Grass Starter Information

Grass Starter will instantly place a patch of Grass when used on the ground. Over time, a patch of grass will grow and spread to surrounding tiles on the farm. Grass can be harvested with the Scythe to produce Hay, once a Silo is built. On the 1st of Winter, all grass on the farm will die. Grass Starter can be planted in Winter, but it won't grow and spread to surrounding tiles.

Grass Starter Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [297]. You will then receive the Grass Starter item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [297] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Grass Starter item.
