How to use (for mod authors)
You add shops by creating a Shop Tile Framework content pack, whose shops.json file contains the shop data to add.
See the technical documentation for more info.
Some features include:
-
[]Edit both vanilla and custom shops.
[
]Specify a shop currency (e.g. money, casino coins, festival score, or trade items). You can sell pants that cost 5 parsnips and 100 gold if you want![]Make shops that sell animals, optionally with a stock limit! You can also optionally remove animals from Marnie's shop, so they're exclusively available at your custom shop.
[]Randomized stock and conditions, which let you change the shop stock each day. You can fully control when items are available, rotate items, check conditions, etc.
[]Customizable shop opening hours.
[]Support for items from Json Assets. You can safely add optional items/animals to your shop without enforcing a hard dependency on Json Assets; if that mod isn't installed, Shop Tile Framework will just skip those items. You can optionally add an entire Json Asset pack to a shop instead of individual items, for easy maintenance.
[]Json Assets items can be added directly to Shop Tile Framework shops from the Json Assets content pack.
[]Open vanilla shops with tile properties (including special shops like Marnie's animals, Robin's buildings, and Clint's geodes).
