'''DIY''' is a new feature to the Animal Crossing Series, introduced in {{NH}}. The [[player]], upon receiving their [[Nook Phone]], will be able to find the DIY Recipes app on the home screen. This allows the player to catalog the DIY Recipes they receive, as well as the materials in their [[pocket|inventory]]. This app works with any DIY Workbench and allows the player to bookmark recipes, track which recipes they have crafted, and which crafted items are already in their [[pocket]].

[[Material]]s, or ingredients, are resources that can be found and used in recipes. The player can obtain these items from hitting [[rock]]s; shaking, chopping, or looking around [[tree]]s; [[fishing]] around the player's island or on [[Mystery Islands]] or [[boat tour]]s; from special NPCs; catching with a [[net]]; grown by the player; or obtained from other villagers. Additionally, the player can obtain star fragments after wishing on a shooting star during a [[meteor shower]]. These resources can be crafted into items or sold to Timmy or Tommy. There are also seasonal materials that are only available at certain times of the year or during specific [[events]].

Crafted items generally sell for more [[Bell]]s than the raw materials' total value, however there are some exceptions for consumables such as [[medicine]], and there are Mile Stamps associated with selling certain materials.

Recipes chiefly use the natural resources listed above, but some use other items which must be obtained or crafted first. It is possible to learn recipes, such as the ironwood kitchenette, which require other crafted items that the player may not yet have found the recipes for.
 
  
Methods of obtaining recipes include:
+
== Gallery ==
* from Tom Nook and Blathers (for basic tools in early gameplay - some of these recipes may be only given for free to the Resident Representative);
 
* purchases from [[Nook's Cranny]] (or from [[Timmy]] in the [[Resident Services]] tent);
 
* redemptions of [[Nook Miles]] via the [[Nook Stop]];
 
* speaking to special characters such as [[Celeste]] and [[Zipper T. Bunny]];
 
* from villagers in their home - at almost any given waking hour once the island is established (outside of special events), at least one villager will be using a workbench in their home, and will give the player a recipe if spoken to. Up to 3 recipes can be obtained this way over the course of a day;
 
* letters in the mail (rarely);
 
* from [[Balloon (floating)|Balloons]] <small>(via [[Slingshot]])</small> (rarely);
 
* a daily [[Message Bottle]] on the beach containing a DIY recipe (one may also be found on each [[Mystery Island]] visited); and
 
* learning automatically upon encountering (or collecting a certain number of) particular items, such as fishing out [[trash]], digging up [[Manila Clam]]s, or collecting [[Bunny Day]] eggs.
 
 
 
While some recipes can be potentially obtained from multiple sources including Message Bottles and Balloons, certain recipes can only be learned from specific characters. For example, recipes for [[Astrology Set]] furniture, and for most other space-themed items, can only be obtained from Celeste.
 
 
 
It is common to encounter recipes multiple times on the same island, and sometimes from the same villager, even if there are other recipes in the game that have not been encountered yet, with villager dialog explicitly encouraging sharing the previously-learned recipe with other players. A DIY recipe that the player already knows cannot be learned again, but can be dropped or gifted for other players or sold/trashed.  All recipe cards sell for 200 Bells each.
 
 
 
Visiting another player's island can result in the villagers on that island giving them gifts which could include recipes.

This article is about the DIY mechanic in New Horizons. For the crafting mechanic in Pocket Camp, see Crafting.
NookPhone DIY NH Icon.png

DIY is a feature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that allows the player to craft or cook items using various materials or ingredients. The player, upon receiving their NookPhone, will be able to find the DIY Recipes app on the home screen. This allows the player to catalog the DIY recipes they receive, as well as the materials in their pockets. This app works with any DIY workbench and allows the player to bookmark recipes, track which recipes they have crafted, and which crafted items are already in their pocket. Starting in the 2.0 Free Update, the player can upgrade the app via the Be a Chef! DIY Recipes+ to enable Cooking and catalog cooking recipes via a kitchenware. Although both recipes will show up in the upgraded app, they will not be able to crafted together; DIY recipes are limited to DIY workbenches and cooking recipes are limited to kitchenware items.

Initially, Tom Nook allows the player to use his DIY workbench, which is located at Resident Services. Upon interacting with it for the first time, Tom Nook teaches the player the basic mechanics of crafting by having the player craft the flimsy fishing rod. The player will also receive a letter from Nintendo early in the game which will have the recipe for a simple DIY workbench attached. The player has the option to craft at the workbench at Resident Services, the workbench at the main office in Happy Home Paradise, or their own workbench; each workbench allows access to the player's full catalog of DIY Recipes.

Although there are several varieties of workbenches and kitchenwares that can be used or obtained, all of them function identically and can be used to create any item, with the only differences in these items being size and appearance.

Materials, or ingredients, are resources that can be found and used in recipes. The player can obtain these items from hitting rocks; shaking, chopping, or looking around trees; fishing around the player's island or on Mystery Islands or boat tours; from special NPCs; catching with a net; grown by the player; or obtained from other villagers. Additionally, the player can obtain star fragments after wishing on a shooting star during a meteor shower. These resources can be crafted into items or sold to Timmy or Tommy. There are also seasonal materials that are only available at certain times of the year or during specific events.

Crafted items generally sell for more Bells than the raw materials' total value, however there are some exceptions for consumables such as medicine, and there are Mile Stamps associated with selling certain materials.
