✧ Junimo Jams ✧

Your Music. Your Farm. Your Vibe.

"Why pause your cozy farm life to check a song title, when the music can flow right through the valley?"

🌿 The Story

You’re watering your crops as the sun sets over Pelican Town, and a perfect song starts playing. You want to know what it is. You Alt+Tab to check, the cozy immersion breaks, you miss the sunset, and Pierre’s shop is closed by the time you tab back in.

Never again.

Junimo Jams (formerly Spotify Valley) is a premium, lightweight, and highly customizable in-game HUD that bridges the gap between your farm and your music. It dynamically fetches track details, high-res covers, and provides full media control—all integrated seamlessly into Stardew Valley’s gorgeous interface.

No matter if you use Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, or high-fidelity local players like TIDAL—Junimo Jams has you covered.

💬 A Message From the Developer

"I built the original version of this mod because I kept dying in the Skull Cavern while alt-tabbing to check a song name in my playlist. It was a tragedy. This mod saved my farm, and I hope it brings a touch of melody to yours."
