===Can I make a mod ''without SMAPI''?===
===Can I make a mod ''without SMAPI''?===
Yep. Many SMAPI mods support 'content packs', which let you provide JSON text files, images, etc which they use. For example, you can use [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915 Content Patcher] to edit the game's images and data with zero programming needed. The rest of this guide is about creating a new SMAPI mod; for content packs, see the documentation for the mod that'll read it.
