How To Get Vines & Glowing Moss + DIY Recipes
Vines and Glowing Moss have been added as beautiful new flora options to decorate your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) with Version 2.0! Learn how to find these items and see all of the crafting recipes that use them in this guide.
Newly introduced in the massive Version 2.0 Update released on November 3rd, you’ll need to have your copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons fully updated to experience Vines and Glowing Moss.
What Are Vines & Glowing Moss?
Vines can be used in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as an item placed on the side of your island’s cliffs for both decoration and a makeshift ladder that can be climbed!
Glowing Moss looks somewhat similar to Weeds in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but feature a distinct glowing effect at night and even emit little glowing specks as you walk across the plant.
Both Vines and Glowing Moss are used as materials in dozens of DIY Crafting recipes that can be crafted to decorate your island further.
How To Get Glowing Moss & Vines
The main way to get Glowing Moss and Vines in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is from a special new Mystery Island only accessible by Kapp’n Boat Tours!
On this unique island, you’ll find Vines growing on the cliffs, Glowing Moss spread out on the ground, and Plumeria Bushes planted everywhere. They’re not just for looking at either — go ahead and pick everything up to take back home with you to plant on your home island!
Make sure not to miss out on picking up some of the Glowing Moss to take home with you as its appearance is quite similar to regular weeds during the day! If in doubt, just pick up anything that resembles weeds to be sure.
Note that this island is just one of many different islands that Kapp’n can bring you to, it may take you many days to find this particular mystery island with vines and glowing moss.
Happy Home Paradise DLC Shortcut
An alternative shortcut way you can easily get your hands on some Vines & Glowing Moss items is by playing the paid Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise DLC expansion!
If you own this paid DLC, head over to the Airport and select ‘I want to work’ to travel to the Paradise Planning island. Once on the DLC island, you can find both Glowing Moss and Vines hiding at the back of the plaza for your enjoyment! These are free for you to take home, just like the materials seen on a Kapp’n island.
How To Unlock Glowing Moss & Vine DIY Recipes
New DIY Crafting recipes for both Vines and Glowing Moss can be unlocked in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 2.0 by finding special Message Bottles on the beach when visiting Kapp’n Islands.
Additionally, if you own the Happy Home Paradise paid DLC, be sure to check the shores of the Paradise Planning island often to find Message Bottles there as well that can contain these DIY Crafting recipes.
