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 favourite 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.
- Install the latest version of SMAPI.
- Install this mod from Nexus mods.
- Run the game using SMAPI.
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, or a shop.
The mod will work fine out of the box, but you can tweak its settings by editing the config.json
file if you want. These are the available 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 keyboard bindings are F1 to lookup, and Up /Down to scroll the lookup results. Available inputs:
|
HideOnKeyUp |
Default false . If enabled, the lookup window will be shown while you hold F1 and disappear when you release it. |
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. |
