📋 About This Mod
See live info about whatever's under your cursor when you press F1. Learn a villager's favourite gifts, when a crop will be ready to harvest, how long a fence will last, why your farm animals are unhappy, and more (see showcase). Works on things in the world, your inventory, the calendar, game menus, shops, and more.
For non-English players, translations are included in the base mod. Contributions are welcome!

[
]Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods.[]Run the game using SMAPI.
How to use
Just press F1 to view info about something under your cursor, or press left shift + F1 to search. (On laptops or macOS, you may need to press FN + F1 instead. You can also set it to a different button using Generic Mod Config Menu.)
If there's no cursor (e.g. when playing with a controller or on mobile), the most relevant subject is shown instead. That may be something in front of the player, the player on the skills menu, the NPC on their profile page, etc.
See the showcase page for many examples and explanations of what the mod does. You can optionally customise the mod settings (including button mappings and optional data mining fields).

⚠️ Cons
