Following LEGO Fortnite’s v23.30 update, we can finally tame animals and create a farm nearly five months after the game’s initial release in December 2023.

Thanks to the inclusion of new structures like Barns, animals can be our friends instead of a valuable source of food whenever you come across them. But taming one takes some work, so prepare for the long haul.
LEGO Fortnite: How to tame animals
To tame animals in LEGO Fortnite, you need to go through a few steps:
- First, you need to upgrade your basic village level so you can hire additional NPCs. Getting to level two lets you assign one new animal to your base.
- Open up the Build menu and create a Barn. The Barn unlocks when you create Planks, and you need 10 Planks to create a single Barn.
- Build a Grill using 30 Granite to unlock the option to create Animal Treats. You can create one from a Grill using three corn and five Vines.
- Find the animal you want to Tame in the wild and feed it an Animal Treat. The animal begins to follow you for a short time. You might need multiple Animal Treats if you are far from your village.
- When you return to your village, find the Barn and assign the animal to it like you would assign an NPC to a bed. The animal will then be a permanent part of your base, and you can even name it.
You can only have a few tamed animals at a time at your base, so you won’t be able to pull a Minecraft and have multiple at once. Be sure to also feed your animals food in their respective barns so they can create resources like Fertilizer for you.
