๐ฃ Cherry Bomb
The Cherry Bomb is a craftable explosive item in Stardew Valley. It creates a small explosion that breaks rocks, damages enemies, and can clear debris. As the weakest bomb type, it is often used in early-game mining when stronger explosives are not yet available.
๐ Crafting
- Recipe: 4 Copper Ore, 1 Coal
- Unlocked: Immediately available (no special requirements).
๐ฅ Effects
- Explosion Radius: Small (3 tiles).
- Destroys rocks, ore nodes, and debris within the radius.
- Deals moderate damage to monsters caught in the blast.
- Can accidentally harm the player if they are too close.
๐ Uses
- Quickly clearing rocks in the Mines or Skull Cavern.
- Damaging groups of enemies in tight spaces.
- Early-game substitute for upgraded Pickaxes when mining.
๐ก Strategy
Pro Tip: Save Cherry Bombs for clusters of rocks — they’re cost-effective for breaking nodes without wasting energy on your Pickaxe.
- Craft them early to speed up progress in the Mines.
- Use carefully — standing too close will cause self-damage.
- Upgrade to regular Bombs and Mega Bombs later for larger explosions and efficiency.
