Stardew Valley Edit Inventory Slots to get Items

[Duke Bradford]

I have been looking around in my SDV files, and have been wanting to find a way to give myself items by editing the files. Would anyone know where and how I can find the string to edit inventory slots?

Just install CJB Item Spawner mod

I haven't quite been able make sense of the inventory data myself. I can't find any explanation of it online either. I've been able to find specific items in my inventory by searching the item name, but there appear to be so many variables stored for each item that I wouldn't know where to begin adding a new item without potentially causing issues. The only thing that seems simple enough is changing the amount of an existing item. You may be able to figure it out with some trial and error though; I admittedly didn't spend much time with it, as I was only looking out of curiosity.

That said, it would be much simpler to use a mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/127

Or the item spawn cheat:

Naming your character using an internal object ID number in brackets will give you the item that corresponds with the number whenever an NPC mentions you by your name. For example, entering [645][499][163] will give you an Iridium Sprinkler, Ancient Seeds, and a Legend. (This exploit also works with naming children and animals.)

Object IDs can be found at either of the following pages:

Thanks very much, I just installed a mod loader and mods. It works fine.
