Starfield Pastoral

Update Log (English)

Dark Talisman And Witch Questline

• Implemented the Wizard's late-game quest chain from the Dark Talisman opening event through Krobus, the Mutant Bug Lair, the Witch's Swamp, the Henchman, Magic Ink and the final magic-building catalogue unlock.
• Added the Mutant Bug Lair and Witch's Swamp as dedicated gameplay areas with their own biome treatment, music, fishing pools, portals, access seals and monster rules. Dark Talisman, Henchman and Magic Ink progression is tracked independently for every player in multiplayer.
• Added the supplied Henchman, magic catalogue and related world assets, source-style quest feedback, per-player one-time rewards and cutscene/camera support for the new events.

Wizard Buildings

• Added the Wizard's source-style magical catalogue for obtaining placeable Junimo Hut, Earth Obelisk, Water Obelisk, Desert Obelisk, Island Obelisk and Gold Clock items. Purchases grant the selected item directly instead of entering Robin's construction-placement workflow.
• Implemented model-sized placement, rotation, collision and farm ownership checks for the magical buildings. Buildings can be reclaimed with the appropriate tool, drop exactly one item from any occupied cell and now use building-icon hit and destruction particles across their full footprint.
• Implemented functional obelisk warps and restored the Return Scepter to its original single-purpose farm-return behavior while preserving its animated name, enchantment glint and special tooltip styling.
• Implemented Junimo Hut crop harvesting with worker spawning, source-style movement and return behavior, held-item animations, sounds, item storage and raisin support. Improved three-dimensional navigation and harvesting arrival handling around the hut and crops.
• Implemented the Gold Clock's active/inactive states, live hour and minute hands, source-aligned farm protection and a solid full-box collision volume. Corrected model orientation, UV handling, textures and hand pivots.

Farm, Fishing And Runtime Parity

• Reworked daily farm ✨s, stones, existing fallen-log spreading, seasonal grass behavior and fence decay toward the original game rules. Active Gold Clocks suppress the relevant debris and decay processes without introducing unsupported debris blocks.
• Hardened farm lifecycle and offline catch-up with ownership-aware occupancy tracking, targeted temporary chunk leases and deterministic crop, tree and sprinkler plans. Added safe cleanup and instrumentation for expensive farm operations.
• Reworked fishing location resolution and source data for regular areas, festivals, mine floors, the Mutant Bug Lair and Witch's Swamp. Fixed stacked duplicate pools, first-catch festival locking, mine rare-fish chances, random catch groups, year/luck conditions and several multiplayer session edge cases.
• Added Data Map compatibility for external Minecraft and third-party foods so configured items retain their original food behavior while applying Stardew energy and health effects inside Stardew dimensions.

Administration, Compatibility And Verification

• Added /stardew perf start|stop|status|reset for opt-in server performance diagnostics and a persistent action for dismissing the login community announcement. Routine development logging now defaults to INFO.
• Improved synchronized client-content snapshot handling, NPC and cutscene state cleanup, festival/fishing isolation, area protection and several portal, interaction and time-flow edge cases uncovered during the new quest implementation.
• Completed the new Wizard quest and building text across all 12 shipped languages and expanded regression coverage for cutscenes, quest resources, areas, fishing, farm catch-up, performance tracking, external food compatibility, navigation and Gold Clock time display.
• Updated the public mod version to 0.5.2.
