LEGO Stardew Valley Set Recreates the Entire Pelican Town

Published:

A Stardew Valley fan has recreated the entire Pelican Town using LEGO bricks in a 75,000-piece model, and development studio ConcernedApe even got involved in the project.

The build premiered at BrickCon 2024 and includes all the iconic buildings like the Wizard’s Tower, Community Center, JojaMart, and of course the player’s farm. A giant version of the Stardew Valley title screen was built out of LEGO bricks and placed behind the model as well.

“Another favorite of mine is the Wizard’s Tower. I managed to get the shape I wanted, including the pointed door and the vines growing on the sides, the conical roof in blue, everything.”

The effort certainly impressed the LEGO community, as the Stardew Valley build won the People’s Choice award at BrickCon and even attracted the game’s creator. Eric Barone, the one-man programmer behind ConcernedApe, showed up to admire the recreation of his own work, which Jensen said was “even bigger news than the award.”

Stardew Valley is a beloved farming simulator mixed with RPG elements that was called a masterpiece in IGN’s updated 10/10 review for 2024. “Eight years of updates have made Stardew Valley more than just a cozy farming sim, it’s a modern classic with an endless list of enticing activities to do and a deeply satisfying time-management challenge to take on,” we said.

However, these updates have slowed down work on ConcernedApe’s next game, Haunted Chocolatier. As Barone said in August, he hadn’t worked on it “for a while” due to the great 1.6 update.
