Are you trying to get Iron Bars in LEGO Fortnite? Here’s how to find Iron Ore and craft it into bars quickly.
You can get Iron Bars by farming Iron Ore in the Ice Biome caves and combining it with Brightcores in a Metal Smelter to craft Iron Bars.
Let’s go through everything you need to know about them, including where to get Iron Ore and where to use these bars.
How to Get Iron Ore

You can find Iron Ore in LEGO Fortnite by exploring caves in the Ice Biome. Just keep in mind that you must have an Epic Pickaxe to be able to mine it. If you don’t have one yet, check out our guide on how to get epic weapons and tools in LEGO Fortnite.
You can find caves in the snow biome by heading to a vantage point and looking around for rock formations.
The caves are similar to the ones in the Grasslands and Desert biomes, so you know what to look for. If you’re having trouble, check out our guide on how to find a cave in LEGO Fortnite.
Also, the caves are the coldest place in the Ice biome. Make sure you have enough Spicy Burgers to stay warm and survive the cold.
Within the cave, you’ll be able to find Iron Ore easily and mine it with your pickaxe.
How to Get Iron Bars in LEGO Fortnite
To get Iron Bars in LEGO Fortnite, head to the Metal Smelter and craft them. The recipe is unlocked upon picking up one Iron Ore and is the following:
- 1x Iron Bar = 1x Iron Ore + 2x Brightcore
If you don’t have a Metal Smelter yet, here’s what you need to craft it:
- 15x Brightcore
- 35x Obsidian Slab
- 3x Blast Core
Where to Use Iron Bars
Now that you’ve gotten enough Iron Bars, you can use them to craft the Epic Shovel, Recurve Crossbow, and Longsword items.
All three recipes will be automatically unlocked once you pick up your first Iron Bar.
Wrapping up
To summarize, you can get Iron Bars in LEGO Fortnite by farming Iron Ore in the Ice Biome caves and then converting that ore into bars via the Metal Smelter.
Iron is the current end-game material and will allow you to craft the Epic Shovel and the two Epic Weapons, which are the strongest weapons in the game.
