The Shooting Stars during a Meteor Shower in Animal Crossing New Horizons are a beautiful sight and a way to get Star Fragments. Star Fragments are rare in Animal Crossing New Horizons and are used to craft valuable items like Zodiac Furniture or a wand.
However, some players are still unsure where and how to get the Star Fragment. Don’t worry, as in this guide; we will cover everything about the Shooting Stars in ACNH, getting Star Fragments, their types, and what you can craft with them.
How to get Star Fragments in ACNH
All it takes to get some star fragments in Animal Crossing New Horizons is a meteor shower and wishing. Large Star Fragments are rare, so you will need to make a lot of wishes to get them. However, the meteor shower will not happen every day. You need to look for a few signs if you want to see the meteor shower and make a wish to collect Star Fragments.
The first sign is Celeste’s appearance. Celeste also appears in regions where a meteor shower is imminent after 7 pm. A meteor shower is most likely between 7 pm and 4 am.
Only Celeste’s appearance is not a guarantee of a Meteor Shower. If Celeste appears, and Isabelle and Villagers are talking about the Meteor Shower, then you can say it is guaranteed that a meteor shower will happen, and you can make a wish.
How to Wish on a Shooting Star
To wish in Animal Crossing New Horizons, get to an open area like a beach so you have a clear view of the sky. You can use the right analog stick to look at the sky.
You must press “A” to make a wish during the Meteor Shower. If your wish works, the star will glow and get a little bigger. Just ensure your hands are empty and you are not holding any item.
There will be a lot of stars falling subsequently, so continue pressing A to make multiple wishes or to ensure your job is done.
You will get one Star Fragment per wish, so if you are quick and lucky, you can get enough to make a wand in one night of wishing and scavenging.
Once you wish on a star in ACNH, the star fragment will wash up on the shore of your island during the day. You can collect them by going to the shore nearest to your location.
You can get 20 Star Fragments daily by wishing on your Island. If you have already hit that number, making more wishes is unnecessary.
Another way to get Star Fragments fast is to make your visitors make wishes. For every 5 wishes made, you will get a Star Fragment. This is capped at 20 fragments per day.
If your visitors make 100 wishes and you alone make 20 wishes, you can also get a maximum total of 40 Star Fragments in one day. After update 2.0, Kapp’n’s Island Tours will also get you Star Fragments. All you need to do is hit rocks on these Islands, and you may get Fragments.
Types of Star Fragments in Animal Crossing New Horizons
You may already know about the two basic types of Star Fragments in ACNH, as you will need them to craft many DIY recipes. Star Fragments (Yellow) and Large Star Fragments (Blue) are two types.
There are Zodiac Star Fragments as well, and these will depend on which zodiac sign is currently in the sun. For example, in August, you will get Leo. You may get a Zodiac Star Fragment other than one in the sun, but it is rare. A zodiac star fragment other than the one currently in the sun can drop, but it is rare.
This list covers Zodiac Signs and in which you can find them:
- Aries: March 21 – April 19
- Taurus: April 20 – May 20

- Cancer: June 21 – July 22

Star Fragments Uses
There are different DIY items that you can craft using the different types of Star Fragments in Animal Crossing New Horizons. You can get these recipes from Celeste’s visits.
You can use your fragments to craft a wand (It lets you change clothes with a flick), but we recommend you collect as many as you can and store them to craft zodiac furniture. You can give Zodiac Furniture to Celeste, and she will tell you a story in return.
There are different wands, Zodiac Furniture, and items that require Star Fragments in their crafting if you have the recipes, and we have covered them below. Besides crafting, if you gather too many stars, you can even sell them to make bells in ACNH.
