Making a Stardew Valley Mod from Scratch

Learn how to make a Stardew Valley mod completely from scratch. This video contains everything from project setup until final build.
While fixing my DeepWoods mod I encountered a bug that allowed picking up rocks, twigs, and weeds. After figuring out the cause of the bug, a user in the comments suggested making a mod that adds the bug as a feature. And here we are.

I love that you make these videos to let us know how the mods are going and explain what you are doing. I know nothing about coding and really appreciate your eye for detail and passion for your work

[@solidaritymn]

Thanks for the video! I've thought about learning C# so I can try my hand at game mods but never got around to figuring out at a basic level how it works -- now I don't have that excuse anymore!
When you mentioned decompiling the game code -- do you not get the comments? I didn't see any when you were showing the game code and that would make it a lot harder to figure stuff out!

Ich würde auf Variante 1 tippen. :-) super das du das alles so im detail erklärst.

[@EternalGamingNet]

Very neat mod idea!

4. I only ever hear it as "smappy," like slap-pea but with an m instead of an l

[@freshpickings]

I have always heard people pronounce SMAPI as smappy (rhymes with snappy)

[@unhott1893]

I second this, but ultimately it's however is easiest for you to pronounce fast in a way that is understandable.

[@MaxMakesMods]

oh i love that one!

[@unhott1893]

Thank you Max for your mod videos. I've learned a great deal - particularly that visual studio will decompile the game code. I was struggling for a while and didn't know that going to definition will just decompile for you.
Question - Won't this pickup handler make objects that you can't normally place as placable, such as a prize ticket?

[@MaxMakesMods]

Oh it might as well. I didn't really test my code thoroughly :D
