One lucky Stardew Valley player may have uncovered the rarest item in the game and the community is confused as to how it was even possible.

Fortunately, they were playing on the computer and,with the help of theStardew Valleycommunityon Reddit, figured out the best way around this immovable boulder was by going through it. Players suggested using the “No Clip” mod, which allowed Key_Purchase_5103 towalk directly through it and retrieve their Gold Pickaxe to take care of it once and for all.
