How to use creative map codes

In the creative game mode, you have the ability to play maps created by other players.

In order to do this, you can either try out the featured maps in the creative hub, or you can play specific maps using map codes.

A map code is a 12-digit code that allows anyone to access a saved island.

This means selected players can share their creations with the community.

Anyone can, however, share their own creation with their friends by playing on the same server.

To use a creative code, go to one of the rifts in your creative hub and press interact.

A screen will now appear.

In the top right corner of this screen, you can put in a code.

Put in the desired code and press select island.

Once the creative map is loaded, walk into the rift.

How to make a chest

Once you’ve made it to one of your own islands, you probably want to make a chest.

This chest can contain any combination of items you want and will respawn every time you press start game on your island.

To make a chest, open up your inventory.

Make sure you are on the “Creative” tab at the top of the screen.

Once here, you can navigate through the 5 tabs, Prefabs, Devices, Weapons, Consumables, and Chest.

In the first 4 tabs, you will find all the items in the game.

Once you’ve found your desired weapon, item or consumable you want to add to your chest, simply click it, and press “Add to Chest”.

With the phone, you can select prefabs, blocks, or any other building piece and place copies of the selected item all over the map.

Once your phone has selected the desired piece, you can left-click anywhere to place the copied piece.

To deselect your selected piece, press right-click.

In order to create massive buildings, obstacle courses, or other creations, which require more than the regular building pieces, you have to use prefabs.

Find whatever prefab you wish to utilize and press equip.

How to build on your island

If you want to start building on your very own creative island you have two options.

You can either use the classic building pieces you know from Fortnite (Ramp, Floor, Wall, and Pyramid) or you can use the mobile item.

If you choose to use the mobile item, you can use any structure from the game by utilizing prefabs.

Both the mobile item, how to use it, and how to use prefabs have been described earlier in this guide.

There are two ways of joining a server.

The first way is simply by being in the same party as the one creating the creative server once he creates it.

However, you can also join a server that is already running.

To do this, choose creative mode on the main screen, then press play.

A screen will now pop up with all the servers your friends are running, or your friends’ friends are running.

When you’ve found the server you wish to join, press “Launch” and wait.
