Malachite is one of the most durable and sought-after resources in LEGO Fortnite. Crafting weapons, tools, and structures using Malachite Slabs offers increased efficiency and damage output. However, finding and mining Malachite can be tricky for players who are unfamiliar with the Frostlands biome. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about locating Malachite deposits and gathering this precious green ore efficiently.
How to Find and Get Malachite
Before heading out, ensure your character has sufficient Cold Resistance food like Spicy Peppers to withstand the frigid Frostlands temperatures. You will also need to craft an Epic Pickaxe using 8 Obsidian Slabs and 5 Frostpine Rods to mine Malachite deposits. As some deposits are located high up on mountains and cliffs, carry materials to construct stairs and access hard-to-reach nodes.

Locate the Frostlands Biome
Open your in-game map and scan for snowy, white-colored biomes - these represent the Frostlands.
- Travel to the nearest Frostlands zone and make your way towards the tall mountains and cliffs.
- This is where Malachite is predominantly found.
- Stay alert for aggressive wildlife like Ice Fiends and Snow Spectrals during your journey.

Identify Malachite Deposits
Upon reaching the Frostlands mountains and cliffs, observe the rock ledges and overhangs carefully.
- Malachite deposits appear as protruding dark green-colored mineral veins in the stone surfaces.
- Single green gems may also be embedded within the rocks.
- Equip your Epic Pickaxe and target any visible Malachite ores.

Mine the Malachite
Repeatedly strike the Malachite deposits to extract the ore. Mining Malachite requires time and patience as each strike only removes a small fragment. Persist with the effort until the entire ore vein disappears, then collect the Malachite from the ground. Large ore clusters can yield 6 or more Malachite per vein.

- Use these slabs to forge advanced Epic weapons, construct durable buildings, and craft Unique furniture items to enhance your Village.
