While Amber is extremely useful on its own, for some crafting purposes you’re going to need Cut Amber, and unfortunately, it’s not immediately how to get this. However, the good news is that it could be easier, you just need to know the process.

To save you time wasted experimenting on how to cut your Amber, here’s a step-by-step guide so you can get the process completed and back out exploring the world in no time.

To get Cut Amber in LEGO Fortnite, you are going to need a Gem Cutter—and that will require adventuring across different biomes to get the required resources. For this build, you will need:

  • 20x Marble Slabs
  • 5x Rough Amber
  • 5x Sand Claw
  • 3x Sand Shell

Of the four resources you need, Marble Slabs are the easiest as you just need to harvest Marble from inside Caves found in the Grasslands. However, for the remaining resources, you’ll need to brave the Desert Biome.

Make sure you’re ready for a fight as you need to defeat Sand Wolves to get Sand Claws and you need to take down Sand Rollers to get Sand Shells. To get the Rough Amber you need to complete the build, look for Amber deposits on rocks, and make sure you have an Uncommon Pickaxe equipped.

Once you have gathered all the materials and built your Gem Cutter, the next step couldn’t be easier as you just need to input the Rough Amber into your new machine for it to create Cut Amber. If you’re unsure how, follow these steps:

  • Interact with the Gem Cutter
  • Choose the recipe Cut Amber
  • Deposit Amber into the machine
  • Once complete, remove your Cut Amber.

That’s it. Now you’ve got Cut Amber for all of your crafting needs. This is the only way that you can Cut Amber in the game so make sure you get familiar and add a Gem Cutter to your home base. There are plenty of other uses outside of Amber to take advantage of.
