✨ **Make map tiles transparent! **

This is a simple mod that serves as a replacement for PyTK's map tile transparency functionality.

🎯 How to use

Just add @Opacity as a tile attribute of float type:

  • **1** = completely opaque
  • **0** = completely transparent

🎮 **Game experience improved**

With this module, you can create more dynamic and layered map scenes! Allows player characters to appear naturally behind translucent tiles, adding more visual depth and immersion to your modded world.

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.
