The Magma Cap is a mushroom found via foraging throughout the Volcano Dungeon. It can be confused at a distance with a False Magma Cap. False Magma Caps have a 99% chance to drop a Magma Cap when slain. It can also be acquired from a Stingray Fish Pond with a population of at least 4.

Magma Caps can be used to purchase Pineapple Seeds from the Island Trader (1 Pineapple Seed for 1 Magma Cap).

Magma Cap 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 [851]. You will then receive the Magma Cap 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 [851] 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 Magma Cap item.
