📋 About This Mod
Dynamic Game Assets lets content packs add custom content to the game. It currently supports objects (including bigcraftables), crops (including giant crops), equipment (boots + clothing + hats + weapons), fences, furniture, fruit trees, and recipes (crafting + forge + machine + tailoring). This is meant to eventually replace Json Assets.

Common questions
What's the benefit compared to Json Assets?
Well, no ID shuffles from installing a new DGA pack, for one.
Besides that, a lot. It supports everything JA does (minus rings that do absolutely nothing) and a little more. It has built-in animation support (for everything), in a way that is more optimized than using Content Patcher Animations. You can change how an object works day-to-day using Content Patcher conditions. Overwriting a content pack won't result in lingering items from old folders. Probably more, I don't have a list.
Can I use this alongside Json Assets?
Yes, Dynamic Game Assets was designed in a way that allows it to co-exist with JA, since the transition period to getting everything using this might be a while.
() Shirts may act up with Json Assets installed. They might render funny, they might crash you from running out of GPU memory. I have no idea why. Try not to use DGA shirts if you have JA installed.
Will this work in multiplayer and split-screen?
It should definitely work for multiplayer. Unsure about split-screen; I might have missed something. Either way, let me know if you encounter any problems.
Will this work on Android?
No, this is for Stardew Valley 1. 5. 4 or later, and Android doesn't have that update yet.
Will you add ___?
Probably not, although there are a few things still to do (listed in the top of Mod.cs).
