Stardew Valley Farmer umbenennen
Upload your save, type a new name, download the edited file. Rewrites the
name tag inside the player block — nothing else.Ziehe deine Spielstand-Datei hierher
oder klick zum Durchsuchen — suche nach FarmerName_Id in deinem Ordner Saves
Dein Spielstand verlässt diesen Browser nie.
Lesen, Bearbeiten und Herunterladen passieren alle auf deinem Gerät. Nichts wird hochgeladen, an einen Server gesendet oder irgendwo außerhalb deines Browsers gespeichert.
So funktioniert es
- 1. Finde deinen Spielstand in %AppData%\StardewValley\Saves (Windows) oder ~/.config/StardewValley/Saves (Mac/Linux). Jede Farm hat einen Ordner mit dem Namen FarmerName_Id.
- 2. Lade die Datei hoch ohne Erweiterung in diesem Ordner (mit dem gleichen Namen wie der Ordner). Überspringe SaveGameInfo und alle _old Sicherungen.
- 3. Type the new name. 32 chars max.
- 4. Herunterladen + ersetzen. Die bearbeitete Datei kommt mit dem gleichen Namen zurück. Lege sie in den gleichen Ordner, ersetze das Original. (Sichere es vorher, wenn du sicher sein möchtest.)
Häufig gestellte Fragen
- Can't I rename my farmer in-game?
- You can, but it's gated: the Shrine of Illusions in the Wizard's Tower basement re-runs character customization (name included) for 500g, and the basement only unlocks at four hearts of friendship with the Wizard. This tool does the same rename for free, without loading the game or touching any of your other character choices.
- Is this safe? Will the file still work in-game?
- Yes. The tool rewrites the <name> tag inside the <player> block and writes everything else back unchanged, byte for byte. Stardew loads the file normally. Back up first if you want belt-and-braces safety; the original is what you uploaded.
- Does my save get uploaded anywhere?
- No. The file is read, edited, and downloaded entirely in your browser. Nothing crosses the network. You can verify with browser DevTools → Network tab.
- Will NPCs and dialogue use the new name?
- Yes. Stardew reads the name from this tag wherever it appears — letters from Mom and Dad, NPC dialogue, the title bar, the chat window. The change is global.
- Why does the load-game menu still show my old name?
- The save-select screen reads from the second file in your save folder, SaveGameInfo, which this tool doesn't touch. The game rewrites that file the first time you sleep, so the menu catches up after one in-game night — everything inside the game itself uses the new name immediately.
- Will my save folder be renamed too?
- No. The folder name is set when the save was first created and never changes — Stardew identifies saves by folder name, so renaming the folder would orphan the save. Keep the folder and file names as-is; only the in-game display name changes.
- Does this also rename other players in a multiplayer save?
- No. The tool only touches the host's <player> block. Farmhand farmers live under <farmhands> and are not affected. Each farmhand would need to be handled separately.
- Does this work on console or mobile?
- Consoles, no — PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch don't expose save files. Mobile, yes: Android and iOS use the same save format as PC. On Android the save folder is Android/data/com.chucklefish.stardewvalley/files/Saves (the files may carry a .bin extension — keep it when you replace them). On iOS, open the Files app and go to On My iPhone → Stardew Valley.
- What characters are allowed?
- Letters, numbers, spaces, and most punctuation — Stardew accepts the full Unicode BMP. Names are capped at 32 characters here (the in-game UI shows ~12 cleanly; longer names work but may visually overflow). Newlines and other control characters are rejected.
