Stardew Valley isn’t a linear game by any means, but there is a main questline of sorts. You will eventually run into its rundown Community Center when you move to Pelican Town. Joja is currently in the process of trying to buy the building, but through some Junimo magic, you have the chance to fix it up and send the twisted company packing.
Stardew Valley: 15 Tips For Farming Iridium In Year One
Iridium is one of the most valuable crafting materials in Stardew Valley. Here’s how to farm it.
Sadly, completing the bundles is no easy task. Every completed bundle will lead to rewards, and finishing a room will unlock something new for the rest of your game. Here, you can learn about every bundle, as well as how to complete them all. First, let’s go over unlocking the Community Center.
Updated February 10, 2024 by Jacqueline Zalace: Completing the Community Center in Starday Valley can be tedious; we’ve updated the formatting of this guide slightly to help you complete the bundles as quickly as possible.
The Community Center is easy to unlock; simply walk into town between 8 am and 1 pm from Spring 5 onward to get a cutscene with Lewis. He will ask you to investigate what he believes to be a rat problem in the old building.
Upon entering, you will find an old book in a strange language. Visiting the Wizard will trigger a cutscene that will allow you to read the book and start donating to the Craft Room Bundle.
After donating a certain amount of items, the
other bundles
will appear at different locations around the Community Center.
To make completing the Community Center easier, the bundles below are divided by room and the different bundle goals. The items listed next to the bundle’s name are the completion rewards that you will receive after donating every item.
Above, you can check out the full layout of the Community Center, with every bundle location highlighted. Once a bundle has been completed, the room/surrounding area will transform into its appearance in the image.
In the main room, you can find the Fish Tank bundle to the right of the fireplace. Heading through the right hallway, you can find the Bulletin Board, with the Vault on the top and the Boiler Room all the way to the right. Down the left hallway, you can find the Crafts Room on the bottom and the Pantry on top.
The Crafts Room Bundle
The Crafts Room is one of the easiest bundles to complete as it relies on you turning in easy-to-forage items. The only catch is that it can’t be completed until you’ve seen all four seasons.
Completing this bundle will get the bridge in the hills repaired.
Exotic Bundle
The Exotic Bundle is a bit different as it will give you a large assortment of items to choose from. To complete the bundle, donate five of the items below to complete this bundle; you can mix and match for completion.
- Cactus
- Coconut
- Cave Carrot
- Red Mushroom
- Purple Mushroom
- Maple Syrup
- Oak Resin
- Pine Tar
- Morel
The easiest items to acquire here are the Maple Syrup, Oak Resin, and Pine Tar (all three of which can be tapped from trees around Stardew Valley), and the Cave Carrot (which can be found in the Mines).
After completion, you will be awarded
five Autumn’s Bounty
.
The Pantry Bundle
The Pantry will require you to hone your farming skills and grow a wide variety of crops throughout the year.
Completing this bundle will allow you to use the Greenhouse on your farm.
The Boiler Room Bundle
To finish this Community Center bundle, you will find yourself having to explore The Mines and process ore. Completing this bundle will activate the minecarts around town, letting you fast-travel around town to a certain extent.
The Fish Tank Bundle
Predictably, this bundle requires that you take up fishing. The charts below contain each fish required to complete the bundle, along with what season they will appear in.
Completing this bundle lets you start Panning in the mountains – you’ll have to enter the Mountains to see a cutscene with Willy before you can do this.

- Lobster
- Crab
- Mussel
- Cockle
- Crayfish
- Snail
- Periwinkle
- Shrimp
- Clam

You can complete this bundle without actually crafting any Crab Pots yourself – you can get

are potential drops from crab-type enemies in the Mines.
If you do make some Crab Pots, they can be placed in freshwater or saltwater. Some fish, like Lobster, can only be lured in by Crab Pots in the Ocean.

The Bulletin Board Bundle requires you to find specialty items and will help you become closer with the townsfolk, adding a whole 500 friendship points with every non-datable NPC.

For this bundle, you simply need to pay gold; there is no having to grow crops or forage for items. Upon completion, Pam will start driving the town bus again, letting you travel to the desert.

The Abandoned JojaMart Bundle
The Missing Bundle will unlock on a rainy night after a cutscene of lightning striking the abandoned JojaMart plays. To complete the bundle, you can pick any five of the following items.
As a reward for completing the Missing Bundle, you will
unlock the Movie Theater
. Here, you can invite villagers to watch movies with you, and play the crane mini-game for a chance to win some unique items.
What Are Remixed Bundles?
When starting a new game, you can choose to remix your bundles. This will essentially randomize some bundles, giving you new items to gather. There are no set of bundles that appear for all players, but you may get ones like the Brewer’s Bundle, which requires Mead, Pale Ale, Wine, Juice, and Green Tea.
Remixed bundles are great for those who have completed the Community Center in a previous save. With randomized bundles, you can refresh the Stardew Valley experience while still completing the story.
