LookupAnything

Lookup Anything is a Stardew Valley mod that shows live info about whatever's under your cursor when you press F1. Learn a villager's favorite gifts, when a crop will be ready to harvest, how long a fence will last, why your farm animals are unhappy, and more.

For advanced users, the optional data mining mode also shows raw game values so you can see exactly what the game is doing.

Contents

Install

  1. Install the latest version of SMAPI.
  2. Install this mod from Nexus mods.
  3. Run the game using SMAPI.

Use

Just point your cursor at something and press F1. The mod will show live info about that object. You can do this in the world, your inventory, the calendar, a shop, the social menu, and more.

If there's no cursor (e.g. when playing with a controller or on mobile), the most relevant subject is shown instead. That may be something in front of the player, the player on the skills menu, the NPC on their profile page, etc.

You can also press left shift + F1 to search for something by name.

Configure

The mod creates a config.json file in its mod folder the first time you run it. You can open that file in a text editor to configure the mod.

Common settings:

setting what it affects
Controls

The configured controller, keyboard, and mouse buttons (see key bindings). You can separate multiple buttons with commas. The default bindings are...

field action default
ToggleLookup Look up a subject (see use section). F1
ToggleSearch Show a search UI to find something by name. LeftShift + F1
ScrollUp, ScrollDown Scroll the displayed lookup results. Up, Down
ToggleDebug Show information intended for developers. none

You can separate bindings with commas (like F1, LeftShoulder for either one), and set multi-key bindings with plus signs (like LeftShift + F1).

ProgressionMode

Default false. Whether to hide some content (current gift tastes) until you've discovered it in-game.

HighlightUnrevealedGiftTastes

Default false. Whether to highlight item gift tastes which haven't been revealed in the NPC profile. When enabled, unrevealed gift tastes will be bold and lookups will also show disliked/hated gifts.

HideOnKeyUp

Default false. If enabled, the lookup window will be shown while you hold F1 and disappear when you release it.

Advanced settings:

setting what it affects
EnableTileLookups Default false. Whether to include map tiles as lookup targets.
ScrollAmount Default 160. The number of pixels to shift content on each up/down scroll.
ShowDataMiningFields Default false. Whether to show raw data useful for data miners (as separate fields at the bottom of lookup results). This is an advanced feature not intended for most players.

Showcase

Progression mode

The optional 'progression mode' hides spoilers until you've discovered them in-game (disabled by default). This currently affects gift tastes. Hidden content is indicated by grayed-out text like this:

The screenshots below are without progression mode, and may show spoilers.

Sample lookups

  • See a villager's social data, friendship with you, and the gifts they like. This will highlight the gifts you're carrying (green) or own (black).

    The optional progression mode hides gift tastes until you've learned them in-game.

  • See your farm animals' happiness, friendship, problems, and any produce ready for you.

  • See your own stats and skill progress. Each green bar represents your progress towards that level. This works from the load-game menu too.

  • See a monster's stats, your progress towards the Adventurer's Guild eradication goals, and what items the monster will drop when killed. The drop list will highlight which items will definitely drop (black), and which might drop because you have the Burglar's Ring (gray but not crossed out).

  • See what an item is used for, who likes getting it as a gift, and its dye color (and strength) when used in tailoring. Look up a movie ticket to see what's playing and who would like the movie.

  • See where you can catch a fish:

  • See when a crop will be ready to harvest.

  • See when a crafting station will be ready, and what recipes it can produce. This works with most custom machines too.

  • See useful info about your buildings (different for each building type). For example:

  • See when a tree will bear fruit, how long until its fruit quality increases, and any problems preventing it from growing.

  • See how long your fences will last.

  • See what those mine objects do.

  • And much more!
