Multi Yield Crops for Stardew Valley

What this mod does

Multi Yield Crops is a framework by Cherry, now maintained by Pathoschild, that lets a crop give additional items when harvested. It works both for base-game crops and for those added by other mods.

How it works

• On its own it does nothing: it kicks in when you install a content pack that uses it.
• Harvest rules (which crop, which extra item and how many) are defined in a content pack or in the config.json the mod generates.
• There’s a technical guide on GitHub for anyone who wants to create their own rules.
• It doesn’t modify your save: if you remove it, the extra harvests simply stop appearing.

Do I need it?

Only if another mod asks for it on its requirements tab. According to Nexus, around twenty mods depend on it, mostly crop packs that add by-products or seeds on harvest. If you want to use it on your own, you can write your own rules in config.json by following the guide.

Compatibility

Version 1.0.6 (March 15, 2026, 25 KB) requires Stardew Valley 1.6.15 or later and SMAPI 4.1.10 or later, on Windows, macOS and Linux. It works in single-player and multiplayer, and the page doesn’t flag any conflicts with other mods. It’s by the same author as Expanded Preconditions Utility and, like that one, Pathoschild maintains it for new versions. It has no text to translate.

Requirements

• Stardew Valley 1.6.15 or later (Windows, macOS or Linux)
• SMAPI 4.1.10 or later
• A content pack that uses it (it does nothing on its own)

How to install it

1. Install SMAPI first (see its mod page) and launch the game once with it to make sure it works.
2. Open the Multi Yield Crops page on Nexus Mods, go to the Files tab and click Manual download on the main file (Multi Yield Crops 1.0.6). You need a free Nexus account to download.
3. Extract the .zip outside the game folder and move the resulting folder into the Mods folder, inside the game folder.
4. Also install the crop mod that requires it, following that mod's instructions.
5. Launch the game with SMAPI and check the console to make sure Multi Yield Crops and the pack that uses it load without red errors.
