In Fortnite LEGO Ninjago, animals are more than ambient wildlife, they can be tamed, named, and managed as part of your settlement. The Barn is the key structure that enables this system, serving as a permanent home where your animals are registered and tracked.

Barn explained

The Barn functions as an animal housing and management structure. Once built, it allows you to assign tamed animals to it, give them custom names, and revisit them at any time. Each Barn can only be assigned to a single animal, meaning you will need multiple Barns if you plan to keep several animals.

How to build the Barn in Fortnite LEGO Ninjago

To build the Barn, you will need the following materials:

  • Plank ×15

You can get the planks by using the Lumber Mill and processing the wood into planks.

How to tame animals and use the Barn

The Barn is used as a permanent home for your animals, but before you can assign any animal to it, you must first tame the animal.

Start by using the Grill to craft Animal Treats.

Explore the areas to find animals such as sheep or cows. Approach the animal and interact with it to pet it first.

The Barn is an essential structure in Fortnite LEGO Ninjago for players who want to tame and manage animals. By crafting Animal Treats, taming wildlife, and assigning each animal to its own Barn, you gain a reliable way to track, name, and revisit your animals whenever you return to your settlement. Proper planning is important, as each Barn supports only one animal, making expansion a key consideration for animal-focused builds.
