Stardew Valley cheats: Best exploits & item codes

Cheats in Stardew Valley can be used to shake up your gameplay experience and they’re particularly handy if you need to obtain resources in the game. Here’s a full rundown of every available cheat and item code you can use in the cozy title. 

Farming sims have become massively popular in recent years, largely thanks to the massive success of Stardew Valley. In this adorable life-sim you’re tasked with building a farm up from scratch which includes tending to your crops and animals and creating relationships with members of the community.

There are quite a few limitations players have to manage in the game, however, including keeping a close eye on the time, as well as your energy meter. Thankfully, there are a handful of cheats and item codes you can use in the game to make things much more relaxing.

So, here are all the cheats and item codes you can activate in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley Switch cheats

Out-of-bounds glitch

The game has clear boundaries in each area that players can’t venture past. That is, however, unless you know this handy trick. If you approach the edge of any given area and start swinging a tool or weapon, you’ll gradually move forwards and out of bounds.

Some of these new areas are relatively useless, like the boundary near your house that just leads to pure darkness. But, that’s not to say it can’t be handy in certain situations.

In particular, using this glitch near water can help you get a better spot for fishing.

Stay up after 2 AM

Stardew Valley gives players a pretty strict bedtime to stick to. If the in-game clock hits 2 AM your character will pass out and be returned home safely, albeit a few Gold lighter than you were before.

But if you’re in the middle of a vital task, this can be extremely irritating, forcing you to pick up where you left off the next day. Luckily, you can stave off the sleep temporarily by opening your Journal once your character starts yawning.

It’s far from ideal, as you will have to keep repeating each time the animation starts, but it can buy some valuable time to finish up before bed.

Gold Spring Onions cheat

Golden Spring Onions are one of Stardew Valley’s most sought-after items, thanks to the extremely useful effects they grant the player. They offer huge health and energy boosts, allowing you to make the most of your limited hours in a day.

To make sure that the only Spring Onions you pick are of the very best quality, you need to make sure that your character’s inventory is stocked to maximum capacity. One of the slots must contain Gold Spring Onions, and there can’t be any other types of Spring Onion to be seen.

Now, you will only be able to collect the best of the best, and you won’t have to worry about Spring Onions of a lower quality sneaking into your pocket.

Extended fishing time

Fishing is a vital part of Stardew Valley, but traveling there and back can take up a huge portion of your time. This means you often have to call it day pretty quickly, so leveling up your skill becomes a real hassle.

However, the Journal is here to save the day once again. So long as you have an active quest, you can pause the in-game clock while your fishing continues uninterrupted.

All you have to do is cast a line, bring up the journal and wait for a bite. This will let you get a week’s worth of fishing done in a single day, which frees up plenty of time for other activities.

Galaxy Sword Stardew Valley cheat

The Galaxy Sword is an extremely rare weapon that most players won’t earn dozens of hours. It is usually obtained by holding a Prismatic Shard between three pillars in the Calico Desert, but the shard is hard to come by.

If you’re looking to bag the sword early, you can by visiting Pierre’s General Store. First of all, buy the catalog from him for 30,000g, then purchase the green wallpaper.

Thanks to a glitch in the code, the green wallpaper is recognized as the same item as a Prismatic Shard. This means when you hold in between the three pillars, it will automatically be replaced by the Galaxy Sword.

Unlimited money glitch

They say money makes the world go round, and Pelican Town is no exception. If you’re looking to breeze through those early stages and go straight to a super-farm, there’s a really easy exploit that can grant players unlimited Gold. This is done by constantly duplicating items so they can be sold over and over again for profit.

Every item in Stardew Valley has a numerical code, and if you put up to three of these codes as your character’s name separated by square brackets you can force these items to appear in your inventory.

This happens any time your character’s name appears in a dialogue box. So, for example, if you set your name to [16][107][154], then a Wild Horseradish, Dinosaur Egg, and a Sea Cucumber would drop straight into your collection.

The fastest way to rack up the money is to choose the codes of the most valuable items and talk to a character like Gus the bartender. He regularly uses the player’s name when speaking to be able to fill your inventory quickly.

Stardew Valley item codes on PC
