Like a fish in water 🦆💦
✨ Module function
This mod completely changes the swimming behavior of ducks in the game! Now your ducks will really enjoy swimming in the water~
**Major improvements:**
- 🦆 Ducks will automatically find water to swim after being fed and petted
- 💕 The duck will be rewarded with **10 Friendship Points** when swimming for the first time.
- 🗺️ Significantly increased the number of tiles that ducks can access to water (standard farm increased from 4 to 22)
- 🎯 Intelligent path finding system to avoid multiple ducks competing for the same water area
🎮 How it works
Ducks will start looking for water every day when they meet the following conditions:
- ✅ Haven’t swam today yet
- ✅Already eaten food
- ✅ Have been stroked (automatic strokes also count!)
The module will check the accessible water tiles within **20 blocks** around the duck, and then guide the duck to the nearest accessible water.

Let your ducks really enjoy themselves like a fish in water! Watching them play in the water can also enhance your friendship. This is what farm life should be like ~
Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- 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.
