Stardew Valley Cheats — Money, Item IDs & Debug Commands
Important disclaimer
These are official ConcernedApe debug commands unlocked via allowChatCheats — not third-party trainers. Back up your save before enabling. Achievements may be disabled for that save file.
Stardew Valley 1.6.9 added official chat cheats built into the game — enable allowChatCheats in your save, press T, and use /money or /debug item. No SMAPI required on PC. This page covers the enable steps, commands, and the item IDs players search most.
Stardew Valley cheat commands — money & item IDs (1.6+)
Since update 1.6.9, ConcernedApe added official in-game chat cheats — no SMAPI required. Enable them once in your save file, then press T and type commands like /money or /debug item. This page lists the enable steps, money cheat, item spawn syntax, and the most searched item IDs.
Enable cheats (one-time)
Close the game. Open your save folder (%AppData%\StardewValley\Saves\[FarmName]_[ID]\), edit the save XML in Notepad, find allowChatCheats and change false to true. Save and back up first.
Use commands in-game
Load the save, press T to open chat, type a command and press Enter.
- Back up your save before editing allowChatCheats — bad XML edits can corrupt the file.
- Cheats can disable Steam achievements for that save.
- In multiplayer, only the host's save controls whether cheats work.
- Console/mobile: editing save files may not be possible — cheats are primarily a PC feature.

SMAPI vs built-in cheats (1.6.9+)
Before 1.6.9, debug commands required SMAPI's Console Commands mod. The built-in allowChatCheats system replaces that for PC players who can edit their save XML. SMAPI mods still offer more commands, but /money and /debug item work vanilla once enabled.
- Built-in: allowChatCheats + /money, /debug item
- SMAPI: optional, more debug commands via console window
- Console/mobile: save editing usually not possible
