Summary
Stardew Valleyhas always had a subtle element of magic in its DNA. The wizard who lives in the forest, the evil With who appears at random to mess with your farm, and the various weaponry and items you can acquire to endow you with magical abilities are important stables of this game’s world. Despite all this, magic usually takes a backseat to the rest of the game’s tonal qualities.
If you’ve always wished that Stardew Valley featured a little more fantasy, these eight mods are the tools you need to get the job done. Though most of them focus on altering gameplay mechanics, some of them are purely cosmetic or even open up interesting romantic paths.
8Romanceable Rasmodius - Narrative Overhauled and Marriageable Wizard
The wizard is a Stardew Valley villager who is accessible from the get-go. Despite that, he is treated as somewhat of an outsider and cannot be romanced, even thoughbuilding up a friendship with him leads to vital rewards. But what if all that could change?
In this in-depth conversational overhaul, you can not only date and marry the wizard, but will gain access to new vital cutscene events that unlock after every two hearts of improved friendship. With new dialogue, a new wizard-themed home and magical-looking babies, you can bring the essence of magic into your domestic life as well as your adventuring one.
7Magic Junimo Pet
The Junimos are probably the most magical entities in all of Stardew Valley; they can mysteriously appear and disappear out of thin air, they can repair vehicles and bridges simply by dancing, and they have a cute auro thatRabbits, dogs, and kittens can’t match. Wouldn’t it be lovely if you could have one of your own?
With Magic Junimo Pet, the Junimos will deliver you your very own personal color-changing Junimo, making it feel even rarer and special. You will be rewarded with one aftercompleting the Community Center, but the mod allows you to play hide and seek to find five hidden Junimos if you don’t want to wait that long.
6Romanceable Rasmodia - Female Wizard
Rasmodius is a loveable old hermit, but what if he’s a little too old for you? With Romaceable Rasmodia, Rasmodius turns into his younger, female counterpart. You’ll still be taken on a magical romantic ride, but with a version of Rasmodius that feels more modern and age-appropriate.
The Romanceable Rasmodia mod must be used with eitherStardew Valley Expandedby FlashShifter orRomanceable Rasmodia Updateby Nom0ri.
As an added bonus, the Rasmodia mod also includes an extra resort event that is only unlocked after meeting specific secret conditions. It’s a fun vacation time to look forward to, while also making your wizard marriage feel fresh and exciting.
5Magica Trees for Content Patcher
This is a simple cosmetic texture mod, but it goes a long way toward making Stardew Valley itself feel a lot more mystical. The Magica Trees replace most of the standard trees found throughout the game’s environment with trees that look like they come out of a fairy tale.
Each tree has its own seasonal variant, so you’ll still get to experience the magic of each season change by witnessing each magical tree respond to the weather and temperature. Keep in mind that this mod only changes forest trees, not desert trees.
4Magical Crops
It turns out that farming and magic do go hand in hand after all. The Magical Crops mod is an interesting gameplay mechanic change that introduces seven new crops for you to grow on your farm, and as you expected, each crop comes with its own unique magical qualities.
This mod is structured like its own side quest; first, the wizard will send you mail and ask you to embark on quests. After you complete each task, you’ll be rewarded with a new magical seed type you can begin growing on your farm, and each seed type can be bought by the wizard infinitely once they are unlocked.
3Lumisteria Magic Field
If the combat of Stardew Valley is what you want more of, you’ll feel right at home playing the Lumisteria Magic Field mod. This mod adds a new location to the game, the Magic Field, where you’re able to go and fight waves of monsters, many of which are imbued with magical abilities.
This mod is a great way to practice any builds you’ve been working on as you prepare to make your way down theSkull Cavernor the Dangerous Mines. Or it can just be a fun way to relieve stress as you test your abilities against the game’s most powerful foes.
2Magic Scepter
The Return Scepter is one of the most valuable and expensive items in the entire game. Within seconds, it will warp you back to your farmhouse no matter where you are, making it the best time-saving tool in the game, but what if it became even stronger?
After installing this mod, the Return Scepter gains strength as you install warp obelisks; as you do this, the Return Scepter will gain the ability to warp you to more locations, including Ginger Island or Calico Desert. This makes this magical upgrade extremely useful, especially considering how rare desert warp totems are.
1Magic Meadows Farm Map
For many Stardew players, the secret woods are the most enchanting and beautiful area in the entire game. Now you can download a farm map that is inspired by this small but magical area.
Though it is partially a wonderful cosmetic mod, there are some interesting gameplay changes afoot too. All the grass is tillable, giving you a lot of freedom when deciding where to plant your crops, and there’s also a secret area located on the farm, yet another nod to the secret woods themselves.
