Stardew Valley's friendly farming and earnest town life took root in everyone's hearts when it released back in 2016. Since then, there has been a slow but steady stream of updates from developer ConcernedApe from the bulky updates to small bug fixes and changes.

Over the past four years, Stardew Valley fans have been treated to a number of updates including the addition of four new farm maps, Stardew Valley's multiplayer farming, and the incredible 1.4 "Everything Update" that tweaked almost every feature of the game.

Below are all the updates to Stardew Valley in one place. We've catalogued each patch and update to the game and have divided them into a handy bar at the top. There have been so many that we've also had to create a second page of the farming sim's previous updates. If you're looking to make even more changes to your farm, make sure you check our list of the best Stardew Valley mods.

What will be in the next big free update for Stardew Valley? We don't know, but ConcernedApe confirmed on Stardew's 4 year anniversary that there is another content update in the works. The last main updates have been pretty substantial (the Everything update and Multiplayer update) and took quite some time to develop. We probably won't hear specifics about 1.5 until closer to its release.

One small detail we now know, thanks to a public poll that ConcernedApe ran, is that the next big Stardew Valley update will include a new fruit tree. The people have spoken and bananas are the winner. Does this mean new banana-related food recipes as well? Maybe! Bananas foster. Banana crepes. Banana pudding.

More recently, ConcernedApe posted an image showing a new door in Willy's fish shop. We've got no clue where it will lead, but the same post says that we can expect update 1.5 to include "a significant new piece of end-game content and much more!"

Patch 1.4.1

December 2, 2019

ConcernedApe released the 1.4.1 patch to address issues found in the big 1.4 Everything Update. The patch was originally listed as version "1.4.0.1" but changed to 1.4.1 to keep compatibility with the Stardew Valley Modding API.

Here are the fixes and changes from the patch notes.

New features

Added a new Gamepad Mode selection to the options menu. The default setting (“Auto”) will automatically switch between keyboard and mouse controls depending on the last used input. “Force on” forces the game to use gamepad logic, similar to earlier versions of Stardew Valley. “Force off” disables the gamepad and should be used if you only play the game using a keyboard and mouse.

You can now purchase the museum rarecrows from the night market after you’ve unlocked them.

Some non-spouse NPC’s now have custom movie ticket acceptance dialogue (english only)

Gameplay changes

Penny’s 14-heart event will no longer remove any placed dressers. They will remain in place, and any furniture that was supposed to be placed in any occupied tiles will now be added to the same chests Penny puts your objects in.

Explosive ammo now costs 300g/each in Marolon’s shop, won’t appear until you’ve unlocked the crafting recipe, and now only explodes with a 2 tile radius instead of 3.

You can now only buy one piece of Magic Rock Candy per Thursday at the Desert Trader.

Iridium ore abundance now increases much more slowly beyond level 100 of the skull cavern

Vincent now loves snails

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue where farmhand’s separate wallets would be reset to 500g if the host was playing on Mac or Linux

Fixed the incorrect ordering of NPC gift tastes so now tastes should remain as they were in 1.3.

Trash bear no longer appears on festival days, preventing a potential crash.

Fixed an issue where reclaiming the Insect Head, Neptune’s Glaive, Forest Sword, or Carving Knife from Marlon would cause Clint to appear to be upgrading that weapon. This could cause you to lose a tool if you were already upgrading a tool when this happened.

Fixed problem harvesting crops with the golden scythe.

Fixed bug where you could warp into the sewer on your horse, causing you to warp into the void.

Fixed an issue allowing torches and flooring to placed on the spouses’s porch position, preventing them from coming outside.

The Golden Scythe should no longer appear on the reaper after you’ve already received it

Fixed a minor issue where players who have connected to a game and are creating a character while an achievement triggers would send a message saying “- has earned the ‘(Achievement Name)’ achievement.”

Fixed a hole in the refurbished saloon room, which allowed players to walk out of the map boundaries.

Fixed an issue where a farmhand entering a freshly built cabin could cause the farmhand that owns it to spawn in in the upper left corner of the main farmer’s farmhouse.

Fixed fishpond silhouettes being incorrect after clearing the pond in multiplayer.

Fixed a typo causing plant seeds being removed from the inventory when unsuccessfully attempting to plant them outside of the farm.

Pre-1.4 Untyped “Honey” items that were misnamed “Wild Honey” are now just converted to “Wild Honey” that stacks with other “Wild Honey” items.

Fixed a crash that could occur when Tree Fertilizer recipe is added to a save that already has it.

Fixed the dove subplot enemy from leaving visual trails on the host’s machine regardless of the location they were in.

Corrected the fix for the Stardew Valley Fair festival’s petting zoo area appearing incorrectly if certain post-game conditions had been unlocked.

Added a graceful fail state to the function that gets a wedding for the day in case there’s a completely invalid farmer ID in the farmers list (potentially from a removed cabin).

Players that could have missed increases to their max health, crafting recipes due to skipping combat skill levels will now earn them on level load.

Adjusted shorts easter egg to give precedence to any normal interactions with the NPCs it affects (gifting, completing a quest, etc.).

Slightly optimized debris code.

Pending level ups are now removed from characters as they are applied, instead of all at once at the end of the night. This makes it so that a character who gets disconnected/crashes during a level up will now be able to re-apply their level ups the next time they are connected.

Fixed non-synchronization of items recovered from Marlon at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Changed the display name of Flounder in Russian, so that it is distinct from Halibut.

Weapon cooldowns now only happen if game time should pass.

Adjusted the requirements to be able to respec a skill at the Statue of Uncertainty to allow users who have “missed levels” to reclaim their missed perks levels using it.

Fixed a botched after-movie dialogue from Evelyn

Fixed the direction of the fold on the Gi clothing items.

Fixed Tea Saplings not being placeable on certain tiles on the farm.

Fixed a crash when checking the calendar while engaged to another farmer that is currently disconnected from the game.

Fixed problem where you could soft-lock a shop menu in an edge case scenario. You can also now buy recipes with a full inventory.

Potential fix for switching over to the scythe after using the club slam repeat quirk causing the next used tool to soft-lock the player in place.

CONTROLLER: Fixed some inconsistencies with cursor placement when item stowing is on.

CONTROLLER: Fixed an issue where using the Trigger buttons to swap pages in the Junimo Bundle menu while holding an item would cause it to be lost.

CONTROLLER: Highlighting a dropdown menu option in the options screen on the controller now snaps to the drop down button, no longer obscuring the text.

CONTROLLER: When a dialogue question is asked, the first selectable option is now selected by default on controller mode, regardless of whether or not the Controller style menus option is enabled.

CONTROLLER: Fixed an issue in the quest log where if you moved the cursor right from the “back” button when viewing a quest description on the second or higher page of the quest log, it cursor would move to an invalid position.

Fixed various typos.

MODDING: Added in a null check to loadDataToLocations as a courtesy to people with residual mod data in their save file

MODDING: Fixed the /friendAll debug command granting friendships to NPCs that aren’t friendable, which could possibly cause issues on any game mechanics that randomly select a friend (daily quests)

ConcernedApe is big on avoiding spoilers when releasing notes for big content updates so the blog post announcing the 1.4 everything update has several teases for new content but doesn't get into details. In the same spirit, we'll lead off with an overview of the 1.4 update.

Scroll to the next header to see all the detailed (and spoiler-y) notes on all new features and content.

Here are the highlights of the update without spoiling any of the new story content itself:

A new end-game mystery involving an abandoned building...

A new 14-heart event for every spouse

"I wanted to show a little more about what each spouse is up to after marriage, and give you another thing to look forward to after marriage."

Fish Ponds

A new farm building that allows you to raise fish and harvest a variety of items from them. Most fish will produce roe, which can be processed further in a preserves jar. Some fish produce other things, though, and many also produce secondary items that can be useful.

Four Corners farm map

Four Corners is perfect for the new separate money option in multiplayer, since each farmer can have their own quadrant to live in. But it’s also fun for single player or cooperative farms. Each quadrant has a different perk, but the intruding cliffs reduce your total farming area. Another interesting feature is that the greenhouse, farm cave and pet area are located in the center of the farm.

And more:

Over 60 new items, some fun, some practical and some powerful

Added 24 new hairstyles, 181 new shirts, 35 new hats, 14 new pants , and 2 new boots

Junimo Kart has been almost completely re-done

Sheds can be upgraded to double their interior size

Added 2 new monsters and 2 new alternative levels to the mines

A new type of upgrade at the Blacksmith’s

An emote menu for your farmer (default key is Y)

You can now stack "big" items like kegs

Junimo Note icon pulses when hovering over an item that’s required for a bundle

The social tab now keeps track of villagers’ likes and dislikes

Your collections tab now keeps track of all the letters you’ve received

14 new music tracks

Below are the full update notes including spoilers for that end-game mystery! We've bolded some of the big items to make them easier to pick out.
