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.

- **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)

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.
