⚡ Max Energy Buff

The Max Energy Buff is a temporary effect in Stardew Valley that increases the player’s maximum energy. While active, it raises the energy cap above the usual limit, allowing more actions such as farming, mining, chopping, and fishing before exhaustion sets in. This buff is especially useful for long workdays or extended trips into the Mines and Skull Cavern.

Like all buffs, Max Energy Buffs do not stack — consuming another will replace the current effect.
