📋 About This Mod
Winter Grass
Works with SDV 1. 5 - download version 2. 0. 3!
This mod makes it so that grass will survive through winter. By default, it disables grass growth in winter to be more balanced but you can change that by modifying the config.json file. Note that the particles seen from cutting grass are still green - I couldn't change that.
If you're updating from before version 2. 0. 0:
- []Make sure you don't overwrite the Saved Grass folder (it is inside of the mod folder)! It holds your grass in winter and if you delete it your grass will go away! The mod will automatically move the grass into your save file and remove the folder on its own.
-
[]The Saved Grass folder no longer exists (grass is now saved in the save file) so you don't need to worry about that!
This mod requires SMAPI (at least v3. 8) by Pathoschild. To install the mod, place the WinterGrass folder in your Stardew Valley/Mods folder.
If you get a SMAPI error saying that it could not be installed because of a missing mod dependency, please update your SMAPI version to at least v2. 9.
For multiplayer, the hosting player must have the mod installed for the mod to work, but players who join can also have it installed without any problems. (in other words, if only players who join have it installed in MP, it won't work)
