Obtaining more rocks in Animal Crossing

Before getting into how players can get more rocks in Animal Crossing, it makes sense to describe what rocks can be used for in the game. Rocks in Animal Crossing act as the source for various materials like iron nuggets, clay, stone, and others. These are some of the most basic elements required to craft almost anything in the game, so naturally players want more and more of it on their islands.

To get more rocks on their Animal Crossing island, all players have to do is hit rocks with a shovel or an ax. They can dig holes near the rock to collect the crafting materials that come from the rock. Make a daily practice out of it, since hitting rocks will yield players more rocks.

Players must make sure they keep a 3x3 grid clear around the rocks, so that the spawn rate for the rocks is higher. Rocks spawn faster if their spawning is not obstructed by any object in a 3x3 grid.

Make use of these methods to make sure you have a higher spawn rate for rocks on your Animal Crossing island.
