Modding:Migrate to Stardew Valley 1.6.16

This page is for mod authors. Players: see the mod compatibility list instead.

This is a potential patch before the announced Stardew Valley 1.7 to release bug fixes, but has no planned release date.

This page helps mod authors prepare their mods for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.6.16, and documents some of the changes and new functionality.

FAQs

What's changing?

Stardew Valley 1.6.16 mainly has small changes and improvements for mod authors. See the sections below for more details.

Is this the modapocalypse?

No. SMAPI will rewrite most code for the changes, so the vast majority of mods should be unaffected by these changes. Some mods (e.g. those which use Harmony) may need an update.

How to update your mod

Here's a suggested 'quick start' guide to update a mod for Stardew Valley 1.6.16.

For C# mods:

Update for Stardew Valley 1.6.9 if you haven't already.
Rebuild the solution.
Fix any build errors and review any build warnings. You can search this page and previous migration guides for relevant info as needed.
Increment your mod version in manifest.json.
(Some mods may be added to SMAPI's compatibility blacklist due to runtime errors. Incrementing the mod version will fix that if so.)
Test to make sure the mod works.
Skim through this page, and check any section that might be relevant to the mod.

For Content Patcher packs:

Update for Stardew Valley 1.6.9 if you haven't already.
Skim through this page, and check any section that might be relevant to the mod.

For content packs which use another framework:: See the documentation for the framework mod. Often you won't need to update the content pack if the framework mod itself was updated.

Data asset changes

`Data/Achievements`

This has been overhauled into a data model asset, with...

support for string achievement IDs;
translations moved into a new Strings/Achievements asset;
and new fields like IsSharedAchievement and SendToChat which weren't available in the old format.

The data asset now consists of a string → model lookup, where...

The key is the unqualified item ID.
The value is a model with the fields listed below.

field	effect
basic info
`DisplayName` `Description`	A tokenizable string for the achievement's in-game display name and description.
`IsSharedAchievement`	(Optional) Whether the achievement should be unlocked for all players when any player unlocks it. Default false.
in-game behavior
`KnownBeforeUnlockCondition`	(Optional) If `ShowInCollection` is true, a game state query which indicates whether the achievement name and description should be shown on the collection tab before it's been unlocked; if false, it'll be shown as "???" with no description. Defaults to always shown.
`ShowInCollection`	(Optional) Whether the achievement should be listed on the collections tab. Default true.
`ShowNotification`	(Optional) Whether to show a HUD notification when the achievement is unlocked. Default true. This should usually be true for custom achievements. The field exists to support platform-only achievements in the base game.
`SendToChat`	(Optional) Whether to send a message to multiplayer chat when a player unlocks the achievement. Default false.
advanced
`PlatformIds`	(Optional) The achievement's ID within each platform, if different from the achievement ID. Default none. For example, this is used to map achievement ID `0` (Greenhorn) to the Steam achievement ID (`a0`). This exists to support the base game's achievements, and should usually be omitted for custom achievements since they won't be registered with GOG/Steam/etc.
`CustomFields`	(Optional) The custom fields for this entry.

`Data/ChairTiles`

Fixed support for tilesheet asset names containing a dot. (For example, a tileseet asset named ExampleAuthor.ModName_Tilesheet now correctly uses that as the data key instead of ExampleAuthor.)

`Data/CookingRecipes`

These cooking recipe keys were changed to match their object name (like all the other recipes):

old name	new name
Cheese Cauli.	Cheese Cauliflower
Cookies	Cookie
Cran. Sauce	Cranberry Sauce
Dish o' The Sea	Dish O' The Sea
Eggplant Parm.	Eggplant Parmesan
Vegetable Stew	Vegetable Medley

This has no effect on the display text, but mods which reference these recipe keys will need to be updated.

`Data/LostItemsShop`

Added one new field:

field	effect
`RequireCondition`	(Optional) The game state queries which must match to add this item. The `Target` player is the one being checked. This field should generally only be used with deterministic game state queries.

If you specify multiple criteria fields, only one is applied in this order: RequireMailReceived, then RequireEventSeen, then RequireCondition.

`Data/PassiveFestivals`

Added one new field:

field	effect
`InLocations`	(Optional) The locations in which the festival happens. This affects various game logic like NPC dialogues, tent placement restrictions, weather, etc. If omitted, defaults to the keys in `MapReplacements`.

`Data/SpecialOrders`

Added one new field:

field	effect
`CanBeCancelled`	(Optional) Whether the special order can be cancelled. In multiplayer, any player cancelling the special order will remove it for all players. Default false.

And improved one field:

field	effect
`Duration`	This can now be set to `"Indefinite"` for a special order with no expiry. It will remain active until it's completed or cancelled. Consider enabling `CanBeCancelled` if applicable.

`Data/Tools`

Added one field:

field	effect
`ContextTags`	(Optional) The custom context tags to add for this item (in addition to the tags added automatically based on the other item data), specified as an array.

`Data/Weapons`

Added one field:

field	effect
`ContextTags`	(Optional) The custom context tags to add for this item (in addition to the tags added automatically based on the other item data), specified as an array.

Changes for all mod authors

Context tag changes

Added new context tags:

context tag	item types	effect
`axe` `error_tool` `fishing_rod` `generic_tool` `hoe` `lantern` `melee_weapon` `milk_pail` `pan` `pickaxe` `raft` `shears` `slingshot` `wand` `watering_can`	tools and weapons	The C# type which implements the tool or melee weapon. Note that the vanilla scythes are `melee_weapon`. See also the `is_scythe` context tag below.
`fish_skip_minigame`	any	If the player catches this item while fishing, it'll be caught directly without the fishing minigame. This matches the behavior when catching junk items like seaweed (which now have the context tag where needed).
`ignore_gift_limits`	any giftable item	Whether this item ignores the gift limits when given as a gift (similar to stardrop tea). Items with this tag don't count towards the daily/weekly limits, and can be given even if those limits have been reached.
`is_scythe`	tools and weapons	Marks the tool as a scythe. This is set for vanilla scythes through `Data/Weapons`.
`spawns_butterflies`	furniture	Whether butterflies spawn around this furniture, similar to the butterfly hutch.
`upgrade_level_*`	tools and weapons	The tool upgrade level. These tags are added automatically based on the tool's current level. For example, a copper axe will have both `upgrade_level_0` (base axe) and `upgrade_level_1` (copper axe).

Debug command changes

Added new commands:

command	description
`heldItem`	Shows info about the currently held item like its name, category, item ID, and context tags.
`mineAll` `volcanoAll` `warpAll`	Warps you through every top-level location (`warpAll`), mine levels 1–120 and the quarry mine (`mineAll`), or volcano dungeon level (`volcanoAll`). After 1.5 seconds in each location, you'll automatically warp to the next. This will continue until you've warped through every available location, at which point you'll warp one last time to your farmhouse/cabin. ⚠️ Side effects: `warpAll` will remove the perfection flag on your save. `mineAll` will affect stats like 'deepest level reached' and achievements like To The Bottom.

Improved existing commands:

command	description
`addAchievement`	Added a second argument: `true` to unlock a Steam achievement or `false` to unlock an in-game achievement (default false). This was previously decided based on the achievement ID being a number, but in-game achievement IDs are no longer limited to numbers.
`jump`	Fixed error if the NPC doesn't exist.
`perfection`	Fixed error when run on a save which already has some requirements partly met.
`toggleTimingOverlay`	Now shows more metrics like FPS and memory usage.

Removed some commands:

command	description
`furniture` `hat` `pole` `shirt` `tv` `wallpaper`	Replaced by generic commands like `item` and `fuzzyItemNamed`.
`getIndex` `listTags` `lookup` `qualifiedId`	Replaced by `heldItem`.
`lantern` `refuel` `stopRafting`	These were unimplemented or cut content.
`shiftToolbarLeft` `shiftToolbarRight`	Replaced by in-game hotkeys.

Stardew Valley 1.6.16 enables hidden 'diagnostic commands' in chat, which are enabled for all players but not shown by /help. These allow specific console debug commands to be run even if cheat commands aren't enabled:

command	description
`animalInfo`	Shows a HUD toaster message with the total number of farm animals in all locations.
`CharacterInfo`	Shows a HUD toaster message with the total number of NPCs in the current location.
`doesItemExist`	Syntax: `doesItemExist <item ID>` Searches the entire world (including other players' inventories) to see if the qualified or unqualified item ID exists anywhere. A global message saying Yes or No will be displayed, but there's no indication of where the item is located if it is found. See the `whereIsItem` command for more detailed output.
`getStat`	Syntax: `getStat <stat key>` Shows the value of a tracked stat.
`heldItem`	Shows info about the currently held item like its name, category, item ID, and context tags.
`listLights`	Shows debug info about all currently active light sources.
`logFile`	Begins logging information to a file on disk, if supported by the platform. This can be useful for troubleshooting errors.
`mineInfo`	Shows two mine-related stats (lowest level reached and deepest mine level).
`printPlayerPos`, `ppp`	Shows the player's current position in both tile and pixel coordinates.
`sdlVersion`, `sdlv`	Shows the current SDL version. (SDL is the low-level input library used by the game.)
`showExperience`	Syntax: `showExperience <skill ID>` Shows the player's total experience points for the given skill. The `<skill ID>` is one of `0` (farming), `1` (fishing), `2` (foraging), `3` (mining), or `4` (combat).
`toggleTimingOverlay`, `tto`	Shows an on-screen overlay with basic info for performance monitoring.
`version`	Shows the game's assembly version. This usually matches the version shown in-game (e.g. 1.6.15 build 24356 has assembly version `1.6.15.24356`).
`whereIsItem`, `whereItem`	Searches the entire world (including other players' inventories) for items matching the qualified or unqualified item ID, and lists all matches. Unlike the equivalent console command, this doesn't list spawned objects like artifact spots and weeds.

It removes these chat commands:

command reason

logFile
sdlVersion Replaced by the equivalent debug commands above.

Dialogue changes

Added new dialogue keys in Characters/Dialogue/*:

key	description
passive festival dialogue	Identical to location dialogue, but you can use the passive festival ID as the location name. Any passive festival dialogue has priority over location dialogue in the same location.
`FirstMeeting`	If set, shown the first time the player ever speaks to that NPC.

Fixed <location>_<x>_<y> and <location>_<dayOfWeek> dialogue keys never used in 1.6.0+ if a player has at least two hearts with the NPC.
Fixed location dialogues not recognizing the spring prefix (they only allowed summer, fall, and winter).
Fixed $r response IDs not tracked correctly if you reuse an NPC reaction key across multiple $r options.

Event changes

New event commands

command	description
`addAchievement <achievement ID>`	Unlock an achievement for the current player. The `<achievement ID>` can be a platform achievement ID (like `Achievement_LocalLegend`) or internal ID (like `17` for Gourmet Chef).
`addActor <x> <y> <direction>`	Add a character or player to the event. This is mostly equivalent to adding them through the character positions field, but can be done at any point in the script (e.g. for use with `goto` for event variations).
`completeQuest <id>`	Mark a quest complete. If the quest has no reward to collect, this also removes it from the in-game journal.

Improved existing commands

command	description
`gainSkill`	Added argument validation.
`spriteText`	The `[text]` argument can now be a translation key to get the text from.

Fish pond changes

Fixed the translation key suffix from a custom fish_talk_* context tag being capitalized differently from the vanilla suffixes. (For example, fish_talk_some_example would incorrectly result in a someExample suffix instead of SomeExample.)

Game state query changes

Added new game state queries:

query	effect
`IS_DEBRIS_WEATHER` `IS_GREEN_RAINING` `IS_LIGHTNING` `IS_RAINING` `IS_SNOWING`	Whether the weather in the given location sets the related weather field. For example, `IS_RAINING` is true for the `Rain`, `GreenRain`, and `Storm` weathers.
`LOCATION_MINE_DIFFICULTY <location> <min> [max]`	Whether the given location is in the mines or Skull Cavern, and its difficulty level is between `<min>` and `[max]` (default unlimited) inclusively. Difficulty 0 is the default difficulty, and modifiers like the Shrine of Challenge or some special orders each increase it by one.
`LOCATION_MINE_LEVEL <location> <min> [max]`	Whether the given location is in the mines or Skull Cavern, and its floor level is between `<min>` and `[max]` (default unlimited) inclusively. The Skull Cavern implicitly starts at level 121 (e.g. Skull Cavern level 10 is mine level 130).
`PLAYER_HAS_PREVIOUS_CONVERSATION_TOPIC <player> <id>+`	Whether the specified player(s) have previously had any of the specified conversation topics active. This doesn't include current topics (unless they're a repeat of a previous one).
`PLAYER_QUEST_ACTIVE <player> <id>+` `PLAYER_QUEST_COMPLETE <player> <id>+`	Whether the specified player(s) have any of the specified quest IDs open (`PLAYER_QUEST_ACTIVE`) or previously completed (`PLAYER_QUEST_COMPLETE`).

Improved some queries:

query changes

PLAYER_HAS_CAUGHT_FISH Now accepts unqualified item IDs too.

Item spawn field changes

Added new item spawn fields:

field	effect
`Color`	(Optional) For item types that support it (e.g. objects and clothes), a tint color to apply to the produced item. Default none.
`IsSpecial`	(Optional) Whether to mark the produced item as a special permanent item, which can't be destroyed or dropped. Default false.
`ObjectIsQuestItem`	(Optional) Whether to mark the dropped item as a quest item. This enables special rules like not being able to gift the item, and the item getting auto-recovered when it's lost in some cases. Default false.
`TempData`	(Optional) Set temporary item info that's not synchronized in multiplayer or written to the save file. This is somewhat specialized, and does nothing if there's no game logic or C# mod logic which reads it. Default none. For example, this adds a custom flag: "TempData": { "SomeExampleKey": "Example Value" } A C# code can then check for the field on the dropped items: if (item.TryGetTempData("SomeExampleKey", out object value)) ...;

The ObjectColor field is obsolete and replaced by Color. Content packs which set it will still work (since the game will pass the value through to Color automatically).

Map property changes

Added new map properties:

action	effect
`FarmHouseBed <x> <y> [item ID]` (valid in farm or farmhouse)	Sets the initial bed to place when creating the farmhouse or cabin. The arguments are: `<x>` `<y>`: the tile position at which to place it. `[item ID]`: if set, the qualified or unqualified item ID for the bed furniture to place. This must match a furniture item with item type `Bed`. Defaults to `(F)2048` (single bed). If omitted, a single bed is placed at position (9, 8).

Improved map properties:

action	changes
`FarmHouseFlooring` `FarmHouseFurniture` `FarmHouseStarterGift` `FarmHouseStarterSeedsPosition` `FarmHouseWallpaper`	Can now be set on the farmhouse map to override the farm map's equivalent property.
`FarmHouseFurniture`	Fixed property only allowing numeric item IDs.

Quest changes

The game now tracks completed quest IDs. You can check them using new game state queries or in C# via Game1.player.questsCompleted. The list is retroactively populated for pre-existing saves.
Added PLAYER_QUEST_ACTIVE and PLAYER_QUEST_COMPLETE game state queries.
Added completeQuest event command and CompleteQuest trigger action.
Added QuestIds constants for C# mods.
Added item spawn field to produce quest items.
Fixed intermittent crash when an item delivery quest for a non-Wizard NPC requests a cooking-type item.

Schedule changes

Added new schedule keys:

syntax	summary
`roommate_<festival ID>_<festival day>` `roommate_<festival ID>` `roommate_<season>_<day of month>` `roommate_<day of week>` `roommateJob`	Equivalent to the marriage schedules, but only apply if the NPC is a roommate. If a roommate NPC has both `roommate` and `marriage` schedules, it'll use a `roommate` schedule if any of them apply. If none apply, it'll default to `marriage` schedules. You can avoid that by setting the fallback `roommate` schedule key.
`marriage` `roommate`	A fallback schedule to use if a more specific schedule doesn't apply. If this is omitted and no other schedule applies, the NPC won't have a schedule that day.

Trigger action changes

Added new trigger actions:

action effect

CompleteQuest <quest ID> Complete all active quests with this ID in the player's journal.

Other changes

Added validation for schedule offset command in end-of-route animations.
Fixed crash when loading a save with missing building interiors.
Fixed RejectItem_* dialogue disabling the NPC's normal dialogue after it's shown.
Fixed NPC FlowerDanceCanDance field ignored for non-datable NPCs with no dialogue.

Changes for C# mod authors

Instance statics no longer affect mod assemblies

In multiplayer, split-screen mode works by swapping the values of static fields for each screen (called instanced statics). In previous versions, Stardew Valley would scan all loaded assemblies for static fields marked with [InstancedStatic] attributes except a few ignored assemblies like MonoGame.

In Stardew Valley 1.6.16, the game now only does this for the main game assembly to improve performance. If a mod was using [InstancedStatic], it should use SMAPI's built-in per-screen data utility instead.

AssetNameUtility

The new AssetNameUtility class has methods for working with asset names:

method	usage
`Normalize`	A low-level method which normalizes path separators in an asset name. For example: string assetName = AssetNameUtility.Normalize("Characters/\\/Abigail"); // produces "Characters/Abigail" Consider using SMAPI's `PathUtilities.NormalizeAssetName` instead, which is more thorough.
`TryParseTranslationKey`	Parses a translation key into its component parts. For example: if (AssetNameUtility.TryParseTranslationKey("Strings/UI:Confirm", out string assetName, out string fieldKey, out string error)) ...; // assetName: Strings/UI, fieldKey: Confirm, error: null This doesn't check whether the asset or key exists; see `Game1.content.IsValidTranslationKey` to do that.

EventValidator

Overview

The new EventValidator class analyses event scripts to detect issues like...

command names which don't match a registered command or alias;
command arguments which don't match those expected by the command;
and custom rule violations based on the EventValidator.CommandValidators field (which will be used for commands like goto in the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.7).

This is mainly meant to implement unit tests for events. For example, to validate all events in a data asset:

string assetName = "Data/Events/Farm";
var events = Game1.content.Load<Dictionary<string, string>>(assetName);

var validator = new EventValidator();
foreach ((string key, string script) in events)
{
    foreach (var issue in validator.Validator(assetName, key, script))
        Assert.Fail($"Validation failed for event '{key}' > command '{issue.CommandText}': {issue.SuggestedError}.");
}

Command argument validation

Argument validation is enabled if the command's handler method has an EventArguments attribute, which defines the argument pattern using a special syntax. Each command can list multiple patterns, and it'll be considered valid if any of them matches. If the pattern is an empty string, the validator will ensure no arguments are provided.

For example, the default showFrame command is defined like this:

[EventArguments("int", "actor int bool?")]
public static void ShowFrame(Event @event, string[] args, EventContext context)

An argument pattern consists of space-delimited tokens, where each token defines the format for an argument. For example, actor int bool? has three tokens representing three arguments: an actor name, a positive integer, and an optional boolean.

These are the tokens recognized by the validator:

token	meaning
generic argument types
`bool`	A boolean value (`true` or `false`).
`float`	A positive number with optional decimal point (like `5` or `0.5`).
`-float`	A number with optional decimal point and optional negative sign (like `5`, `-5`, or `-0.5`).
`int`	A positive integer (like `5`).
`-int`	An integer with optional negative sign (like `5` or `-5`).
`string`	A quoted sequence of arbitrary text like `"some words here"`. If the argument has no quotes, this is equivalent to the `word` token.
`word`	A simple sequence of letters, numbers, periods, and/or underscores (usually an ID or similar value). While the command will accept quotes, they're redundant and will be rejected by the validator.
`remainder`	One or more arguments of any type.
specific string formats
`actor`	An actor name in the event format (like `Abigail` or `Kent?`).
`assetName`	An asset name like `Data/Achievements`.
`direction`	A direction which can be specified as either a number (like `0`) or name (like `up`).
`itemId`	An item ID which can be qualified or unqualified (like `(O)MossySoup` or `MossySoup`).
`translationKey`	A translation key like `Strings/Locations:SomeKey`.
custom formats
`'...'`	The literal text or regex pattern to match, like `'continue'` or `'[\w-]+'`.

In addition, you can extend tokens with these indicators:

Suffix with + for repeating argument of that type. For example, int+ would allow both 5 and 5 6 7.
Suffix with ? for an optional argument which can be omitted. All tokens after this token must also be optional. (You can have optional repeating arguments like int+?.)
Infix with | for a parameter which can be one of multiple types. For example int|bool will allow either integer or boolean values.

Content manager changes

The base game's 'content manager' API changed in Stardew Valley 1.6.16. This mainly affects LanguageCode, Game1.content, and other content manager fields. This does not affect mods which only use SMAPI's content API.

In particular:

The game now uses IContentManager instead of LocalizedContentManager in most places. That includes fields like Game1.content, methods like Game1.content.CreateTemporary(), etc. The new interface also includes full IntelliSense docs.

Moved three types:

type	changes
`LocalizedContentManager`	Moved from the `StardewValley` namespace into `StardewValley.ContentManagement`.
`LocalizedContentManager.LanguageCode` `LocalizedContentManager.LanguageChangedHandler`	Moved from the `StardewValley` namespace into `StardewValley.ContentManagement`. Moved out of the nested type (e.g. change `LocalizedContentManager.LanguageCode` to just `LanguageCode` in your mod code).

And changed some LocalizedContentManager members:

type	member	changes
`LocalizedContentManager`	`CurrentLanguageCode` `CurrentLanguageLatin` `CurrentLanguageString` `CurrentModLanguage` `GetDefaultLanguageCode()` `OnLanguageChange` `SetModLanguage(…)`	These are no longer static, so they need to be called through an instance like `Game1.content`. For example, change `LocalizedContentManager.GetDefaultLanguageCode()` in mod code to `Game1.content.GetDefaultLanguageCode()`. Some of these are also renamed (see the next rows).
	`CurrentCulture`	Removed (it was unused).
	`CurrentLanguageCode`	Renamed to `LanguageCode`.
	`CurrentLanguageLatin`	Renamed to `LanguageUsesLatinFont`.
	`CurrentLanguageString`	Renamed to `LanguageString`.
	`CurrentModLanguage`	Renamed to `LanguageModData`.
	`GetCurrentLanguage()`	Removed. Use the `LanguageCode` property instead.
	`OnLanguageChange`	Renamed to `OnGlobalLanguageChanged`.

Item changes

Added IItemDataDefinition.GetContextTags(itemData) method, so custom item data definitions can add context tags from their data if applicable.
Fixed item.CopyFieldsFrom(other) always setting the stack size for the copy to 1.

Utility fields & methods

1.6.16 adds some new utility methods and fields. For example:

type	member	usage
`PassiveFestivalData`	`CoversDate(…)`	Get whether the festival is active on the given date.
	`GetFestivalLocations()`	Get the locations in which the passive festival happens (based on the `InLocations` or `MapReplacements` fields in `Data/PassiveFestivals`).
	`TryGetLocationReplacement(…)`	Get the new location to load instead of a normal one when the passive festival is active. For example, the Night Market replaces `Beach` with `BeachNightMarket`.
`Utility`	`TryGetPassiveFestivalDataForDayHere(…)`	Get the passive festival which occurs on a given date within the given location, if any. This is equivalent to `Utility.TryGetPassiveFestivalDataForDay(…)`, but also checks the given location against the passive festival's `InLocation` or `MapReplacements` field.

Other breaking API changes

(This section is meant as a quick reference if you have build errors; there's no need to read through it otherwise.)

Removed or renamed types

These classes were removed in 1.6.16:

type	migration
`Events.DiaryEvent`	Removed. This was unused.

Other API changes

These class members changed in 1.6.16:

type	member	migration
`Boots`	`price`	Removed. This was never used, since boots prices are calculated dynamically.
`Bush`	`draw(SpriteBatch batch, int yDrawOffset)`	Removed. Set the `drawOffset` field and then call `draw(SpriteBatch)` instead.
`Bush`	`yDrawOffset`	Replaced by `drawOffset`, which is now public and a `Point`.
`FishingRod`	`lastCatchWasJunk`	Renamed to `lastCatchSkippedMinigame` to more accurately convey what it does.
`NPCDialogueResponse` `Response`	`id` `friendshipChange` `extraArgument` `hotkey` `responseText`	Fields changed to get-only properties.
	`responseKey`	Field changed to get-only property. Previously `NPCDialogueResponse` stored the NPC's reaction dialogue key in this field. You should now use `npcReactionKey` for that instead.
	`SetHotKey(…)`	Removed. Set the hotkey through the constructor instead.
`StartupPreferences`	`levelTenCombat` `levelTenFishing` `levelTenForaging` `levelTenMining`	Removed. These were unused.

Other changes

Added PlatformAchievementIds constants.
Added event.floorSprites field for temporary animated sprites that should be drawn on the ground (e.g. under NPC shadows).
The game now uses forward slashes in all asset names (like Maps/Town instead of Maps\Town). This shouldn't affect most mods, since SMAPI already converted all asset names to forward slashes.
Removed broken Lantern tool, Raft tool, and their related logic.
TrashBear item ID fields are now qualified.
Fixed Event.TryGetEventCommandHandler not loading commands if it's called before any other methods.
Fixed machine auto-load leaving empty slots in chests when taking a secondary ingredient.
Fixed issue where placing a storage furniture (e.g. a dresser or fish tank) on a table would discard any items inside it.

Name translation changes for wiki maintainers

Some in-game item and monster names were retranslated in some languages for clarity or correctness.

This list is mostly provided to help wiki maintainers update pages, so it doesn't include names which only changed capitalization, changed ' (straight apostrophe) to ’ (curly) in French, or aren't visible to vanilla players (like mine rocks).

XNB impact

Overview

This section provides a summary of the XNB files which changed in Stardew Valley 1.6.16. This doesn't include new files (since they won't impact existing mods), text changes in non-English files, or the switch from \ to / in asset names (since that's backwards compatible).

XNB mods are disproportionately affected, since...

they replace the entire file;
they're loaded through the MonoGame content pipeline which is less tolerant of format changes;
they don't benefit from the compatibility rewrites Content Patcher provides for its content packs.

Content Patcher packs are typically unaffected (and Content Patcher will try to rewrite content packs automatically). However if a content pack replaces an entire asset instead of editing, it's more likely to be affected like an XNB mod.

Changed assets

Compatibility is broadly grouped into four categories:

"✘ broken": mods will remove new content or significant changes, or the mod's intended changes will no longer work. Effects may range from display bugs to crashes, depending how the game uses that specific content.
"✘ will remove changes": mods will remove minor changes in 1.6.16 (e.g. typo fixes).
"✓ mostly unaffected": mods will only be affected if they edit specific entries or fields.
Blank: no expected impact for the vast majority of mods.
