For my fellow lazy farmers without sprinklers
Right-clicking on a crop will start up the WaterBot, which will go through and water your crops 1 by 1.
This mod is intended to make the process of watering your plants less tedious, without removing the loss of time and energy usually required in vanilla Stardew.
Don't worry, the bot will automatically fill up the Watering Can if needed.
Say no more, I want to Install
1. Install the latest version of SMAPI.
2. Download this mod and unzip it into Stardew Valley/Mods
3. Run the game using SMAPI.
Good morning!
Time to water your crops.
Pull out your Watering Can, and right-click on any of your beautiful crops as if you were watering them.
By a miracle of love for your budding crops, you're carried away into watering the rest of them without pushing so much as a button.
You automatically get more water to refill your watering can from instinct, still in a lucid state.
Snap out of it early by pressing any button.
Don't worry, you won't knock yourself out from watering, you will stop before you run out of stamina
How to Use (Serious)
Start the Bot:
- Right-click a crop with the Watering Can

The bot will automatically:
- Refill water at the nearest source when it runs out.
- Water all crops that need it.
The bot will stop if:

How it Works
1. Trigger
To begin the mod listens for whenever the player right-clicks. If the player is clicking a crop with their watering can, the bot starts.
2. Loading the Player's Farm
The bot first looks through the farm map data, going tile by tile and marking the following traits:
Waterable: Does the tile need to be watered?
Block: Does the tile allow the player to walk on top of it?
Water: Can the player refill the Watering Can here?
All the tiles are placed in a 2D array. Any
Water Bot lets Stardew Valley farmers right-click with a watering can to automatically water crops one by one, matching the time and energy cost of manual watering. It's a quality-of-life mod for players who want convenience without cheating, with 2,217 endorsements and recent updates.
