===Can I make a mod?===
Yes! This guide (and the rest of this wiki) will help you create a simple mod step-by-step. If you follow along, you'll have created a mod! Then you'll just need to make it do what you want.
If you're new to programming: many mod developers start with little or no programming experience. You can certainly learn along the way if you're determined, but you should be prepared for a steep learning curve. Don't be too ambitious at first; it's better to start with a small mod when you're figuring it out. It's easy to become overwhelmed at first and give up. The modding community is very welcoming, so don't be afraid to ask questions!
===Can I make a mod ''without SMAPI''?===
Yep. Many SMAPI mods support '[[Modding:Content_packs|content packs]]', which let you provide JSON text files, images, etc which they use. For example, you can use [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915 Content Patcher] to edit the game's images and data with zero programming needed. The rest of this guide is about creating a new SMAPI mod; for content packs, see the documentation for the mod that'll read it.
===Where can I get help?===
