📋 About This Mod

Intro

I made this mod for two main reasons: to help me complete the community center in the first year and to reduce the amount of times I had to go look something up on the wiki.

What does it do?

The basic idea of the mod is that it compares what the player has to what the player could have in the current season and then shows you what you are missing.

When the item you are missing is a fish, hover over the text "Info" to get the information on the fish (how/where/when to catch the fish). When the item is a recipe/cooked item, hover over the text "Info" to get the information on the recipe (health restored, energy restore, buffs, buff duration, ingredients). If an ingredient has a ~ in front of it, then you are missing that ingredient. The values it displays for the energy/health are what the game actually gives you (it can be different than what would be shown in the tool tip). If you're like me, I like to have at least 5 of every item that I can get so I never run out. The mod can be configured to ensure that you have X amount of every item (except for the items you can only have 1 of). In addition you can specify whether you want to know about the amount of common quality items or whatever the highest quality is for that item.

NOTE: it checks to see if there is enough time to grow crops or if you have the greenhouse unlocked before displaying it (it won't show you crops that you can't finish growing before the season ends).

It can also be configured to show only the fish that are available that day or all the fish for that season.

The default button to bring up the menu is F2.

The Configuration Options

"button" : What button is pressed to bring up the menu - default is F2

"ShowItemsFromLockedPlaces" : Whether or not you want items that are from locked places like the secret woods or desert to be shown regardless of whether not you have unlocked the area - default is true

"ShowAllFishFromCurrentSeason" : Whether or not you want to see fish all the fish for the season regardless of whether or not you can actually catch it that day -

default is false

"AlwaysShowAllFish" : For the All fish Tab - whether or not to show all fish regardless of how many you have (e.g you have 6 pike and the "CommonAmount" config option is set to 5 if "AlwaysShowAllFish" is false then it won't show you a pike, if its true then it will) - default is false

"ShowAllRecipes" : Whether or not to show all recipes regardless of whether or not you actually know the recipe - default is false

"AlwaysShowAllRecipes" : Whether or not to show all recipes regardless of how many you have (like AlwaysShowAllFish) - default is false

"CommonAmount

  • Huge community trust (4,248 endorsements) — this is a go-to for Stardew completionists.
  • Saves you from alt-tabbing to the wiki — it tells you exactly what's missing and how to catch that fish.
  • Still relevant for 1.5 players, and the UI integration is seamless.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated May 2023 — might not be updated for the latest Stardew 1.6 content, so some new items could be missed.
  • Only covers day/season-specific items and community center — doesn't track other collections like artifacts or minerals.
