How To Animation Cancel In Stardew Valley

Animations in Stardew Valley can take a long time, causing you to waste precious minutes in the middle of animations when you could be spending them doing more productive activities. Thankfully, the developer provides a solution to this with animation canceling, which allows you to stop animations from occurring so you can speed through your Stardew Valley run.

In this guide, we will go over how to animation cancel in Stardew Valley so you can get your quests and other activities, including mining, cooking, and farming, done faster.

How To Animation Cancel In Stardew Valley

There are two different methods to animation cancel in Stardew Valley. The first method you can try without downloading any additional software, but it might be a little bit challenging for you to press the button combination fast enough for it to work. That's why we've provided an alternate option to remap the keys using downloadable software.

Using A Key Combination To Animation Cancel

On PC, all you'll need to do to cancel an animation is press Right-Shift + Del + R together.

Using Software To Animation Cancel

If Right-Shift + Del + R just isn't cutting it for you, you might want to consider downloading some software that will allow you to remap your keys so you can animation cancel with just one press.

1. Download the AutoHotkey software.
2. Right-click on your desktop and scroll down to 'New.'
3. Click 'AutoHotkey Script.'
4. Create a new AutoHotkey Script file. What name you choose does not matter.
5. Copy and paste in this script:

#IfWinActive Stardew Valley

x::

While GetKeyState("x","P")

{

 sendEvent {LButton Down}

 sleep 10

 sendEvent {LButton Up}

 sleep 125

 sendEvent {r Down}{Delete Down}{RShift Down}

 sleep 10

sendEvent {r Up}{Delete Up}{RShift Up}

}

sleep 30

return

Once you've done this, you can simply press the 'X' button when playing Stardew Valley to cancel your animation. If you want to change the button from 'X' to something else, just change the "X" in the code to your button of choice.

That's how you cancel an animation in Stardew Valley. You'll be able to do so without any external software, but downloading a third-party extension will allow you to choose which button you press to do so.
