This is just a little mod that I made for fun and doesn't really do anything major.
I originally made this mod for myself, thinking it would be cute to have the eggs be reskinned to look like Easter eggs during the Egg Festival, but then I thought about
"what if I could have these items spawn throughout the valley during that festival?". That's when I decided that maybe I can give some more alternative stuff that you can do while waiting for a festival to start or if you don't want to join the festival at all but still want something else to do. I'll try and make sure that this mod still keeps the gameplay balanced, however.
Something that I forgot to mention: the new forage will not spawn automatically when the day starts (well, some could, but not all of them), so they will keep spawning as the day continues. There are also a set minimum and maximum number for how many will spawn.
--- EGG FESTIVAL ---
Looks like someone has been leaving behind little colorful treats for anyone to take in the middle of spring. Do you think you'll be able to get some of them? All of the eggs that you can find are covered in colorful foil too! Now how did that even happen?
Have the egg hunt OUTSIDE of town! Colorful eggs and chocolate bunnies have a chance of spawning throughout the valley, all free for the taking. Take note though: those that have spawned but have not been picked up will disappear the next day! Oh, and no need to look for them in the desert or the beach because they don't spawn there. I don't think anyone would want them to be coated with sand. >_<

This replaces the textures of all of the eggs (except the golden eggs) that are present in the 1.5 Stardew Valley update, rabbit's foot, the pink bunny plush, cookies, and their object data (the item's descriptions) during the 13th of Spring only.
--- FLOWER DANCE ---The elusive crop fairy seems to be in a good mood this late spring and now the valley is growing more colorful with the abundance of flowers!
Some flowers and spring forage are growing much more throughout the valley! However, this sudden growth also causes them to wilt the next day, so be sure to get them before they go away! These new forages will only spawn in the grassy and dirt areas of the valley, so no desert or beach flowers.

Only some normal forage (common mushroom, daffodil, dandelion, leek, sweet pea, wild horseradish), spring flowers (blue jazz, tulip), and summer flowers (poppy, summer spangle, sunflower) will spawn during the 24th of Spring.
More Coming Soon~!

Q: How to install this mod?
A: 1. Download this file and make sure to have the requirements also installed.
2. Unzip the downloaded zip file.
3. Just drop the extracted folder into the mods folder provided when you have Smapi installed. _(:3 」∠)_
Q: What is required for this mod to work?
A: Smapi, Content Patcher, and Farm Type Framework
Q: How does this mod work?
A: This mod will apply retextures and edit some Object Data (the items' descriptions in-game) during festivals exclusively. These changes do not show up outside of these dates, so no need to worry about fall time easter eggs, summer-growing ice crystals, or winter flowers. In other words, colorful eggs will only appear during the day of the Egg Festival and will turn back into regular eggs when the festival day is over. There will be new forages during the festivals exclusively as well!
Q: Does this mod add new items that are not available in the vanilla game?
A: This mod does not add new items to the game, but may look like they're new because of how I edited their textures, in-game description, and how you acquire them. They are really just retextures of the same items you'd normally have while playing the game, but I try to have them make sense. For example, my mod turns regular eggs into eggs with colored foil wrapped around them during the Egg Festival. These "new" items are just for fun and will hopefully reduce the risk of the mod breaking because of that.
Q: Will this mod conflict with other mods that change the same items?
A: From my experience, no. Your other mods will still show up on any other day and this one will also show up only during their festival dates. However, if this mod is having trouble showing up during a festival, then you can rename this mod to make it load after your other mods because Smapi loads mods alphabetically (for example, renaming this mod from "Festive Valley" to "z Festive Valley").
Q: Does this have support for custom items/crops?
A: Well, these can definitely work with custom items/crops in the game, but this mod will not spawn them even if they match the criteria for each festival. This is because of how the mod is coded. It looks for the specific Object IDs that belong to certain vanilla items, such as "107" for the dinosaur egg and "591" for the grown tulip. Since I'm quite new to modding in general, I don't really know how to add custom items support as of now.
Q: Do you think you can add ___________, change ___________, etc?
A: Feel free to share them because ideas and suggestions would be highly appreciated! ヽ(・∀・)ノ
Q: I don't want a certain feature, can I disable them?
A: These little features are separated into different folders. The [CP] folder contains the retextures and small data changes, which I do not recommend deleting. The [FTM] folders are the features that enable the spawning of new forage around the valley. If you don't want easter eggs to spawn during the Egg Festival, you can delete the folder that has the Egg Festival title in it. If you don't want flowers to spawn during the Flower Dance, you can delete the folder that has the Flower Dance title in it. This goes on for the rest of the festivals once they are available.
Q: What is the point of this mod?
A: I originally made this mod for myself with the eggs turning into colorful ones during the Egg Festival and that was that, but then I uploaded it and it was suggested for other holidays to get this sort of treatment too. It can be a little headcanon that those who reside in the valley do have some sort of festival celebration, you can challenge your friends to see who gets the most items that day, these items can help aid you a bit for the community center bundles, or just a fun little thing that happens. In the end, there's no major reason for this mod to be the way that it is. It's all just for fun really. ^_^
