Bundle Highlighter & Item Encyclopedia

Never wonder again "do I still need this for the Community Center?" — this mod highlights items you still need, tells you exactly where they go, and adds an in-game encyclopedia that explains where, when and how to get any item.

Features

Bundle highlighting

• Items that are still needed for Community Center bundles get a gold frame in your inventory, chests, fridge, the bundle menu and the toolbar.
• Quality check: if a bundle needs gold quality and your item is lower, it gets a red frame instead (can be turned off).
• Already donated slots and completed bundles are ignored automatically. Joja route is detected.

Museum highlighting

• Items that can still be donated to Gunther get a purple frame. Already donated items are not highlighted.

Smarter tooltips

• Hover an item to see which bundle(s) need it, the room, the amount and the required quality.
• Museum items get a "can be donated" line.

Item Encyclopedia (press J)

A JEI-style browser with all items, search, category tabs and an "only for bundles" filter. Hover any item to see:

• Description and sell price.
• Where and when to get it, built from the game's own data: fishing spots, crab pots, foraging, crops, fruit trees, monster drops, shops (with prices), machines, crafting/cooking/tailoring recipes, geodes, artifact spots, garbage cans, animals and mining nodes.
• Live fishing chance "right now": calculated by running the game's own fish-selection logic with the current time, weather, your fishing level, daily luck and the rod/bait in your hands.
• Fishing guide: season, time, weather, difficulty, which rods work (Training Rod limit), tackle tips, bait (Targeted / Magic bait) and required fishing level.
• Quality / stars: gold/silver chances for crops (with and without Deluxe Fertilizer) at your Farming level, forage quality at your Foraging level (Botanist), fruit tree quality by age.
• Luck: clearly says when luck does not affect getting the item, and shows today's luck when it does.

Requirements

• Stardew Valley 1.6+
• SMAPI 4.0+
• Optional: Generic Mod Config Menu (in-game settings)

Translations

English and Russian. Other languages fall back to English. Translations are welcome (i18n folder).

Compatibility

Works in single-player and multiplayer (bundle progress is read from the shared world state). Items added by other mods appear in the encyclopedia, with sources shown if they use the standard game data.

Notes

Some sources are hard-coded inside the game rather than in its data files (regular geode contents, mine nodes). For those the mod uses tables checked against the official Stardew Valley Wiki.
