Brightcore is a resource you need to find Lego Fortnite if you want to level up your village or make better weapons and tools. Finding it will take some preliminary work, however, as it is only found in one biome.
Us Lego Fortnite guide will explain how to get brightcore and what you will use it for.
How to get Brightcore in Lego Fortnite
Brightcore is alone in it “dry valley” caves – so you have to find a desert biome first and then you have to find a cave. You know you're in the right place when you start to get warm and see cacti (cactuses?) everywhere. (Those are good for collecting flex wood.)
Once you get there, all you have to do is wander around until you find a cave. However, the caves in the desert biome are extremely hot, so you must prepare to survive:
- make a cool-headed charm (3 silk thread, 3 sand shells, 1 marble) during an upgrade craft bench
- Make some Snowberry shakes (2 snowberries, 1 milk) — cows drop milk when you pet them — at a juicer (8 shelves, 8 marble slabs of a stone crusherAnd 5 knotroot rods).

We only saw brightcore near lava, so if your desert cave doesn't have lava in it, you may need to look for another one.
In the cave and near the lava, look for spherical red-orange deposits; they are yours clear core. You need one rare pickaxe (3 flexwood bars And 3 sand claws) or better to mine them.
These caves are the same places where you find obsidian, copper and rubies.
What will you use brightcore for in Lego Fortnite
