Slight adjustment to the way items pop out when dug from the ground.

Multiplayer changes

Many improvements for multiplayer performance and stability. That includes:

Jump down mineshaft sound now plays for all players in the level rather than just the jumper.

Balance changes

Added a box with three tent kits to the Ginger Island jungle.

Slime Hutches are now significantly smaller (11×6 → 7×4).

Farm animals now gain a little happiness if you close the animal door behind them at night.

Grass now survives in the winter, though it won’t spread. However, cutting grass during winter is much less effective.

Changed recipe skill requirements for:

charcoal kiln (foraging 4→2);

cookout kit (foraging 9→3);

survival burger (foraging level 2→8);

tapper (foraging 3→4);

and worm bin (fishing level 8→4).

Price changes:

Most home renovations now cost money, which is refunded if you undo the renovation. (The game knows whether you bought it though, so refunding a pre-1.6 renovation won’t give you free money.)

Reduced fairy dust sell price (500g → 300g).

Reduced tea sapling sell price (500g → 250g).

Reduced life elixir sell price (500g → 250g).

Shop changes:

Put limits on some casino stock.

You can now buy all brazier recipes in Robin’s shop at once instead of in sequence.

Item drop changes:

Chopping down a fruit tree now yields the appropriate fruit sapling. If the tree is mature (i.e. the fruit quality is > basic), it will yield a sapling with the same quality as its fruit. The higher the quality, the faster the sapling will mature.

Chopping down a tea bush now gives back a tea sapling.

There’s now a small chance to find cosmetic items and other goodies while doing random tasks.

Mushroom Logs and Mushroom Boxes now grant 5 foraging XP on harvest.

Harvesting berry bushes now grants 1 foraging XP per berry.

Harvesting forage crops from wild seeds now give much less foraging experience, but grant some farming experience.

Monsters on the farm now give combat experience, but it’s 1/3 of normal value. This excludes slime hutch slimes.

Adjusted combat:

Extended the area of effect of downward facing melee attacks (and slightly extended the side attack of daggers).

Topaz ring now gives +1 defense, rather than the unused precision stat.

Raised insect head’s damage (10-20 → 20-30).

Raised kudgel’s critical attack power (+4 → +50).

Bombs now affect terrain features (like trees and crops) within the round explosion radius rather than a square area.

Slightly increased rate at which skeletons throw bones or shoot spells.

Adjusted Junimo Kart:

Reduced bubble spawn rate on whale level.

Adjusted machines:

Loom now has a higher chance of double cloth when processing quality wool.

Fish ponds now have a chance to produce extra roe whenever they produce roe.

Geode Crushers no longer require coal to operate.

Adjusted penalties when knocked unconscious:

You can no longer lose the Golden Scythe, Infinity weapons, or tools.

You can no longer lose more than three items.

The amount of money lost now scales to how much you have. It’s now less punishing if you don’t have much money, but more punishing if you have a lot. This also raises the maximum lost from 5000g to 15000g.

River fish bundle now gives deluxe bait.

Improved some community center rewards.

Adjusted crafting recipes:

speed gro now requires 5 Moss instead of 1 Clam .

deluxe speed-gro now requires 5 bone fragments instead of 1 coral.

quality dertilizer now requires 4 sap instead of 2, but produces 2 per craft (still only requires 1 fish).

Spouse changes:

Spouses now have a seven-day “honeymoon” period after marriage which prevents them from laying in bed all day due to being upset.

Kissing your spouse, and giving them a gift on the previous day, each reduce the “minimum heart level threshold” for a bed-ridden day by one heart (12→10 if you do both).

Friendship gain is reduced by 33% for spouses.

Rebalanced the crop fairy event: the chance no longer depends on the number of planted crops, it can no longer happen on the last day of the season (to avoid growing crops that might die overnight), and it can no longer choose dead crops to grow.

Increased the shaving enchantment‘s effect on giant crops.
Each giant crop now has a 60% chance of dropping an extra six crops while the shaving enchantment is equipped, spread across the number of hits needed to break it. For example, a base axe which breaks the giant crop in three hits gets three 20% chances of dropping 2 crops.

The mushroom cave now provides mushrooms every second day. It was unintentionally changed to daily in Stardew Valley 1.5.

You can no longer plant trees in the beach farm tunnel.

Randomization no longer produces simple repeating patterns in many cases (e.g. clay farming, mushroom level prediction, crab pot fish offset, etc).
(You can enable “Use Legacy Randomization” in the advanced save options to use the old randomization, though some specific patterns may still change due to the underlying changes. That option is mainly intended for speedrunners; most players should keep it disabled for the intended experience.)

Spreading weeds can no longer destroy artifact spots.

Increased the number of monsters that daily monster quests will ask you to slay (in some cases). Added more custom quantities, for example Dust Spirits will ask for 10-20 kills.

Tilled dirt on the island farm now decays in the same way as the regular farm.

Slightly increased time you have to push against farm animals before passing through them.

Slightly boosted quarry output. Daily quarry output now increases each year, up to a limit.

You can no longer plant trees in town.

If Pam won’t be coming to the bus for any reason, she now leaves a sign informing you and you can drive yourself to the desert.

Audio changes:

Made more sounds positional (mainly players, tools, and machines).

Positional sounds now fade with distance when off-screen, instead of cutting off abruptly.

Softened the bomb fuse sound.

The music now “ducks out” and then resumes when certain sounds are played, instead of stopping.

You can now “strafe” while charging a watering can or hoe, allowing you to reposition your tool hit area without changing your facing direction.

You can now refill slingshot ammo by right-clicking it with the same ammo. Previously that would just swap the item stacks.

Planting cactus seeds on the farm now fails with a message, instead of the seeds dying overnight.

Holding a tea sapling or seed over a garden pot now shows the green/red placement tile.

Reduced time for mini-obelisk warp (750ms faster).

Male farmers are no longer forced into wedding clothes on their wedding day, so you can choose your own outfit for the wedding.

Emptying a fish pond with fish still in it will cause the remaining fish to flop out of the pond.

Shops now have a slight delay before you can buy/sell items, to help avoid double-clicks doing it accidentally.

Significantly reduced save loading time when there are many custom locations.

If a default farm building (like the greenhouse) is somehow removed, it’ll now be rebuilt next time you load the save.

“Menu background” is now a drop down option, which includes “Standard”, “Graphical”, or “None”.

Attempting to put something in a machine but failing will no longer cause you to try and consume or activate the object you’re holding.

Kent intro event and Robin flute block event are now skippable.

Other changes
