Added the Hourglass item, which costs 1 million gold coins and can be purchased from the Travel Wagon. The Sands of Time are obtained by crushing Iridium Ore, which allows you to temporarily stop or advance/reverse time. Legal time control!

Hourglass Artifact

⏰ **Control time and dominate Stardew Valley! **

Have you ever wished you had more hours in the day? Need to water those last few crops before passing out? Want to send gifts to the whole town, only to find that they have fallen asleep?

Want to easily beat the time limit without cheating?

Then the hourglass artifact is tailor-made for you!

🌟 How to get it

  • **Go to travel van**
  • **Purchase hourglass for 1 million gold coins**
  • **Put any amount of iridium ore into the hourglass to get the corresponding amount of sand of time** (these sands are stored in the hourglass and do not take up backpack space)
  • **Activate the hourglass and select the desired effect**. If you have enough sand, you can control time however you want!

⚡ Powerful functions

**Extract the Sands of Time**

  • Any amount of Iridium Ore can be placed into the hourglass
  • Each iridium ore can be converted into 1 sand of time
  • Check the amount of sand stored in the hourglass at any time

**Time Stop** 💫

  • Consume 100 sands of time to suspend real time for 5 minutes
  • Activate the hourglass at any time to view the remaining stopping time

-Restore the flow of time at any time without additional consumption

**Time Back** 🔄

  • Consume 10 Sands of Time to set time back by 1 hour
  • Never miss a holiday or date again!

**Time Forward** ⏩

  • Consume 10 sands of time to advance time by 1 hour
  • No need to wait long for important events!

⚠️ Time Travel Notes

  • **When Time Stops**: Villagers stop moving, but can still talk and shop
  • **When time advances**: NPC will start executing a new schedule
  • **When time goes back**: NPC schedule will not be restored
🐛 **Tips**: Frequent use of the time forward or rewind function may cause minor bugs, but just take a nap in the game and it will return to normal!

🎯 Design Concept

This module continues the design concept of "legal wishing", allowing you to gain almost divine power without cheating at all!

  • **High Cost**: The price of 1 million gold coins ensures that it can only be obtained in the late game
  • **Continuous consumption**: It is necessary to continuously invest precious iridium ore to maintain functions.
  • **Balanced Design**: Powerful time stopping function corresponds to high sand consumption

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.
