Here\u2019s everything you need to know. One of the biggest objectives in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to decorate your island with different features. Some of the more popular choices are forests, elaborate town entrances, and marketplaces, just to name a few. The introduction of the Island Designer app and the terraforming tool means that the possibilities are endless. Animal Crossing also allows players to smash rocks to either move them somewhere else or to gain materials such as iron, stone, or clay. Usually, when broken, their new positioning is random, but players have found a way to force rocks into specific places to form a \u2018rock garden\u2019 \u2013 and here\u2019s how they\u2019re doing it. How to make a rock garden in New Horizons Having all your rocks in one area is a rather tedious process, but it\u2019s well worth the time. It will also take around a week in order to move them all to their desired places \u2013 unless you want to use time travel to speed it up, of course. You\u2019ll also need a shovel, obviously, as well as six pieces of fruit, a Custom Design pattern, the 7\u00d75 area you want the garden to be in, and the Island Designer app as it\u2019ll make your life so much easier. You can make it 7\u00d79 if you\u2019d like the area to be fenced in, either work. If you open up your map, you\u2019ll see that your island is actually set up as a grid. Each section only allows you to have four rocks, but you can get around this and place all six by placing them between two of the lines. They won\u2019t spawn on hard paths such as brick or wood, by the edges of cliffs, rivers or ponds, on the beach, by trees, or adjacent to any buildings, so bear that in mind when planning your space. Once you\u2019ve found your chosen area, you\u2019ll want to plan out where you want the rocks to go. The easiest way of doing this is by using the Island Designer app to place a path tile where you want each one and then using a different type of path in all the spots in between. After that\u2019s done, you\u2019re going to want to eat the fruit and then break all six of your rocks. Then block off all spaces where new ones can spawn in \u2013 just be mindful that they need eight blocks around them in order for them to appear. The easiest way we\u2019ve found of doing this is by placing mannequins every two spaces by using a pattern in your Custom Designs app, as they can be picked up easily for quicker cleanup. Weeds and flowers don\u2019t count as an object, so make sure you set a design down next to them, too. It\u2019s a tedious job, but it works, and is well worth the effort for the end result. Once everywhere is blocked off, you can either wait until the next day to see where a new rock has spawned, or you can time travel forward if you\u2019re impatient. It\u2019ll take six days for all of them to appear, and could be longer if you\u2019ve accidentally missed a spot \u2013 we did say it was tedious. At the end of it, you should have your very own rock garden that you can decorate however you like.
