How to Get Glowing Moss

Discover the two main ways to get Glowing Moss in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, including Kapp's boat tours and purchasing the Happy Home Paradise DLC. Learn how to plant and use it for DIYs.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on some Glowing Moss in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, huh? It's a pretty neat material, especially with all the cool DIY recipes that use it. Don't worry, I'll walk you through the best ways to snag some!

There are actually two main ways to get your hands on this glowing goodness. The first is a bit of a luck-based method, but totally doable. You'll want to keep taking boat tours with Kapp'n. Each day, he can take you to a different mysterious island, and one of those islands might just have Glowing Moss growing on it. If you find an island with it, it's usually pretty easy to spot!

The cool part is, once you get some Glowing Moss, you can actually plant it on your own island! This means you can grow more of it, which is super handy since so many DIY recipes call for it. Think of it as your own personal moss farm!

The second way to get Glowing Moss is by purchasing the Happy Home Paradise DLC. If you have the DLC, you'll find that moss respawns daily at the back of the main hub island. Honestly, if you're someone who likes to collect everything or just wants an easier time gathering materials, the DLC is a great investment for the game.

Now, about those DIY recipes that use Glowing Moss – you can get them the same way you find any other DIYs. Keep an eye out for those message bottles that wash up on the shore of your island and any others you visit. Trading with friends is also a classic way to snag new recipes. Sometimes, your villagers might even share a recipe with you if you catch them working on something in their house. Just pop in and say hi!

It's worth noting that while villagers tend to give out simpler DIYs, it's not confirmed if they'll hand out the Glowing Moss ones. So, stick to the bottles and the DLC for the most reliable way to get those recipes.

Here's a look at some of the cool things you can craft with Glowing Moss:

You might also notice some recipes require Vines, which you can find in similar ways to Glowing Moss. Vines are pretty handy too – you can even use them to make permanent ladders on your cliffs, so you don't have to keep pulling out and putting away your ladder tool. Super convenient!
