Given the vocal nature of the community, it stands to reason that developer ConcernedApe has taken some cues from players over the years, and one fan has just discovered proof. Throughout its nearly decade-long lifespan, the fantastic farming RPG has been expanded upon with a wealth of new items and content for players to discover, and the latest 1.6 Update is no different. The Iridium Scythe, which was introduced in the latest major patch, is one such addition that was clearly based on an intuitive suggestion from a dedicated fan.
Posted to Reddit by user devourerofsugar, the fan unearthed an old post from 2021 by TzarOfMinecraft which suggests the inclusion of an Iridium Scythe that would have a 100% chance of turning cut grass into hay and would deal 20 damage when striking an enemy.
While that may seem like a coincidence, devourerofsugar pointed out that the version of the tool that exists in does exactly that. It's still unconfirmed whether this old post played a role in the creation of the Iridium Scythe, but it certainly suggests that ConcernedApe is paying attention to the community.
While the stats of both the pitched Iridium Scythe and the version that made it into the game are identical, it's worth noting that the manner in which the tool is acquired varies significantly. In TzarOfMinecraft's version, it would be acquired by reaching Level 125 in the Skull Cavern and right-clicking on an Iridium statue of a Grim Reaper, unlocking the scythe in the process. In reality, the Iridium Scythe can only be unlocked by entering the Mastery Cave, which was also added in Update 1.6, and choosing the Farming Mastery option.
This isn't the first time ConcernedApe appears to have used suggestions from the community to improve. The developer is known for taking particularly excellent mods that substantially add to the game and making them an official part of the experience. In the 1.6 Update alone, the Mushroom Log and Dehydrator items both originally started out as fan-made mods that proved so popular amongst the community that they were added to the game for those who may lack the knowledge and experience to install custom add-ons.
In any case, the existence of the Iridium Scythe, which currently stands as the most powerful version of the tool, is fantastic news for those players who love to farm animals.The ability to turn any clump of grass into hay saves plenty of cash in the long run and eliminates the need to purchase more of the valuable resources from Marnie continually. It takes a while to eventually earn it, but putting in the work will yield plenty of rewards.

A Stardew Valley fan recently shared an impressive 3D-printed recreation of Jojamart with the community. This creation caught the attention of fellow Stardew Valley fans, who praised its attention to detail and creativity.
A Stardew Valley player has shared a bizarre moment in the game that saw their farmer swallowed up by their own auto-grabber. The odd scene was undoubtedly confusing when it happened, but it's also a unique Stardew Valley moment that's funny to watch.
Stardew Valley's Skull Cavern is no joke, and one player who shared their unfortunate experience knows that all too well. Any Stardew Valley player entering the advanced dungeon should prepare for the worst, but chances are many players haven't had to deal with facing something quite this panic-inducing.
The 1.6 Update for introduced plenty of new features into the game and one of them, the bookseller, has just become even better thanks to the work of a talented fan. Appearing twice every season on random dates, the bookseller floats into Pelican Town and dishes out his wares to the farmer, who stands to gain some handy stat boosts if they purchase his guides. While there are already just under 35 different books that can be purchased, one player took it one step further by introducing even more to the merchant's stock.
A Stardew Valley player is sharing a discovery they made in the game after having spent 250 hours playing. Stardew Valley contains many secrets, and some of its game mechanics go unnoticed by fans, no matter how long they've been playing.
A Stardew Valley player who went through the painstaking task of opening 999 Omni Geodes in the game has shown what they got for their efforts. The result is intriguing for fans who have never opened this many of the Omni Geodes, or those who want to see Stardew Valley's probabilities in action.
A Stardew Valley player has pointed out that the game would hugely benefit from letting the player grow lemons. Stardew Valley's 1.6 update added a lot of new content and even some new crops to the game, but lemons weren't among them.
players have been romancing snarky, wannabe photographer Haley since the game came out, but queer players have been celebrating their love for the bachelorette with some edits set to Chappell Roan's «Good Luck, Babe!» The song is from the perspective of a woman talking to her former lover, who's in denial about her attraction to the narrator, instead opting to continue dating a man. From the first Flower Dance, most players will believe Haley has her eyes set on Alex, the stereotypical masculine choice of the game's bachelors, creating a fictional love triangle parallel to that in the song.
After a couple of months of consistent updates for , ConcernedApe has released yet another patch that adjusts the game and while it may not be massive in terms of content, it should make a particular kind of farmer very happy. While the farming RPG may be nearly a decade old, it continues to be one of the best-supported video games in recent memory as its creator continues to listen to the community's feedback. The recent 1.6 Update was one of the biggest expansions to date, so it stands to reason that some bugs need to be squashed.
A Stardew Valley player has discovered that an item currently available in the base game was suggested by another fan years ago. The discovery is just one indication of how ConcernedApe listens to fans and often implements ideas that are suggested for Stardew Valley's future updates.
A Stardew Valley fan is sharing their concept for a Joja mod that could add a lot to the current experience of siding with Joja Corporation. While Stardew Valley has always had an option for players who would rather side with Joja Corporation, the route has been criticized in the past, as some players have felt there isn't much incentive to do a Joja Corporation runthrough. While that might be intentional, mods can always help to change the experience in the more dramatic ways that fans are hoping for.
Update 1.6 for Stardew Valley added tons of new content to the game, with one player encountering a rather depressing line of dialogue from Robin. Several patches for Stardew Valley Update 1.6 have included even more additions to the beloved indie game, and fans have been sharing their unique and unexpected discoveries with fellow community members.
