StarfieldPastoral | 星野牧歌

StarfieldPastoral is an unofficial, non-commercial fan project for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.

It is built around one clear goal: bringing the feeling of a handcrafted valley life into Minecraft through farming, animals, fishing, NPC routines, seasonal progression, and a world designed to feel lived in rather than randomly generated.

This is not a generic farm-themed content pack. StarfieldPastoral is being developed as a broader life-sim experience with a handcrafted world space, daily rhythm, progression systems, and expanding feature coverage across the whole valley gameplay loop.

How to Play

StarfieldPastoral is not a mod where everything starts immediately in the valley.
Your first steps begin in the Overworld, and the Stardew Valley dimension is unlocked through the Wizard questline.

1. Find the Wizard Tower in the Overworld

Your first objective is to locate the Wizard Tower in the Overworld.

Use the Wizard Tower Compass while you are in the Overworld.
It points toward the nearest Wizard Tower structure and serves as your main guide for starting the mod properly.

2. Meet the Wizard and unlock the valley route

Once you reach the Wizard Tower, talk to the Wizard and follow his early questline.

To stabilize the dimensional rift, the Wizard requires an Eye of Ender.
After you bring it to him and complete this quest, the route into the Stardew Valley world is properly unlocked.

This is the point where the real StarfieldPastoral gameplay opens up.

3. Enter the Stardew Valley dimension

After the Wizard quest is complete, you can enter the Stardew Valley dimension and begin your life there.

This dimension is a large handcrafted valley space built to recreate a broad Stardew-style gameplay experience inside Minecraft.
It is not just a themed biome or a small side area. It is the main world space for the mod's farm-life progression.

4. Start building your new farm life

Once inside the valley, you will gain access to a large farm and begin developing it over time.

From there, your gameplay loop expands into many connected systems, including:

• farming crops and building up your land
• raising animals in coops and barns
• gathering hay, managing feeding, and improving animal care
• fishing across different places and conditions
• interacting with villagers through schedules, dialogue, mail, and relationship systems
• earning money through farming, fishing, animal products, shipping, and other economic activities
• exploring the mines for ores, materials, danger, and progression rewards
• improving your equipment and pushing deeper into the valley's long-term progression

5. Grow your economy and progress through the valley

The core of StarfieldPastoral is long-term progression.

You are not just visiting the valley. You are expected to settle into it, grow your farm, improve your tools and facilities, expand your income sources, meet the townspeople, unlock more systems, and gradually push further into mining, production, and exploration.

As your farm develops, more of the full valley-life loop begins to open up:

• crop growth and seasonal routine
• animal care and produce processing
• fishing progression
• NPC-related content
• shops, travel systems, and utility features
• mine and adventure progression
• community-center-style content foundations
• broader life-sim systems tied to time, overnight settlement, and daily rhythm

6. Multiplayer is part of the intended experience

StarfieldPastoral is also being built with multiplayer farm play in mind.

That means the experience is not only about solo progression.
You can treat the valley as a shared world space, build farm life together, divide work between players, and develop a cooperative rural economy over time.

In Short

If you want to play StarfieldPastoral the intended way, the flow is:

1. Start in the Overworld
2. Use the Wizard Tower Compass to find the Wizard Tower
3. Meet the Wizard and complete his early quest
4. Bring him an Eye of Ender to stabilize the dimensional route
5. Enter the Stardew Valley dimension
6. Build your farm, meet villagers, fish, raise animals, make money, explore the mines, and keep progressing

StarfieldPastoral is designed as a full valley-life gameplay experience inside Minecraft, with the Stardew Valley dimension acting as the center of that journey.

Why It Stands Out

StarfieldPastoral focuses on atmosphere, routine, and progression.

Instead of only adding themed blocks or isolated mechanics, it aims to build a cohesive rural gameplay experience:

• crop growth and farm progression
• barns, coops, hay flow, feed troughs, and pasture behavior
• fishing systems with location rules and treasure tables
• NPC schedules, dialogue, mail, friendship-linked content, and event triggers
• overnight settlement, time flow, pass-out handling, and daily-cycle systems
• mines, weather, interiors, utility machines, shops, warps, and more expanding content foundations

The goal is not just to look similar. The goal is to make the world feel like it has a rhythm.

Current State

The project is in active alpha development.

It already has a broad playable foundation, but it is not yet a full parity release. Existing systems are being expanded while older systems continue to be refined for stronger gameplay consistency and better behavioral detail.

If you want to follow a project that is actively pushing toward a richer farm-life experience inside Minecraft, this is the stage where that foundation is already visible and rapidly growing.

Before You Download

• Minecraft version: 1.21.1
• Loader: NeoForge
• Recommended NeoForge version: 21.1.217
• Java: 21
• Project status: Alpha
• This project is still under active development and may change frequently between versions

Optional integrations may work better when companion mods such as JEI or Curios are present, but normal use is not centered around requiring a large dependency stack unless a specific version states otherwise.

中文简介

StarfieldPastoral（星野牧歌）是一个基于 NeoForge 的 Minecraft 1.21.1 非商业同人项目。

它想做的不是简单加入一些“农场主题内容”，而是在 Minecraft 里真正建立起一个有节奏、有生活感、有成长循环的鹈鹕镇养老式生活体验。

在这里，你能看到的不只是作物和建筑风格，还包括一整套围绕农场生活展开的玩法基础：

• 作物种植与农场成长循环
• 畜棚、鸡舍、干草等等还原的畜牧业
• 钓鱼规则、鱼类分布与宝箱奖励系统
• NPC 日程、对话、邮件、关系内容与事件触发
• 时间推进、过夜结算、体力透支与日常节奏系统
• 矿洞、天气、室内空间、商店、传送与生产设施等持续扩展内容

目前项目仍处于 Alpha 开发阶段，已经具备较大范围的可玩基础，但还不是完整的全面完成版本。后续版本会继续补全内容覆盖，并持续细化现有系统的表现与一致性。

如果你想在 Minecraft 里体验一个更偏田园生活、慢节奏成长、强调日常循环与山谷氛围的模组项目，星野牧歌就是朝这个方向认真推进的一次尝试。

这是一个非官方、非商业同人项目，与 ConcernedApe、Mojang、Microsoft 或 Modrinth 均无官方关联。
