Alternative Textures is a framework which allows for texture variation for objects, buildings and entities in Stardew Valley. Multiple AT content packs are compatible with each other, even if they modify the same object.

The framework also allows for textures to only be available during certain seasons, as well as the ability for mod authors to set the probability of certain texture variations. Additionally, craftable and furniture objects can be animated!

Alternative Textures also supports vanilla and Content Patcher added building skins, as well as animal skins / breeds.





See the GitHub repository for an in-depth wiki on how to create a content pack for Alternative Textures.

See the example pack in the Optional Files section for an example texture variation pack.

Content Patcher and Generic Mod Config Menu are supported!

Json Assets and Dynamic Game Assets are supported!

Adopt 'N Skin compatible!


Entities (such as farm animals) are supported!



To use this framework, you need an Alternative Textures content pack. These content packs will add texture variation to one or more placeable objects in Stardew Valley.

When placing supported objects, it has a chance to use the default game texture or one of the texture variations supplied by any AT content pack. This feature can be disabled via the framework's config file (or via GMCM).

If you'd like to change the texture of the placed item, you can use the Paint Bucket tool on it. This tool is purchasable from Robin.

See Paint Bucket on the wiki for more details.

See Paint Brush on the wiki for additional details.


See Scissors on the wiki for changing textures of entities.

See Spray Can on the wiki for additional details.

See Texture Catalogue on the wiki for additional details.



For a general example pack, see the mod's repository.

For a full furniture example pack, see Inss94's pack.
