Stardew Valley Mobile Mods — Best Android Mods to Download in 2026

Stardew Valley on Android supports a growing library of SMAPI-compatible mods. While not every PC mod works on mobile, a solid selection runs reliably on Android devices with SMAPI installed. The mods below are tested for mobile compatibility and offer some of the biggest quality-of-life and content upgrades available. If you enjoy modded farming and open-world experiences on mobile, you will also love Terraria and Minecraft, both of which have strong Android modding scenes of their own.

1. Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE)

The single largest content mod for Stardew Valley, adding a new town, 27+ new NPCs, new quests, and a completely expanded world map. The mobile-compatible version runs on Android via SMAPI and is the closest thing to a full expansion pack. Expect slightly longer load times on mid-range devices.

2. NPC Map Locations

Shows every NPC on your in-game map in real time. An essential quality-of-life mod for mobile, where typing search queries mid-session is slower. Works fully on Android with SMAPI.

3. CJB Cheats Menu

Adds an in-game cheats panel that lets you control weather, time, warp to locations, and give yourself items. Fully compatible with mobile and ideal for players who want a more relaxed experience.

4. Lookup Anything

Tap any item, character, or crop to see all relevant data (gift preferences, sell prices, grow times) without leaving the game. This mod dramatically reduces the need to tab out to a wiki, which is especially convenient on mobile.

5. Better Ranching

Shows animals that need petting or milking with an icon overlay. A small but highly effective mod that saves you from accidentally missing daily animal care — critical on mobile where menus are slower to navigate.

All five of these mods are free to download from Nexus Mods and require SMAPI on Android. For a step-by-step installation walkthrough, see our Stardew Valley modding guide. Players who also enjoy deep simulation games on Android should check out Last Day on Earth Survival for a completely different but equally addictive experience.

Yes. You can install SMAPI and mods entirely on your Android device using a file manager app. No PC is required. Download the SMAPI APK and mod zip files on your phone, extract them, and place mod folders in the correct directory.

All mods listed above are free to download from Nexus Mods. SMAPI itself is also free and open source. The only paid component is the official Stardew Valley game, which is required to run mods.

SMAPI Mobile requires Android 8.0 or higher. Most modern Android phones from 2019 onward meet this requirement. Older devices running Android 7 or below cannot run the current SMAPI build.
