In the northern hemisphere, the beginning of spring for the players at Animal Crossing marks the arrival of the cherry blossom season.
For players in the aforementioned regions, the season begins on April 1, but players in the southern hemisphere must wait until October to enjoy the spring celebrations.
Ordinary hardwood trees turn into vibrant pink shades, and players will also witness cherry blossom petals falling from the sky. Players can expect to see the most cherry blossom petals from April 7th to April 10th. This season will also introduce new DIY recipes and production resources to produce new seasonal foods.
Naturally, to make these seasonal items, players in the Animal Crossing game need to use their nets to catch the fallen petals.
How to unlock DIY recipes in Animal Crossing
In the past year, players have become familiar with the function of DIY recipes. At the beginning of the Cherryblossom season, Isabelle will provide players with an "outdoor picnic set" in her daily announcement. In order to collect recipes for other seasons, players will have to be vigilant and pay attention to balloon gifts.
During the ten days of the season, any balloon in the sky can contain these DIY recipes. These balloons may be of great benefit to the player, but they may also contain some rare recipes (even if the opportunities are rare). Players crossing animals can use their slingshot to collect them.
Capture cherry blossom petals to make seasonal items in Animal Crossing
Although unlocking DIY recipes is a daunting task in itself, it is far from enough. Players also need to use nets to catch cherry blossom petals floating in the air. However, this is not as easy as it sounds, because if the player touches them or makes too many attempts to catch them, they will disappear.
To make all seasonal DIY recipes, players need to catch 86 cherry blossom petals before April 10.
