How to Get Clay
Clay is very simple to obtain. There are six rocks scattered across your island somewhere. Aside from the one filled with Bells, the five other rocks will drop Iron, Clay, or Stone. Note that every once in a great while, rocks will also drop Gold Nuggets. To get these resources from your rocks, simply hit the rocks with an axe or a shovel.
You’ll want to keep hitting the rock as many times as you can in a row to get all the resources. Note that if you consume fruit before using an axe or shovel on a rock, you will break it, and it will respawn in another location the next day.
