Net Ball For Nature In The Valley

🎯Mod Overview

This mod adds a throwable **tennis ball** to Stardew Valley, inspired by the concept of Poke Balls in Pokémon! You can purchase tennis balls from the **Ivy** shop in the Insectarium and use them to catch various creatures that spawn in the water.

🌊 Core functions

  • **Throw and Capture**: Throw the tennis ball accurately to the location of the underwater creature to capture it
  • **Two versions**:
  • Basic Tennis
  • Upgraded version of tennis ball (larger catching radius), unlocked after completing tasks in the community center or Qiaojia Supermarket
  • **Special Design**: Specifically targeted at water creatures, solving the problem that short-distance capture nets are difficult to reach

🎮 How to use

  • **Where to buy**: Purchase tennis balls from **Ivy’s Insectarium Shop**
  • **Accurate Throwing**: Throwing tennis balls to creatures in the water requires accurate aiming.
  • **Progress Requirements**: First purchase requires completion of specific NITV biological donation (can be skipped through configuration)
  • **Upgrade Unlock**: Unlock the upgraded tennis ball after completing the Community Center or Qiaojia Supermarket.

  • Nature In The Valley
  • Extract the **NITVNetBall** folder to:

```

✨ **Game experience**: Say goodbye to the trouble of waiting with a fishing rod. Now you can throw tennis balls gracefully like a real creature trainer and accurately capture those hard-to-reach water creatures!

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.
