Animal Crossing: New Horizons recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. Despite being exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, the game has been a colossal success and has helped millions of players in facing the Coronavirus pandemic.
One of the biggest reasons behind Nintendo’s life simulation game has been constant updates and events. Moreover, these events often cater to real-life festivals and celebratory occasions. Naturally, players love being a part of them and decorate their islands accordingly.
The next big event to arrive in ANCH is Bunny Day. It has been the franchise’s equivalent of Easter Day for years, in which players hunt eggs spread across their islands.

The Easter eggs during Bunny Day had replaced essential decorating material that was available after hitting rocks and chopping trees. To make things worse, the spawn rates of fishes were reduced and replaced with eggs.
It is worth noting that the Cherry Blossom season clashes with Bunny Day. Back in 2020, catching Cherry Blossom petals and crafting Bonsai trees had become a far-off possibility for many players because DIY recipes from the island’s beach primarily contained Bunny Day recipes.
