Modding:Boots

← Items

This page explains how the game stores and parses boots-type item data. For items in general, see Modding:Items.

Overview

Boots are items which can be equipped in the player's boots slot. These change the player sprite and may provide buffs.

They have their data in Data/Boots, their sprites in Maps/springobjects (item) and Characters/Farmer/shoeColors (shoe color) by default, and their code in StardewValley.Objects.Boots.

Data format

The boots data in Data/Boots consists of a string → string dictionary, where...

• The key is the unqualified item ID.
• The value is a slash-delimited string with the fields listed below.

index	field	effect
0	Name	The internal item name (and display name in English).
1	Description	The translated item description shown in-game.
2	Price	Unused. The actual price is calculated as (added defence × 100) + (added immunity × 100).
3	Added Defense	A defense bonus applied to the player while equipped.
4	Added Immunity	An immunity bonus applied to the player while equipped.
5	Color Index	The boots color index within the Color Texture, where 0 is the top-left set, if present, otherwise the Characters/Farmer/shoeColors spritesheet.
6	Display Name	The translated item name shown in-game (for non-English assets only).
7	Color Texture	The asset name for the texture containing the boots color sprite.
8	Sprite Index	The boots sprite index within the Texture, where 0 is the top-left set.
9	Texture	The asset name for the texture containing the boots sprite.

Example

You can add a custom boots item using Content Patcher like this:

{
  "Format": "2.8.0",
  "Changes": [
    // load textures
    {
      "Action": "Load",
      "Target": "{{ModId}}/Boots, {{ModId}}/BootsColor",
      "FromFile": "assets/{{TargetWithoutPath}}.png" // `assets/Boots.png` and `assets/BootsColor.png`
    },

    // add data
    {
      "Action": "EditData",
      "Target": "Data/Boots",
      "Entries": {
        "{{ModId}}_OverpoweredBoots": "Overpowered Boots/These boots are totally overpowered!/1000000/100/100/8/Overpowered Boots/{{ModId}}\\BootsColor/0/{{ModId}}\\Boots"
      }
    }
  ]
}
