A farmer’s plate is always full in more ways than one, especially if you’re in Stardew Valley. Caring for livestock, cultivating plants, and building relationships with Pelican Town’s villagers can become overwhelming. Sometimes, Stardew Valley players may need extra help completing goals, and that aid comes in the form of console commands.

How to Use Console Commands in Stardew Valley

Vanilla Stardew Valley doesn’t have a built-in command console, and, by extension, it doesn’t have admin commands by default. Instead, players must download and install SMAPI, Stardew Valley’s official mod loader. Once installed, navigate to the location of the Stardew Valley app in the gaming platform you’re using. Then, run the app named “StardewModdingAPI” (without the quotes). A command console should appear. Next, wait for the game to load and play it normally. The difference here is that you can switch to the command console at any time to input admin commands. Note that console commands in Stardew Valley are executed in real time. So, consider backing up your save file before taking any drastic steps to avoid regrettable, permanent actions. If you’re having some trouble with the installation, you can check out our guide on how to install SMAPI on a Stardew Valley client below:

All Console Commands in Stardew Valley

The following console commands for Stardew Valley don’t include debugs that have a higher-than-normal risk of crashing and even corrupting the current save file. Also, some of these admin commands are often labeled as cheats, since they directly provide players with significant advantages that might otherwise require substantial farming and grinding. So, these console commands are for educational purposes only, and shouldn’t derail some individuals from their preferred playstyles.
