If, like us, you went a bit overboard with rock smacking in the early days of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you may be sitting on a pile of coal and nuggets. Well you can leave your island’s stone unmolested no longer, because the only way to get this recipe is with some goold old rock beating. Grab a shovel or axe and whack away. Don’t forget to box yourself in with holes so you can get the most out of each rock.
There aren’t many rocks on your island, and each can only be used once a day. Bear in mind that you can go on Island Tours using Nook Miles Tickets to find more rocks.
