StardewValleyDev.StardewModTemplates 1.0.0

Stardew Valley SMAPI Mod Templates

A dotnet new project template that scaffolds a Stardew Valley SMAPI mod in seconds.

The generated project targets .NET 6 and references the official Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig package, which automatically:

• finds your Stardew Valley install folder,
• references the game and SMAPI assemblies,
• deploys the built mod into the game's Mods folder,
• and produces a release-ready .zip.

Requirements

• .NET 6 SDK
• SMAPI 4.0.0+ (to run the mod)

dotnet new install StardewValleyDev.StardewModTemplates

The built mod is copied into your game's Mods folder, and a release .zip is written to bin/. If the game folder isn't detected, set GamePath in the .csproj:

<PropertyGroup>
  <GamePath>/path/to/Stardew Valley</GamePath>
</PropertyGroup>

Release

1. Update <Version> in the .csproj (this drives manifest.json).
