Display more useful weapon attributes in the weapon tooltip, covering the original tooltip to display the new properties.

Better Weapon Stats

🎯 **Make weapon attributes clear at a glance! **

✨ Features

  • **Intuitive attribute display**: Convert originally obscure weapon attributes into easy-to-understand values
  • **Full Damage Calculation**: Automatically calculates average damage per hit and damage per second (DPS)
  • **Knockback Display**: Clearly display the knockback effect of the weapon instead of a vague "weight" value
  • **Multiplayer Compatibility**: Both the host and the client can be used independently without affecting other players

🔧 Specific improvements

This mod completely changes the confusing way weapon attributes are displayed in the original game:

  • **Crit Chance**: Displayed as a percentage, allowing you to clearly know the actual trigger probability
  • **Crit Power**: Displayed as a damage multiplier to intuitively understand the damage bonus during a critical hit.
  • **Attack Speed**: Converted to attacks per second, making it easier to compare the attack speed of different weapons
  • **Average Damage**: Taking into account buffs, critical hits, professions and enchantments
  • **DPS Calculation**: Combines average damage and attack speed to provide the most practical damage indicator

🎮 Instructions for use

💡 **Tips**: If the weapon has enchantments that affect base attributes, you need to equip the weapon to the toolbar to see the updated attributes.

🛡️ Compatibility Notes

  • ✅ **Fully compatible with multiplayer mode**: Only players who have installed this mod can see additional weapon attributes
  • ✅ **Support Mod Weapons**: In theory, all mod weapons that do not change the weapon mechanism are supported
  • ⚠️ **Update Note**: Due to the reuse of a large amount of basic game code, game updates may cause the module to become invalid, but will not damage weapons or save files.

🎯 Game experience

After the transformation of this module, you will find:

  • The originally mysterious weapon properties have become clear
  • Easier to make smart weapon choices
  • Have a deeper understanding of the combat system
  • Although sword weapons usually have the highest DPS, the knockback effect and difficulty of operation need to be considered when using them.

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.
