Recently, a player paid tribute to these in-game locations by making real-life replicas.

For the Abandoned House, they added details likeStardew Valley’s Hat Mousepeeking out from the front door and a small sign that said “hats” posted on the side of a dilapidated wall.
How Were These Stardew Valley Dioramas Made?
Beyond sharing several pictures of the finished designs, PuppyPotter27 revealed details about their dioramas in the comments section. According to the creator, the dioramas were composed predominately of foamboard, cardstock, paperboard, and foam sheets. While the level of detail made the Hat Mouse house andWizard’s Tower fromStardew Valleyseem rather large, the creator revealed they were quite small. The base of the Wizard’s Tower measured 7.5cm x 7.5cm with a height of 13.5cm to the top of the weathervane, and the Hat Mouse diorama was 15cm x 10cm with the roof measuring 7cm tall.
