Secret Note Framework
✨ **A powerful framework built for modders to easily add highly customizable secret notes to your game! **

🎯 Main functions
This framework allows modders to easily create a variety of custom secret notes that players can discover and collect throughout the game.
**Core features include:**
- 🎮 **Conditional Control**: Set complex qualification conditions for each note, query based on game status
- 📍 **Location Customization**: Specify specific locations or location contexts where notes can appear
- 🎨 **Custom items**: Use different custom items to represent different note collections
- 🖼️ **Asset Customization**: Specify your own note content and format resources, including picture notes
- 📝 **Picture and text combination**: Create notes containing pictures and a small amount of text
- ⚡ **Trigger Action**: Set any number of trigger actions to execute when the note is first read

💡 Why do you need this framework?
Secret Notes are one of the few game data types in Stardew Valley 1.6 that still require integer IDs. This brings up several questions:
- **ID CONFLICT**: Any two mods that want to add secret notes face coordination issues
- **Type restriction**: ID determines the note type (ID ≥ 1000 is a log fragment, generated in the context of the island location)
- **Tag Restrictions**: ID also determines the tag of the note in the collection menu
- **Resource Sharing**: All secret notes must share the same image texture
- **Interface Limitation**: The Secret Notes tab in the Collection menu only knows 38 notes, and only one page is set.
This framework solves all of these limitations, giving modders the freedom to create rich secret note content!

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.
