What is a modding badge?

Well if you've never seen one before check out Modding Badges first, who knows, you might find you've already earned some!

How do I make a badge?

This depends, were you thinking of making a new badge to put on the Modding Badges page or did you want to make irl versions of the badges to better enjoy your collection? If you meant irl badges, there are no official guidelines for this so just get creative! SVG files are available for some of the badges if you find printing the normal badges is a bit blurry.

If you want to add to the existing line-up of modding badges I'll go into the style guide now. It's basically only two things: Match the frame colour with the category of badges you're making the badge for, and make sure it looks ok if it's sized (or resized) to 100x100px.

I would recommend if you're making a modding badge for a framework badge you see if you can have a chat with the framework creator to see if they have any preference for what their badge looks like, but otherwise generally speaking when you've finished making one you can just add it to the Modding Badges table.

Still confused? Try asking your questions in the Stardew Modding Discord.

Modding badge templates

The templates below are ones that have been used in existing modding badges, it's mostly for people who are like me and get a little obsessed about making things match. But you can actually get creative with the style as long as the frame is the right colour for the category you're making the badge for and you make a version that's 100x100px. A bunch of the modding badges actually have vectors so people can print them out into real badges if they want though, so you don't need to only make small badges, it just has to be resized for the main wiki page. Make sure you click the images and download the original instead of the preview image!
