ACNH Update 1.4.1 removed Star Trees

You can no longer create Star / Item Trees post 1.4.1.

I will leave this page up for people who don't want to update quite yet, but be aware, none of this will work if you update to 1.4.1.

Pre-1.4.1 update content starts here

Great question! Let's start with explaining what a "Star Tree" is.

A Star Tree (or Item Tree) is a hacked Money Tree, swapping the Bell bags out for Star Fragments or other items such as Heart Crystals or Nook Miles Tickets.

Because it is a Money Tree at heart, once the tree is shaken, the items fall off and do not grow back. Fruit Trees do not work in the same way as Money Trees, and thus cannot be edited into Star Trees.

Now that we got that out of the way:

NHSE Method of creating Star Trees

Requirements:

• A computer
• JKSV homebrew (to back up your save to your SD Card)
• NHSE (click here to download a compiled version)

Steps:

• Make a backup of the save you extracted with JKSV
• Create a Money Tree in your Inventory. It must be a Money Tree in order for it to work.
• The "Count" is the ID of the item you want to place on the tree. It is not limited to Star Fragments, you can place anything on the tree.
• For the items to actually appear on the tree, the "uses" must be set to 32

To find the ID of an item, you can reference this list arranged by Mopquill.

For other languages other than English, the original .json with item names with IDs by imthe666st is here

For NHSE, you must convert these item IDs to decimal

Here is a calculator to do so

If you want a Large Star Fragment on the tree, the ID in hex is 1760, so the count you enter should be 5984

If you want to place Star Trees in the Field Item editor, you will want to place PltTreeMoney4 instead of just "Money Tree"

EdiZon Method of creating Star Trees

Requirements:

• EdiZon homebrew
• Tesla Menu
• EdiZon overlay
• A way to put a text file on your SD card

The current Build ID for ACNH version 1.3.1 is E43B24AF5D84F44C.

Whenever ACNH has an update, change the Build ID and wait and see if any cheats were broken. Sometimes minor updates don't affect inventory cheats, so changing the file name might be all you have to do.

Items are stored as 8 bytes and they are set up as following:

• 1 byte for wrapping
• 1 byte padding
• 2 bytes item ID
• 2 bytes durability
• 2 bytes quantity / custom

Breakdown of an item code (for Slot 1, on version 1.3.1)

Thanks to imthe666st for how EdiZon cheat data is structured for inventory item edits.

• In place of XXXX, the Item ID for the Money Tree is 114A
• In place of YYYY, you need the hex ID for the item you want to put in the tree.
  You can reference this list for the proper item ID. For Large Star Fragments, this is 1760
• In place of ZZ, like in the NHSE method, durability / "uses" will also have to be set. This should be 20 if you want items to sit on the tree.
In place of WW, you can wrap the item (like a present) setting WW to one of these numbers, or set it 00 to keep it unwrapped

Black: 3D
Blue: 25
Brown: 35
Chartreuse: 0D
Gold: 31
Gray: 39
Green: 11
Light-Blue: 19
Mint: 15
Navy: 21
Orange: 09
Pink: 05
Purple: 1D
Red: 2D
White: 29
Yellow: 01
Balloon Gift (red): 02
Delivery: 43


NOTE: By default 'Delivery' shows the item name. to make it not show the item name you would use 03

You can add 40 to any value listed above to make the name of the item show even when wrapped and not the name "present".
For example, to get Navy wrapping paper that shows the name of the item you put 61.

The final result for a Large Star Fragment Tree in Slot 1 of the inventory would be

[Slot 1 Large Star Fragment Tree (for v1.3.1)]
08100000 ABA526A8 00201760 0000114A

For other slots, or adding button triggers, you can use Mopquill's code generator site with the special parameters of the Item Tree in mind to modify any codes.

ACNH Poker Method of creating Star Trees

Requirements:

• A computer
• An internet connection enabled on your Switch (90DNS works fine)
• sys-botbase OR usb-botbase
• ACNHPoker (duh)

This GBATemp thread will be more up to date than this site in terms of the variations of ACNH Pokers, so if you want to grab a version that is more recent than the ones listed here, I would check there.

There are several different iterations of ACNH Poker, so I will recommend using the most up to date ones as of writing this (July 3rd, 2020).

All following info on each version is just mirrored from the GBATemp thread mentioned above just listed here in case you don't want to leave the comfort of this website.

Both versions of ACNH Poker listed above can handle Item Trees natively, so I'll describe the process for each.

Enter Hex Mode to do Item Trees more easily.

FabioCapela v4b

Do note this version does not support version 1.3.0 currently

You only need to input either the Hex ID for the items you want in the branches OR the Decimal ID. You don't need to figure out both.

You will need to reference the Item ID list to place items that aren't Star Fragments in the branches, but it's rather straightforward otherwise.

Items to place on branches

I assembled a nice table of pretty looking items you can place on the branches of the trees other than just Star Fragments. Remember, NHSE takes decimal and (mostly) everything else takes hexadecimal.
