For those who're asking, it's a simple Content Patcher mod and it does not need full 1.6 conversion and works as is on 1.6 without issues since it's merely Text (check inside of content.json) so as long as your Content Patcher is updated, this mod is auto-updated and you don't need to ask furthermore.
As for why I came; Author of the mod seems to be in long hiatus so you're on your own to do whatever you want and I find this mod borderline-cheat since it uses most "Common" minerals in SdV where Prismatic Shard is meant to be found harder. If you prefer, you can install CJB Item Spawner and give yourself 999 Prismatic Shards in 1 click but where's the fun in that?. Author simply took all the minerals which start at SdV ID number 60, increases by 2 like 62, 64 up to 72 as you can examine the WHOLE mod itself right here; { "Format": "1.18.0", "Changes": [ { "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/CraftingRecipes", "Entries": { "Prismatic Ascent": "60 1 62 1 64 1 66 1 68 1 70 1 72 1/Home/74/false/s Mining 7" } } ] } which is very easy to read saying use mineral 60 1 time ... goes on ... mineral 72 1 time + no site crafting (only on bench) + crafts into Prismatic Shard (74) for 1 and require Mining Level 7. So you can EDIT this into anything you want after checking the ID numbers from https://stardewids.com/.
So for anyone who's interested in Realism and more Fair/Balanced type of Recipe; Prismatic Shard comes from the word Prism which you all should know is a simple science experiment that you dissect daylight into 7 colors namely and orderly; Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (Purple), Violet (Pink~ish light Purple). Current recipe follows Number Order of IDs so doesn't match the Prism Colors so I made a research on Minerals found on SdV and their "True" Colors on Google images and this result came up to change the Recipe of this mod for Realism;
Red: Ruby, Orange: Orpiment, Yellow: Topaz, Green: Emerald, Blue: Kyanite, Indigo: Amethyst and Violet: Fluorapatite. 3 of the minerals are different from original recipe, harder to find but matches the Real Prism Colors and provides Fair/Balanced quality instead. So anyone interested just should change their code manually by yourself into; "Prismatic Ascent": "60 1 64 1 66 1 68 1 545 1 550 1 556 1/Home/74/false/s Mining 7" If you're middle of the game, you already should have these minerals even if low on quantity so all you need to do is craft many Crystalarium devices to replicate what you have so that you later can combine them into Prismatic Shard via this recipe. The replicators adds delay in creation which eliminates the Cheat factor (you can always use Cheat mods otherwise).
For those seeking Extreme Ease of Use, this change definitely isn't for you but you can use the Information provided here to REDUCE the ingredients furthermore to create a cheat recipe yourself like; "Prismatic Ascent": "80 7/Home/74/false/s Mining 1" which translates into; use Quartz (most common mineral in SdV ever) x7 times (Prism has 7 colors) and craft at Mining 1.
I tried posting your modification with the fair/balanced version { "Format": "2.3.0", "Changes": [ { "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/CraftingRecipes", "Entries": { "Prismatic Ascent": "60 1 64 1 66 1 68 1 545 1 550 1 556 1/Home/74/false/s Mining 7" } } ] } but it says the format needs to be updated, after doing "Format": "1.18.0", into "Format": "2.3.0", it still says there's errors and the game won't run it on my end

Hello I downloaded the mod but I do not see the mod anything or unlock the something when I reach level 7 and Smapi does not mark it in red, well I assumed that as I was at level 10 and I did not mark it so I downloaded another mod to lower my level and raise it again but nothing appeared to me to craftear
I just downloaded this and went to run stardew and I was told I'm missing other things to be able to make it work? I have SMAPI and it's working with my other mods. I'm new to modding games so idk if its me. Am I missing something? I'm very confused... I love this idea though. I've been playing this game for almost 200 hours and have only received 2 prismatic shards. :(
You just need Content Patcher for it to work. If you have Content Patcher and it stills not work, read the console that opens when you open smapi and you will see some red text (that's for every mod), you can read that text and sometimes you can figure out what is happenning, if you have any problems you could send me a screenshot with the red text and I will try to help you^^
This is actually a really cool idea! I always thought it was lots of mashed up jewels. Thanks for making this, I'm fed up of only finding one or using a spawner lol
