Plan circles, ovals and round towers, block by block.

Minecraft Circle Generator

Each square is one full block. An 11-block ring takes 28 blocks; a 25-block ring takes 68.

Common sizes
Not a perfect circle? Round
(?)

Hollow rings: 1–5 blocks thick for this footprint. Use 1 for an outline. Filled discs ignore thickness.

Building it more than one block high? 1 high

28 blocks for this footprint

Already set some blocks aside? Not entered
(?)

Optional. Compare your stock with the full plan. Checkmarks do not consume or deduct stock. Enter a whole number of full blocks; crafting recipes are not included.

PNG shows the selected layer with row and column numbers, the size, the layer number and a center mark. TXT lists every layer from the bottom up, with the blocks to place in each row, and a link back to this plan. Checkmarks are not included.

SVG is the same picture as PNG and stays sharp at any size. Copy ASCII copies the selected layer as text: # is a block and . is an empty cell. With game coordinates on, TXT also gives the north-west corner and each row's world coordinates.

(?)

Structure files hold the whole shape in the block you choose, so a mod or a structure block can show or place it for you. They are made in your browser and never uploaded.

Java with the Litematica mod: put the .litematic file in the schematics folder inside your .minecraft folder. In the game, press M, choose Load Schematics, select the file and load it. It appears where you stand as a see-through guide to build along.

Bedrock: in a Creative world with cheats on, get a structure block with this command:

/give @s structure_block

Set the structure block to Load, press Import, choose the .mcstructure file, then press Load. Import is only on Windows. A structure block loads at most 64 × 64 blocks across and 384 high, and the empty cells keep whatever is already in your world.

      About this tool and common questions

      Plan circles, ovals and round towers

      Use this free Minecraft circle generator to plan a tower footprint, circular wall or filled floor. Choose a diameter from 3 to 300 blocks and follow the blueprint one row at a time. For a flat floor, select Filled disc and set Wall height to 1. All plans use full blocks.

      Ready-made charts with every row: 7×7 · 9×9 · 11×11 · 13×13 · 15×15 · 21×21 · 25×25 · 31×31 · 51×51 · 101×101 · All sizes

      Circle block count: an 11 × 11 wall

      Set the diameter to 11, choose Hollow ring, use a ring thickness of 1 and a wall height of 8. This planner generates a footprint with 28 blocks per layer. Repeating it for 8 layers needs 28 × 8 = 224 blocks, or 3 stacks + 32.

      For row 1, start at the north-west corner of the 11 × 11 footprint: skip 3 empty cells from its west edge, then place 5 blocks toward the east. Mark the row done and move one block south to start row 2.

      How to make a circle in Minecraft

      Row 1 is the north edge of the preview. Every “skip” is measured from the same west edge of the footprint, including a second run in the same row; it is not a gap measured from the last block placed. Work east along each row, then move one block south for the next row. Repeat the completed footprint at the next Y level you choose in game, and select the matching Current layer here. The planner does not set or track your game's Y coordinate. Full blocks only — stairs and slabs are not supported.

      Each layer has independent row checkmarks. Current layer and its − / + only change the layer you are viewing. Start layer N appears after every row in the current layer is checked, when another unfinished layer is available. Clear this layer clears only its checks and returns to row 1 without changing your dimensions; Undo clear restores them while available. Progress stays in this browser when storage is available.

      Circle generator FAQs

      How do I read this Minecraft circle chart?

      Each square in the circle chart is one full-block position. Deep green cells are blocks to place; bright green marks blocks in the current row, and checked blocks become muted gray-green. The light checkerboard cells stay empty. Treat the template's top edge as north and its left edge as west. Row 1 starts at the north edge. Follow each row from west to east, then move one block south. Every “skip” starts from the same west edge, even when a row contains two separate runs of blocks.

      How do I anchor a blueprint at world coordinates?

      Turn on Use world coordinates and enter the X and Z of the north-west cell of the entire rectangular footprint: row 1, column 1, even when that cell stays empty. Use integer block positions from your game, including a minus sign for negative coordinates, rather than decimal player positions. The origin is not the first block you place or the circle center. For an 11-block-wide plan anchored at X 100, Z −50, row 1's columns 4–8 are X 103–107, Z −50. Moving east adds to X; moving south adds to Z. Build all rows in one layer at the same Y level, then move up for the next layer. You choose Y in game; the layer selector does not change it automatically.

      Can I use this circle blueprint in Bedrock or Java?

      You can use the full-block blueprint as a manual building guide in Minecraft Bedrock or Java Edition. It runs in your browser and needs no mod. Follow the grid while placing blocks in the game; the tool does not connect to your world, place blocks automatically or import a structure. See how these calculations are checked for our current validation coverage.

      To skip the hand placing, open “More formats” and download a .litematic file for the Litematica mod (Java) or a .mcstructure file for a Bedrock structure block.

      Can I continue a build later or follow it on my phone?

      When browser storage is available, this planner saves your latest valid dimensions, footprint settings, wall height, selected layer, current row and optional block stock in this browser, along with each layer's row checks, and reopens that plan when you return. On a computer, a plan with checked rows opens on the 2D layers tab, which keeps the layer chart beside the current-row steps; on a phone, Build layer by layer follows the settings, with the layer chart above the current-row steps. Saved plans do not sync between devices or browsers, and clearing site data removes them. Downloads contain the blueprint without your current row or checked progress.

      What happens to checks when I change my plan?

      Each footprint geometry has separate progress. Changing the dimensions, fill or effective ring thickness shows the checks for that shape. Lowering the wall height hides upper layers; raising it again restores their saved checks. Older single-footprint checks are copied to layer 1 only, so higher layers start unchecked. Clear this layer affects only the selected layer.

      How do I compare materials with blocks I already have?

      Enter an optional whole number in Blocks already set aside to see whether it covers the full plan and how many blocks are missing or left over. Leave it blank to skip the comparison. Row checkmarks never consume or deduct this stock. The estimate counts full blocks, without crafting recipes, slabs or stairs.

      What does diameter mean, and where is the center?

      Diameter is the circle's full width in blocks; its geometric radius is half that width. An odd diameter such as 11 or 15 puts the center inside one block. An even diameter such as 12 or 16 puts it at the intersection of four blocks. For an oval with one odd dimension and one even dimension, the center lies halfway along the shared edge of two blocks. Turn on Show guides to see the center and the east–west and north–south midlines. These are alignment guides, not extra blocks to place.

      How do I generate an oval or ellipse?

      Turn on Use an oval footprint under Not a perfect circle?. Set Width for east–west and Depth for north–south; each accepts 3–300 blocks. Different values produce an oval footprint, while equal values produce a circle. Choose Hollow ring for an outline or Filled disc for a solid plan. Wall height in Building it more than one block high? repeats this footprint vertically to calculate materials and gives each layer its own progress; it does not change the top-view shape.

      Should I save my circle blueprint as PNG or SVG?

      Use PNG to save or share a ready-to-view image, sized up to 4096 pixels on its longest side. Use SVG for sharp numbers when enlarging or printing a large blueprint; numbers in a large PNG can be small. Both images show the selected layer with its title, the full grid, row and column rulers, the layer below in a faint color, dimensions and block count. A center marker helps align the build. When both dimensions are odd, a small box marks the center cell; otherwise, a cross marks the center on an edge or intersection. The marker does not add a block. Preview axes, the highlighted row and checked-off progress are not exported. Download TXT lists every layer row by row, with the cells to skip, the blocks to place and a link back to this plan; a circle lists its one footprint layer and says how many times to repeat it for the wall. With world coordinates on, the images and TXT also give the north-west corner, and TXT gives each row's world X and Z. Copy ASCII copies the selected layer as a simple #/. footprint. Download .litematic or .mcstructure for the whole shape in the block you choose.

      Can I make a perfect circle in Minecraft?

      Minecraft blocks sit on a square grid. This pixel circle generator includes a block when its center falls inside the chosen circle or oval. A hollow ring with thickness 1 keeps the outer outline; larger thicknesses add successive outlines inward. The thickness limit follows the shorter footprint dimension and leaves the center hollow: for example, a diameter of 3 allows thickness 1, 11 allows 5, and 300 allows 149. Shrinking the footprint reduces a previously valid thickness when needed, with a notice. Choose Filled disc to keep every included block. This is a grid approximation, so small circles have visible steps.

      How do I count blocks in a large circle?

      Plans can be up to 300 blocks wide and deep. Use + to make individual cells easier to see, then scroll or swipe within the blueprint. Use Fit to see the whole shape again. Each current-row card gives a continuous block count and its column range; column 1 is the west edge. Changing dimensions returns the view to Fit. Zoom never changes the block count or the downloaded blueprint.

      Does this use the Minecraft trademark?

      The word describes the game the blueprint is for. Sealmount is an independent fan-made tool, not an official Minecraft service. It is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
