Trinkets

Note

The following page covers how trinkets are added in the base game, regardless of whether TrinketTinker is being used. You must add trinket items before you can extend it with trinket tinker data.

Trinkets can be added with by editing Data/Trinkets, generally with Content Patcher.

Example

{
  "Changes": [
    // Load texture
    {
      "Action": "Load",
      "Target": "Mods/{{ModId}}/MyTrinket",
      "FromFile": "sprites/{{TargetWithoutPath}}.png"
    },
    // Edit Data/Trinkets 
    {
      "Action": "EditData",
      "Target": "Data/Trinkets",
      "Entries": {
        "{{ModId}}_MyTrinket": {
          // Trinket ID, gives qualified ID of (TR){{ModId}}_MyTrinket
          "Id": "{{ModId}}_MyTrinket",
          // Display name (with i18n)
          "DisplayName": "{{i18n:MyTrinket.DisplayName}}",
          // Description, can include {0} token for the trinket level and {1} for ability descriptions
          "Description": "{{i18n:MyTrinket.Description}}",
          // Path to asset texture load target
          "Texture": "Mods/{{ModId}}/MyTrinket",
          // Sheet index (with 16x16 sprite size)
          "SheetIndex": 0,
          // Type that controls behavior of trinket, changing this alters what the trinket does, but several effects are hardcoded.
          "TrinketEffectClass": "StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.TrinketEffect",
          // Add trinket to random drop pool once player attains combat mastery
          // Can still add other ways to acquire (e.g. shops, machine outputs)
          "DropsNaturally": true,
          // Allow trinket to reroll stats on the anvil (and reroll appearance on the colorizer, for trinkets with tinker data).
          "CanBeReforged": true,
          // Mod specific data, not used by base game or TrinketTinker
          // "CustomFields": null,
          // "ModData": null
        },
      }
    }
  ]
}

TrinketEffectClass

Game comes with these trinket effect classes:

Type Name	Notes
StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.TrinketEffect	Base class, drops coins if the id is ParrotEgg
StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.RainbowHairTrinketEffect	Makes your hair prismatic
StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.CompanionTrinketEffect	Spawns the hungry frog companion
StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.MagicQuiverTrinketEffect	Shoot an arrow every few seconds
StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.FairyBoxTrinketEffect	Heal the player every few seconds while in combat
StardewValley.Objects.Trinkets.IceOrbTrinketEffect	Shoot an icy orb that freezes the enemy every few seconds

The Golden Spur and Basilisk Paw effects are not implemented through an effect class, instead certain parts of game simply checks if the player has a specific trinket equipped.
