I mean, regardless of their intentions, a lot of AAA games do have functionality in their online that doesn't really work with just a Direct IP connection. MMO's are the obvious case and even games with just large-scale multiplayer like Battlefield will be awful if the host is running on a weak PC. Feb 15, 2021 Multiplayer is an optional game mode in which 1–4 players can join the same world through split-screen, over LAN, or by IP address. Multiplayer is available on the PC (Linux/Mac/Windows) and console (PS4/Switch/Xbox One) versions, but not on mobile (iOS/Android) or PS Vita. The player who created the world is the 'host', and the other players.

Stardew Valley Multiplayer Pc

Unlimited Players is an open source project for Stardew Valley which enables servers or hosts to get any set amount of players on their farm. Only the host / server requires the mod to be installed.
Please keep in mind that this not only a work in progress but also in a testing phase.
More is to come and of course everybody is welcome to join the project if they wish. The code is very easy to understand and even the game code of Stardew Valley itself can be understood with a bit of programming knowledge.
Installation Guide:Check the 'Installation' Tab
Latest Test: 27.05.2018 with 9 players (#4)
Source Code:GitHub
Current features
  • Removed hardcoded cabin limit for host
  • Removed hardcoded player limit in multiplayer class
  • Removed hardcoded network limit
Planned features
  • Remove cabin requirement (optional via settings)

A final note:
This mod is being kept simple and doesn't change too much on the gamecode. It's thereby pretty safe from compatibility issues.
Yet the whole MP mode is pretty new so Chucklefish / Concerned Ape are active in changing the MP code - this can lead to unexpected behaviours and changing (planned) features which, if any appear, are fixed and / or adjusted as quick as possible.
Thanks for your understanding.
Remember: Only the host / server requires the mod.

IMPORTANT! Once you host your game, you get asked by your firewall if you with to grant Stardew Valley to access the Internet. You must do this. If you don't, you have to create an inbound rule for Stardew Valley manually in your firewall (open ports or add 'stardew valley.exe'). Otherwise players won't be able to access your server / game.
On this page we list known issues and their solutions. Mind that not every listed issue is caused by this mod.
The whole multiplayer is still in Beta and many issues can only be fixed by the game devs themself.
Issue(s):
  • Crash on relationship tab
  • The scissor rectangle cannot be larger than or outside of the current render target bounds
Reported Solution(s):
  • Install the Social Tab Patch for Unlimited Players by funnysnek (huge thanks!)
  • Play (host & players) in fullscreen and higher / different resolution.
  • Check for players using glitches such as the Item ID as Name glitch.
Issue(s):
  • On creating a new farmer, the 'ok' button is greyed out.
Reported Solution(s):
To fix it you must do the following:
  • Open the save file of the farm
  • Find in the file the new user created, it must be after (already playing users are like Playername)
  • After that, find and replace it with the name of your farm
  • An thats it! That should do the trick.
If you have any doubt just tell me so I can explain it a little more :)
There are other mods like (or alternatives to) Unlimited Players which will be listed on this page.
