Do Rocks Respawn in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Answered

Rocks do in fact respawn in Animal Crossing New Horizons. It seems that they respawn each day just like the rest of the resources on your island. Breaking rocks will net you certain crafting materials so it’s important to come back and break them every day.

The location of where the rock respawns also seems to be random so be sure to give your island a thorough check each day to make sure you’re getting the most out of your experience.

This, of course, is just one small part of the island lifestyle. You’ll be tasked with collecting bugs, fish, fossils and so much more as you craft the island to you and your villagers liking.

Make sure to eat plenty of fruit which will allow you to break your rocks with an axe. This is how you’ll get valuable crafting materials such as iron or clay.

You’ll need clay to craft things like the Ocarina. Iron will also be extremely important when it comes time to build your very first shop.

Well, that’s everything you need to know about whether rocks respawn in Animal Crossing New Horizons. For more tips, tricks, and guides be sure to check out our ever-growing and extensive Animal Crossing Wiki, or just search Twinfinite. You can also find more coverage if you look down below.
