Enter Sand and Glass
v28.30 adds two new resources to LEGO Fortnite! Using a shovel, dig sand out of the ground in a sandy area.
Some people don’t like Sand because it, of course, gets everywhere. It’s even in glass… Craft Glass with Sand and Metal Smelter!

Make it easier to see what is far away! Spyglass is a telescopic tool that magnifies distant views. Unlock the recipe for a Spyglass by adding the Glass to your inventory and having a Crafting Bench in your world. Then, you guessed it, make one on a Crafting Bench!
New Item: Compass
It’s easy to forget which direction you’re going unless you open your map. But if you make a compass, you won’t need your map for that! Compass adds basic navigation to the HUD, telling you which direction you’re facing. Unlock the recipe for a Compass by adding Glass in your inventory and having a Making Bank in your world Then – you know where this is going – make one on a Crafting Bench.
Want to add navigation AND map markers to your HUD? Then do the Advanced Compasswhose recipe is unlocked in the same way as the regular Compass.
