</small>
  −
:* The [[The Cave|mushroom cave]] now provides mushrooms every second day. It was unintentionally changed to daily in Stardew Valley 1.5.
  −
:* Randomization no longer produces simple repeating patterns in many cases (e.g. clay farming, mushroom level prediction, crab pot fish offset, etc).<br /><small>You can enable "Use Legacy Randomization" in the [[Options|advanced save options]] to use the old randomization, though some specific patterns may still change due to the underlying changes. That option is mainly intended for speedrunners; most players should keep it disabled for the intended experience.</small>
  −
 
  −
; Quality of life changes
  −
:* Shops now have a slight delay before you can buy/sell items, to help avoid double-clicks doing it accidentally.
  −
:* Planting [[Cactus Seeds|cactus seeds]] on the farm now fails with a message, instead of the seeds dying overnight.
  −
:* [[Marnie's Ranch|Marnie's animal menu]] now shows prices in the tooltip, in case the tooltip covers the price display.
  −
:* Holding a [[Tea Sapling|tea sapling]] or [[Crops|seed]] over a [[Garden Pot|garden pot]] now shows the green/red placement tile.
  −
:* The museum reward menu now prevents picking up a reward that won't fit in your inventory.
  −
:* The museum reward menu now lets you exit while holding a reward. It'll be added to your inventory if possible, otherwise it'll drop at your feet.
  −
:* If an item menu exits while you're holding an item, the item is now always retrieved. (Previously only some item menus like chests would do it.)
  −
:* If a default farm building (like the greenhouse) is somehow removed, it'll now be rebuilt next time you load the save.
  −
:* You can no longer pick up rugs if there's something on it.
  −
:* Positional sounds now fade with distance when off-screen, instead of cutting off abruptly.
  −
:* Made more sounds positional (mainly player and tool sounds).
  −
:* Deleting a save on PC is now much faster.
  −
:* Significantly reduced save loading time when there are many custom locations.
  −
:* Performance improvements.
  −
 
  −
; Other changes
  −
:* Raised multiplayer limit to 8 players (on desktop only).
  −
:* Gender-specific clothing variants can now be worn by any gender.
  −
:* After reaching six hearts with some NPCs, they won't visit their rival love interest anymore. This affects [[Alex]] visiting [[Haley]], [[Elliott]] visiting [[Leah]], and Haley visiting Alex.
  −
:* The about page now shows the build number.
  −
:* The about page no longer hides the version if a tip message is shown.
  −
:* The [[Ginger Island#Gem Birds|Ginger Island shrine]] item pedestals are now normal items. Modded players can spawn them to display items decoratively (though they're not obtainable in vanilla currently).

  −
; Fixes for NPC dialogue
  −
:* Many NPCs have their own dialogue for accepting a movie invitation, but only in English. This now works in other languages too.
  −
