If you ever feel uncomfortable with any of these commands, you’re free to customize them as you want. Although this might not be necessary, it’s always a good feature to have just in case you feel like changing something here or there. If you’re looking to have a blast with the Stardew Valley 1.6 update, this will definitely come in handy.
