Creating LEGO Fortnite worlds
LEGO Fortnite's Survival and Sandbox worlds allow eight players to jump in simultaneously in one world, and having a community is the best way to play the game. Players cooperate to build, harvest, gather and overcome challenges. Each player is stronger and better with friends.
When players first create a world in Survival and Sandbox modes, it’s fully private, which means no other players will be able to join unless the world owner invites them. There are no ‘public’ worlds in LEGO Fortnite, and there’s no way to join someone else’s world unless a player gets an invitation from one of their friends. While many LEGO Islands are designed as public multiplayer experiences to be enjoyed with friends, they can also be played solo.
Before players can invite other people to join them in their Survival and Sandbox worlds, they need to be friends in Fortnite. World owners can also invite their friends to be a ‘key holder’, which means their friends can access and edit the world anytime, even if the owner is offline. Remember: guests can build or tear down any creations so it’s important to have a good think before your child decides which friends they want to share their world with!
We expect everyone to play responsibly and follow Epic’s rules, which means no offensive content in LEGO Fortnite worlds. If players see something inappropriate in a world, we encourage them to report it using Fortnite’s easy-to-use reporting tools so Epic can take action against content and players that violate the rules.
Setting up Parental Controls
Fortnite has extensive in-game parental controls that allow adults to manage their child’s experience in the game. Each platform on which the game is available – for example, PlayStation®, Xbox, Nintendo Switch™ and Windows – also offers its own parental controls.
With Epic Games’ Parental Controls, you can manage access to social features (such as voice chat), require a Parental Controls PIN for purchases and set up additional controls. You can access them online in the Epic Account Portal and also in-game using the Fortnite Parental Controls menu. Here’s how to access that menu in-game:
1. Launch Fortnite.
2. Open the main menu (which looks like three horizontal lines), and select the gear-shaped icon.
3. Select Parental Controls from the menu that loads.
From the Account Portal, parents and guardians can customize their Parental Controls to create an age-appropriate experience for every member of the family. Notable Parental Controls include:
- Voice and text chat permissions: You can manage who your child is able to speak with using Epic’s voice and text chat. You can select options like ‘Friends Only,’ which only allows your child to speak with other players in their Epic friends list and platform friend list, or disable chat entirely.
- Purchasing settings: You can choose to require your Parental Controls PIN to be entered before real money purchases are made using Epic payment.
- Require your PIN for friend requests: You have the option of requiring your PIN to be entered in order for your child to send or accept Epic friend requests. With this control, you can manage who your child is able to interact with in LEGO Fortnite since worlds are private to players and their invited friends.
- Fortnite Content Ratings: In Fortnite, every island has an age rating, and you can determine which islands your child can visit based on those ratings.
Note: If your child is playing on a console, then you may also need to set controls for purchasing, communication limits, friend requests and more in that ecosystem. For example, if you turn off voice chat in Fortnite, your child may still be able to access voice chat using the chat system built into their console.
Epic Parental Controls require you to set up a six-digit PIN through the Epic Account Portal or the Fortnite Parental Controls menu. The PIN ensures that only you can make changes to your settings.Fortnite’s voice reporting feature allows anyone to submit audio evidence so Epic can take action against other players using voice chat to bully, harass or engage in other inappropriate behavior. For players under 18, the feature is automatically on in voice chats. You can also see voice reporting settings in-game through Fortnite’s audio menu.
