Can You Jump in Animal Crossing New Horizons?
It’s not possible to jump in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In its first year of launch, a trend started that had players take screenshots of their Animal Crossing character floating in the air, making it look like they were jumping. It’s fun to do but ultimately pointless. Here’s how to do it.
Buy or make a bench chair or beach towel in the game. As you choose to sit or lie on it, take a screenshot using the Switch’s screenshot button. If you time it correctly, you will take a photo of the animation that plays out as you sit down. It makes it look like the character is floating in the air. However, it’s not technically jumping.

Early on in Animal Crossing, you may notice areas of water you might want to hop across. While there is no jump button, players can construct a vaulting pole to hop across the gap. Here’s how to do so.
Collect five pieces of softwood. This can be done by crafting an axe in Animal Crossing and chopping down trees. Go to a workbench. Find the vaulting pole recipe and tap Craft It! Once crafted, equip the vaulting pole. Head to a water-based gap. Press A to jump across the gap.

How to Jump in the Water in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
Another way of jumping in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is diving into the sea. To do so, you need to get a wetsuit, but then you can jump into the sea. Here’s what to do.
Buy a wetsuit in Animal Crossing from Nook’s Cranny or via the terminal in Resident Services. Wetsuits typically cost 3,000 Bells or 800 Nook Miles. Equip the wetsuit. Approach the shore and stand near the water. Press A to enter the water. Controlling your character in the water is the same as on land with the A button allowing you to paddle. It’s possible to dive into the water by pressing Y.
