Crafting is the ultimate goal of the game in LEGO Fortnite, whether it be crafting to build the village or for weapons to go explore the map. With so much to create, it can get hard to keep track of it all.
LEGO Fortnite is the newest sandbox addition to the Fortnite franchise, with mechanics reminiscent of Minecraft. The crafting opportunities are massive, with more crafting stations being unlocked as players discover more materials to work with. Each crafting station discovered is necessary to unlock another station later in the game, making it necessary to build all crafting stations. Here are all the crafting stations, how to make them, and what they are used for.

Crafting Bench
The Crafting Bench is the centerpiece of stations in LEGO Fortnite. It is the first station players will make and is the station where tools, weapons, health items, and defense items will be crafted. This is the only station that will require leveling up to gain higher-quality items. Players will not be able to progress in the game without leveling up the Crafting Bench and obtaining better tools, making this station the most important one. Each time a player levels up the Crafting Bench, the station will require more rare materials.
Players will need 3 Wood and 5 Granite to build the Crafting Bench.
How to Upgrade the Crafting Bench
The Crafting Bench must be upgraded to unlock higher-grade items. To upgrade the Crafting Bench, interact with it to open the menu. From here, select the “upgrade” tab in the upper right-hand corner. This station has three upgrades that players will need to fulfill. The following are the levels and their requirements.

Grill
Lego Fortnite players will acquire the recipe to build a Grill early in the game, and it is the first cooking station that we are introduced to.

Players will need 30 Granite to build the Grill.
Spinning Wheel
The Spinning Wheel is an important station in Lego Fortnite that creates threads and rope. It provides products such as cords and drawstrings that will be used for long-range weapons.

Players will need 8 Planks, 5 Wooden Rods, 5 Wood, and 5 Wolf Claws to build the Spinning Wheel.
Stone Breaker

Grain Mill
The Grain Mill in Lego Fortnite is the second food station players unlock in the game.

Some seeds that can be made with the Grain Mill are Pumpkin Seeds, Raspberry Seeds, and Snowberry Seeds.
Players need 20 Knotroot Rods, 20 Granite Slabs, and 3 Shells to build the Grain Mill.
Juicer
The Juicer in Lego Fortnite is the next food station that makes consumable products to aid the player’s explorations.

Essence Table
The Essence Table enchants weapons and tools with various enhancements that increase a weapon’s attack power, its durability, and increase the player’s health. Three different enchantments available are called Essence of Damage, Essence of Durability, and Essence of Health. Each one will need different rare materials to create, such as Rough Ruby and Blast Core. Each tool and weapon will have multiple slots to assign one of these enchantments.
Players will need 20 Flaxwood and 6 Cut Amber to build the Essence Table.
