A basic mod that replaces the original cask sprite with a shorter version. This makes the quality status (star) on the casks visible when casks are placed two or more rows deep. This mod requires both SMAPI and Content Patcher. See install instructions.

Manual Installation:
- Install the latest version of SMAPI.
- Install the latest version of Content Patcher.

- Install the latest version of this mod using Vortex.
- Run the game using Vortex.
Optional:
- Install Generic Mod Config Menu, which allows disabling of the shorter casks from within the game.

Simply play the game. By default the shorter casks are enabled. If you installed Generic Mod Config Menu, you can disable the shorter cask sprite via the GMCM menu.
This mod does NOT alter the cask in any other way besides the visual height of the object. If you find that your casks are not behaving as expected, please check your other mods, as this mod is absolutely not capable of altering game behavior.

Compatible with...
- Stardew Valley 1.6
- Linux, macOS, and Windows. Tested on Windows and Linux (Steam Deck).
- Single and multi-player. For multi-player, the main player AND any farmhand who wishes to see the shortened casks must install this mod. Any farmhands who don't install it will see the default cask.
Mod conflicts:
- Any mod that alters the cask appearance (color, shape, etc), as the two mods will collide when attempting to replace the default sprite. If the other mod has the capability to disable individual items, disabling the cask in that mod and enabling it in Shorter Casks *should* work. If you try this and run into any issues, please file a bug.

- v1.0.0 - initial upload
- v1.0.1 - updated minimum API (SMAPI) version to 4.0.8
