Pretty much anything you could ever want in Minecraft you can get for free (perhaps with the assistance of mods). From what little time I've spent playing Fortnite, it seems much more narrowly-scoped and frankly, pretty boring. I'm not even sure why they're being compared here; they're very different games.

Fortnite is a lot more competitive I would assume, it's basically a FPS right?
That was my understanding. I think it tries to capture some of Minecraft's mechanics like freeform building but it's so distilled it's not really fair to compare them.
The building in Fortnite is not remotely comparable to that in Minecraft. You can build stuff, but it's mostly small fortifications quickly thrown together to hide behind.
