📋 About This Mod
Description:
Expanded Casks is a companion mod to TheFox536's Upgraded Kegs and Upgraded Jars mods that provides similar capacity containers for aging products.
Clint sells the recipes for the casks, as well as the casks themselves. Cost for the casks are dependent on the difficulty - by default, the recipes are 150k for the Copper, 375k for the Iron, 750k for the Gold, and 1500k for the Iridium. The casks themselves are more reasonable at 5500/13750/27500/55000 gold each.
Mod versions:
Note that all configs will allow you to age all the stock products, along with Roe, Caviar, Pickles, Jelly, and Juice.
Configs
Default Edition:
Costs are the equivalent wood/hardwood to build the equivalent number of casks, plus 0. 5 bars per capacity. So the copper cask will require 200 wood, 10 hardwood, and 5 copper bars to build. The iridium cask will cost 2000 wood, 100 hardwood, and 50 iridium bars (!) to create.
Note that this is the ONLY configuration that comes packed up 100% ready to play. The others, you'll need to mix and match.
Other Difficulties:
Easy: Half the resources of the normal config, no bars required.
Normal No Bars: Exactly what it says on the tin. This is technically the most stock-alike of the options, since the cost of a tiered cask is exactly the same as the number of casks it replaces.
Normal: Same as default difficulty.
Hard: Requires 125% more resources over Normal.
Excessive: Requires 200% more resources over normal.
Graphics Packs
Stock Art:
Edits of the existing cask graphics in game, with a band representing the tier of the cask. Somewhat more subtle than the existing keg mods. This is the art included for the default package.
Taiyokun's Art:
Taiyokun made some custom casks for this mod! This is a second option for art.
Vivid Art:
A hue shift of the stock casks, to better match the aesthetic of the TheFox536 kegs/jars.
Install Instructions:
For the default edition:
-
[]Install the dependencies - JSON Assets, Producer Framework Mod, and of course, SMAPI.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 231 endorsements and 10k+ downloads.
- Huge capacity boost—up to 100 items per cask saves tons of space and time.
- Simple concept that fits perfectly into the game's crafting loop.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game version.
- Only affects casks; if you're looking for other crafting overhauls, this won't help.
For Stardew Valley players who mass-produce wine, beer, or juice and are tired of managing dozens of casks. Also great for completionists who want to optimize their farm's production. Skip if you prefer vanilla gameplay or don't do heavy processing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using mod manager like SMAPI, just drop the mod folder into your Mods directory.
- Check if you need the PFM (Producer Framework Mod) as a dependency—many crafting mods require it.
- Test with a single cask first to ensure it works with your current game version.
