Complete Guide to the Stardew Valley Community Center

Complete Guide to the Stardew Valley Community Center

Reviving the Stardew Valley Community Center to its previous state is an enormous undertaking. Every room is in total disrepair, and you must gather a range of items and products from all over Pelican Town to offer to the Junimos so they can restore them. The Community Center comprises of seven rooms, each containing up to six bundles. Here is a comprehensive guide to completing them all.

Unlocking the Community Center in Stardew Valley

The Community Center can be accessed on the fifth day of Spring. Starting then, every time you visit the town from 8 AM to 1 PM, Lewis will take you to the abandoned center. Upon discovering the peculiar Junimo creatures inside, Lewis dismisses them as rats and the scene concludes.

Upon conversing with Lewis, the building will continue to be accessible for your exploration at any time. It is recommended to read the peculiar plaque located in the bottom right room during your visit. The following day, you will receive a message from the Wizard inviting you to his Tower. There, he will provide you with a mysterious potion that grants you the power to decipher the Junimo language and embark on your journey to complete the Community Center.

Rewards for Completing the Community Center in Stardew Valley

The task of rebuilding the Community Center may seem daunting, but the rewards are well worth it as it unlocks a new island in Stardew Valley. This achievement also leads to a quest with Willy, in which you work together to restore his old boat. Once you have gathered 5 Battery Packs, 200 Hardwood, and 5 Iridium Bars to fix the boat, you can then purchase a ticket to Ginger Island for 1000g.

Craft Room Bundles

The Community Center’s Crafts Room is the initial room that you will be able to enter. Although it is one of the simplest rooms to finish, it is also one of the most time-consuming because it takes a full year for each item to become accessible.

Luckily, the necessary items are all easily found in their respective seasons throughout Pelican Town. This means you won’t have to search too hard to gather them all.
