Vanilla Tweaks is a massive texture pack, reimagining Stardew Valley's artwork into my funky and controversial artstyle. This collection is a gathering of my view and interpretation of your known items and some small features, giving them brand new cool visuals to enhance your gameplay, and add diversity to your walkthroughs!

The changes go from small to big overhauls, and most of the designs presented by me reuse the original color palettes offered by the items itself. That way, the art can still fell vanilla, but with touchups. With the mod being fully configurable, you can edit it the way you prefer to use with any other retexture mods created by the community and not feel like you need to choose over one or another.

Vanilla Tweaks - Caves Edition features Artifacts, Minerals, Gems, Geodes, Mining Nodes, Rocks and Resource sprites. For other packs, check the links at the bottom of the page!

Inside the mines, you'll find that most of the rocks and ore nodes there got redesigned, making your mining routine more enchanted. This was due to my desire to give the rocks we use to mine a appealing look. Perhaps that way you can find your cave adventures more fun. Still, not all of them are included in this batch, but I hope that the large amount included this time are enough to satisfy yourself!

  • Redesigned rocks and nodes are: all default mine rocks, Geode Nodes, Copper Ore Node, Iron Ore Node, Gold Ore Node, Iridium Ore Node, Radioative Ore Node, Coal Nodes, Emerald Node, Diamond Node, Ruby Node, Amethyst Node, Topaz Node, Aquamarine Node, Jade Node, Gem Node, Mystic Stone, Cinder Shard Nodes and Mussel Node.

    Matching Crab Monsters

    If you thought you could put your hands on Rock Crabs because they could be somewhat mismatching the mod, I got you!

    Rock Crabs wear new hard shells to protect them from being caught having fun underground. No weirdos peeking, let the girls have fun!!

    Less-brightful items

    For all lovers of less vibrant
