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 favorite 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, a shop, the social menu, and more.
If there's no cursor (e.g. when playing with a controller or on mobile), the most relevant subject is shown instead. That may be something in front of the player, the player on the skills menu, the NPC on their profile page, etc.
You can also press left shift + F1 to search for something by name.
If you install Generic Mod Config Menu, you can click the cog button (⚙) on the title screen or the "mod options" button at the bottom of the in-game menu to configure the mod. Hover the cursor over a field for details.
The optional 'progression mode' hides spoilers until you've discovered them in-game (disabled by default). This currently affects gift tastes and puzzle solutions. Hidden content is indicated by grayed-out text like this:
The screenshots below are without progression mode, and may show spoilers.
You can look things up by pointing at them...

And many other places.
-
See a villager's social data, friendship with you, and the gifts they like. This will highlight the gifts you're carrying (green) or own (black).
The optional progression mode hides gift tastes until you've learned them in-game.
-
See your farm animals' happiness, friendship, problems, and any produce ready for you.
-
See your own stats and skill progress. Each green bar represents your progress towards that level. This works from the load-game menu too.
-
See a monster's stats, your progress towards the Adventurer's Guild eradication goals, and what items the monster will drop when killed.
The drop list will highlight which items will definitely drop (black), might drop because you have the Burglar's Ring (gray but not crossed out), or won't drop this time (crossed out). Note: this shows the normal monster drops, but the game may add special drops that are hardcoded and can't be detected by mods.
-
See what an item is used for, who likes it as a gift, and what you can use it for. Look up a movie ticket to see what's playing and who would like the movie.
-
See where you can catch a fish and what it'll produce in fish ponds:
-
See when a crop will be ready to harvest.
-
See when a crafting station will be ready, and what recipes it can produce. This works with most custom machines too.

See useful info about your buildings (different for each building type). For example:
-
See when a tree will bear fruit, how long until its fruit quality increases, and any problems preventing it from growing.

Lookup Anything is compatible with Stardew Valley 1.6+ on Linux/macOS/Windows, both single-player and multiplayer. There are no known issues in multiplayer (even if other players don't have it installed).
Lookup Anything scans the world to detect items for the 'number owned' and gift taste fields. It
scans inside standard items recursively; for example, if you have an Object with the heldObject
field set to a chest, Lookup Anything will look inside the chest too.
If you have a custom non-Object item (e.g. a tool) which contains items, you can add a custom
heldObject field or property with any Item type. For example:
// store one item
public Object heldObject;
// store many items
public Chest heldObject = new Chest();Lookup Anything will detect the field and search inside it too.
Lookup Anything detects when the cursor is over an item in standard menus. For custom menus, create
a HoveredItem field with any Item type and Lookup Anything will detect it:
public Object HoveredItem;Lookup Anything detects when the cursor is over an NPC in standard menus. For custom menus, create
a HoveredNpc field with an NPC type and Lookup Anything will detect it:
public NPC HoveredNpc;
