This mod introduces two new plants, five artisan machines, and many new ingredients and recipes related to chocolate. The mod features custom animations for the new machines, which are also compatible with fairy dust. As players progress and level up their farming skills, they will unlock various chocolate ingredients and recipes. Some of these chocolate items even provide buffs that enhance gameplay with temporary boosts to attributes like foraging, farming, speed, and luck.

Stardew Valley Chocolate-Making Mechanics Introduced in the Mod

For instance, the white chocolate truffle boostsStardew Valley’s foraging skills, while the dark chocolate toffee nugget improves speed, defense, and attack. Water is an essential ingredient for some chocolate recipes, which is why players will be able to purchase it at Pierre’s General Store for 10g. The mod includes NPC gift tastes, so most characters will appreciate chocolate-related gifts, except for cacao beans, nibs, and fruits.

Orangeblossom decided to simplify the design of the cacao plants to make them similar to theStardew Valleyvanilla coffee beansto save time. The modder mentioned they couldn’t test the mod too much, so they encouraged players to report any bugs or typos they encounter.
