🎨Module introduction

This mod replaces the original buff sprites to make all icons more visually unified. All buff icons are now **square** with **solid borders**!

🎯 **Main Features:**

  • Several icons use new art materials from the updated version of the game
  • Some icons come from achievement art or other sprites
  • Provides an optional version with sprites that erase the corners, making the icons look closer to the original "rounded" style

💡 **Warm reminder:**

  • There are still a few icons that maintain the original "ugly" design (the author admits that creativity is limited)
  • More designs are likely to be improved in the future, it is recommended to **track this mod** for updates!

🔧 Compatibility Notes

**Special instructions for luck icon:**

  • "Luck" icon inspired by Spacecore Luck Skill
  • Art design using MoonSlime
  • Original art from "Cowpoke" achievement
  • The author has scaled and polished to ensure visual consistency

🎮 **Using experience:**

This module makes the game interface look more professional and unified, especially for players who often check the buff effects, the visual experience is greatly improved!

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.
