Joining a Server
How to connect to a JunimoServer-hosted farm.
What You Need
- Stardew Valley (Steam or GOG)

- Any required mods (ask your admin)
Invite Codes
| Platform | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Starts with "S" | S123456789 |
| GOG Galaxy | Starts with "G" | G1234567890ABCDEF |

When both Steam and GOG codes are available, Steam is recommended for better connection reliability (~99% vs ~50% success rate).
How to Connect

- Click Co-op → Join LAN Game

- Click OK
Password-Protected Servers
If the server requires a password, you'll spawn in a lobby. Type in chat:
!login serverpasswordOn success, you'll warp to your cabin.
WARNING
Don't drop items while in the lobby — they will be lost.
First Time vs Returning
- First time: A cabin is created for you automatically
- Returning: You spawn at your last saved position
Connection Methods
| Method | Platform | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steam SDR | Steam | Most reliable (~99% success) |
| GOG Galaxy | GOG | Works through most networks (~50% success) |
| Direct IP | Any | Requires port forwarding |
Most servers use Steam SDR or GOG Galaxy — no special setup needed on your end.
