Add-ons and development

Data packs and NeoForge add-ons can use the 0.5 API to extend supported farm layouts, buildings, locations, and other content.

Common local validation commands:

./gradlew classes
./gradlew build
Prebuilt world data for development

The Stardew Valley dimension loads prebuilt region data. Development checkouts need the following files:

src/main/resources/data/stardewcraft/structures/stardew_valley/main.schem
src/main/resources/data/stardewcraft/structures/mine/main.schem
src/main/resources/pregen/stardew_valley/region_manifest.txt
src/main/resources/pregen/stardew_valley/region/*.mca

The mod blocks entry to the Stardew Valley dimension when these files are missing or fail validation.

Russian localization includes work by Annelo and contributors to annel0/Starfield-Pastoral. Existing official localization text takes priority.

Starfield Pastoral uses a custom non-commercial fan project license. Original project code and content belong to the project team and contributors. Third-party and game-derived materials remain the property of their respective rightsholders. The project license does not cover those materials.
