Stardew Valley Player Designs Their Farm to Look Like Famous Painting

A Stardew Valley fan has shared an incredible recreation of Starry Night that they built on their farm in-game. The piece of art has drawn attention from fellow Stardew Valley players for the incredible concept and execution of the design and tribute to Van Gogh’s iconic painting.

Stardew Valley farmers have come up with lots of ways to decorate their farms over the years, ranging from the intended ways to methods only possible through mods. While the cozy life sim offers players plenty to do outside of their home base, some have seen their farms as a blank canvas waiting to be turned into something incredible, like this particular player.

Reddit user stelllajo shared their creation with fans on the Stardew Valley subreddit, showing off their incredible recreation of Van Gogh’s famous painting, Starry Night. The art piece does a fantastic job of recreating the original image of the painting, all through the use of a variety of items and buildings. Everything from sheds to casks to hay has been used to create a sort of pixelized version of the image, spreading out over the entirety of their farm aside from an outline they built using paths. The creation has stunned fellow players, not only for the idea that they came up with, but how well they did it.

How Was Starry Night Made in Stardew Valley?

While building something like this might be possible through a careful combination of perfectly placed crops and props, the user had a little help with the way of mods. The fan notes that they used the CJB Item Spawner mod as well as the NoClip mod. The item spawner, as the name implies, allows players to place just about anything wherever they like on their farm, so this user didn’t have to go through the pain of manually crafting, purchasing, or growing each item. NoClip, on the other hand, allows users to move anywhere on the screen, so boundaries typically in place can be ignored. However, even with the mods, the effort took a whopping 8 hours.

For Stardew Valley players who might be interested in attempting something similar, the aforementioned mods can both be acquired via NexusMods. Stelllajo has previously shared other impressive creations and artworks they’ve made on their farm, ranging from classic Stardew farm builds to things like a giant Pride flag. It’s clear that the player has plenty of creativity, and with any luck, they’ll share more of what they dream up with the community in the future.
