Before entering, players can select the Lego Fortnite game mode option while in the lobby. Upon doing so, the player's existing outfit, if compatible, will be converted into a minifigure. They can then select a world, with some options including turning on or off hunger, hostile mobs, and dying, as well as having the ability to invite up to eight players in a single world. After this is done and the game has started, players can roam around the map, and collect materials, such as wood, by punching trees, while also being able to build buildings and tools. They will also have to keep an eye out for enemy mobs, if this option was activated, such as spiders, wolves, bears, and skeletons. When dealt with damage, players can heal themselves by consuming items such as pumpkins, corn, eggs, raspberries, meat, etc. Fireflies will also appear from time to time, and are unable to be caught due to their speed. Instead, players can follow them, which will lead to them discovering chests and loot llamas, the latter of which will explode with items after being pet.
