Sandbox worlds in LEGO Fortnite are every master builder’s dream, with infinite resources and access to every schematic in the game. Creating a Sandbox world is also the objective of the “Try LEGO Fortnite!” quests, which all reward a free level-up.

What is a LEGO Fortnite Sandbox World?

Sandbox worlds in LEGO Fortnite are remarkably similar to Minecraft’s Creative mode. In Sandbox worlds, you have access to every crafting schematic, unlimited resources and items, and the ability to fly by double-tapping the jump button.

Like Survival, you can choose between pre-sets or designing your own builds from scratch using individual LEGO bricks and assets. Anyone who knows me would tell you not to let me loose in a LEGO store, so my wallet is personally thanking both LEGO and Epic for this feature. It’s far cheaper than buying individual bricks, let me tell you.

You can even assign friends as Key Holders, allowing them to build in your world while offline. Something Minecraft is severely lacking if you don’t want to go through the hassle (and cost) of running a Server.

Can You Switch Sandbox Worlds to Creative Worlds?

We know what you were thinking, but you can’t build a base in Sandbox and then cheekily switch over to Survival. Once a world mode has been selected in LEGO Fortnite, it can’t be changed. Choose carefully.
