Rock

Rocks  are objects that have appeared in every game. There are usually five to ten rocks in a player's town, and the rocks can be a single rock or be in clumps of two. Depending on the season, hitting a rock with a Shovel or Axe may result in a Pill Bug, Centipede or House Centipede appearing; this is the only way of finding them. In winter, there is snow on them, but the other seasons do not change anything in the rocks.

Money rock


Once a day, one of the rocks in town hold Bells inside of it. To get the Bells, the player has to go around their town and hit random rocks with an axe or shovel. In about five seconds, the player must hit the rock as many times as possible.

In, the rock will release up to 23,300 Bells as three sacks of 100, three sacks of 1,000, and two sacks of 10,000; in , the rock will release up to 8,500 Bells as sacks of 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000; and in , , and , the rock will spurt out up to 16,100 Bells as sacks of 100, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and finally 8,000. Additionally in, if the player is wearing the Daily Lucky Item on a good money luck day, the rock will release more money with each sack containing twice as many Bells as normal. Conversely, if the player is not wearing the Daily Lucky Item on a bad money luck day, the rock will release less money with an extra 100 sack at the start that causes the last 8,000 Bell sack to not spawn.

In
In, in addition to money rocks, players are able to destroy "fake" rocks to produce ores. These can be given to Cyrus at Re-Tail to dye items (mainly furniture) different colors.

On Bunny Day, the town will produce ten such "fake" rocks, in addition to the one containing the ore, which can be broken to reveal stone eggs to be taken to Zipper T. Bunny.

If the player strikes a money rock with a Silver Shovel, it may produce ores instead of Bells.

In the update, the ability for the player to sit on rocks was added.

In
In, a total of six rocks appear on the player's island, and all rocks except the money rock now release Stone, Clay, Iron Nuggets, and Gold Nuggets when hit, which can be used in various DIY recipes. Additionally, rocks can be broken if they are hit with an Axe or Shovel after the player eats fruit or Turnips, after which they will reappear in a random location the following day.
