Shown in the Big Bang event preceding Chapter 5 Season 1, the LEGO Fortnite mode was released on December 7. The game has seen a huge spike in its player count because of these new additions and everything they bring to the table.

How to craft Metal Smelters in LEGO Fortnite?

To craft Metal Smelters, players will require 15x Brightcores, 35x Obsidian Slabs, and 3x Blast Cores. Gathering these resources will require a trip to a Lava Cave in the desert biome. The entrance to these caves can be found in large chunks of rocks.

Brightcores are distinctly orange and near the lava. You can mine it with a Rare Pickaxe. Obsidian can be found in the same cave as dark-shiny ores. Use a Rare Pickaxe to mine them, collect enough, and go back to the Village. Use the Stone Breakers to make them into Obsidian Slabs.

The Lava Cave will also contain Blast Cores, although indirectly. These locations will spawn Lava-Rollers. These are jutting-out rock pieces. You can either trigger it to self-destruct or damage it enough and move away as it self-destructs. It will drop Blast Cores.

Given the temperature of the Lava Caves in LEGO Fortnite, you should prepare beforehand. The best option is to collect Snow Berries from bushes in a snow biome and milk from a cow to make Snowberry Shake.

This will provide 10 minutes of heat resistance, but keep in mind that a Rare Pickaxe is mandatory.

With everything in order, you can go to their Build menu and craft a Metal Smelter. The equipment can then be used to create metal bars from ores which then can be used for various recipes like Copper Bars for making ovens.
