Stardrop is an open-source, cross-platform mod manager for the game Stardew Valley. It utilizes SMAPI (Stardew Modding API) to simplify the management and update checking for all applicable mods.
Mod profiles are supported, allowing users to have multiple mod groups for specific gameplay or multiplayer sessions.
Several UI themes are included, including light and dark themes.
Nexus Mods Support
Stardrop now supports the Nexus Mods API, allowing all Nexus Mods users to endorse mods from Stardrop itself. Windows and MacOS users can also download from a mod's webpage by using the mod manager button, allowing Stardrop to download and install the mod in one click.
Premium Nexus Mods users have the ability to download mod updates directly from Stardrop.

Stardrop is currently in open beta and while it has been thoroughly tested, bugs may still occur.
Please report any issues by following the instructions found here.

See the GitBook pages for detailed documentation on how to use Stardrop. It includes a handy search bar on the top right!

Stardrop can be downloaded via Nexus under the Files section. You can optionally compile it yourself as the project is open source.
