✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval with 3,768 endorsements and over 110k downloads
- Saves your fingers from repetitive clicking during geode breaking sessions
- Works with controllers, not just mouse, so you can play your way
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2019 — may not be compatible with the latest Stardew Valley versions
- Only affects geode breaking, so if you want other quality-of-life improvements, this won't cover them
For Stardew Valley players who spend a lot of time cracking geodes and want to save their mouse button from wear and tear. If you're a completionist or a miner who hoards geodes, this is a must-have. Skip if you rarely break geodes or prefer to click manually.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SMAPI installed, as most Stardew Valley mods require it to run.
- If you use Fast Animations, install that mod first and then this one to ensure compatibility.
- Test the mod in a save with a few geodes to get used to the hold-to-break mechanic before a big session.
