Yet Another Harvest With Scythe Mod

🌾 Module function

This mod allows you to harvest **all crops** and **gather items** using a scythe! ✨ You can still pick plants manually without pressing the toggle button (although this feature can be disabled in `config.json`).

Unlike other 'Scythe Harvest' mods, this patch will not affect your save games. This means you can revert to the original game behavior at any time by simply removing the mod.

⚙️ Configuration Settings

*Note: Run Stardew Valley once with this mod enabled to generate the `config.json` file. *

  • `HarvestWithSword`: Whether a sword can be used instead of a scythe. Default = false
  • `HarvestAllForage`: Whether the scythe can also be used for gathering items on non-cultivated land. default = true
  • `PluckingScythe`: Whether plants can still be picked when equipped with a scythe. Optional values: `NEVER`, `INVALID` (only when the sickle cannot be harvested), `ALWAYS`

Valid values ​​for the following settings:

  • `NONE`: completely unable to harvest the crop
  • `HAND`: only manually picked
  • `IRID`: vanilla behavior
  • `GOLD`: Can be harvested with golden sickle
  • `BOTH`: Can be harvested by hand or by sickle
  • `SCYTHE`: Can only be harvested with any scythe

Specific configuration items:

  • `PluckableCrops`: Harvesting method for crops that normally can only be harvested manually. Default = BOTH
  • `ScythableCrops`: A method of harvesting crops that normally can only be harvested with a scythe. Default = SCYTHE
  • `Flowers`: How flowers are harvested. Default = BOTH
  • `Forage`: The harvesting method of collected items. Default = BOTH

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
