Only when active - no more wasting energy
💪 **Make your farm life easier! **
✨ Module Features
Designed specifically for Stardew Valley, this mod will make your farm life less exhausting by preventing you from losing stamina when tools are wielded but no work is done. Swing an ax or pick with confidence, knowing that energy is only expended when you're actually chopping down a tree or pounding a rock!
🎯 **Intelligent physical protection**: Automatically detect whether the use of your tools (axe, pickaxe, hoe, watering can, fishing rod) will have an effect. If not, your stamina will be restored immediately.
🎮 Usage example
- Swinging an ax but missing a tree? ❌ No physical exertion!
- Watering already watered land? 💧 Save your energy!
- Hitting the clearing with a pickaxe? ⛏️ No energy is wasted!

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.
