Minecraft Circle Chart

The exact block count for every circle size from 1 to 100 — outline, filled and how many stacks it costs. Work out what to gather before you start building.

Popular sizes

The diameters that come up most often when building, and what people usually build at each size. Odd numbers, so every one of them has a centre block.

Diameter	Outline blocks	Filled blocks	Filled in stacks	Good for

Every size from 1 to 100

Odd and even diameters, calculated by the same engine that draws the circles in the generator, so the chart and the build always agree. Each row has its own link: #d30 jumps straight to the 30x30 row, which is handy when you are answering someone in a thread.

Need the layout, not just the count?

This page tells you how many blocks a circle costs. If you want to see which blocks go where, the Minecraft circle generator draws the grid for any size and lets you tick blocks off as you place them. For curved roofs, the sphere and dome generator works out each layer.

How it works

Find your diameter in the table — every size from 1 to 100 is listed, odd and even.
Read the outline column for a hollow ring: walls, towers and pond edges.
Read the filled column for a solid disc: floors, roofs and platforms.
Check the stacks column so you know how much to carry before you fly out.
Open the generator if you want the block-by-block layout for that size.

Frequently asked questions

How many blocks do I need for a 30x30 circle in Minecraft?

A 30x30 circle takes 84 blocks for the outline and 716 blocks for a filled disc, which is 11 stacks and 12 blocks. Every number in this chart is calculated by the same engine that draws the circles, so it matches what you place in game.

Why do some sizes need the same number of blocks for the outline?

Rounding. A 30x30 and a 31x31 outline both come out at 84 blocks because the extra half block per side does not always add a new block to the ring. The filled counts still differ, because the disc grows with area rather than perimeter.

Should I use an odd or an even diameter?

Odd diameters have a single centre block, which makes it easy to line a circle up with a tower, a fountain or a nether portal. Even diameters have a 2x2 centre instead, and are handy when you are matching an existing wall that is an even number of blocks wide.

What is the difference between outline and filled?

Outline is the hollow ring you build for walls, towers and rims. Filled is the solid disc you build for floors, ceilings and platforms. A 51x51 circle is 144 blocks as an outline but 2,053 blocks filled, so the difference matters when you are gathering materials.

Does this work for spheres and domes too?

No. These counts are for flat circles. A sphere is built from a stack of circles of different sizes, so its total is much higher than any single row here. Use the sphere and dome generator for those, which works out each layer for you.

Is the chart free to use?

Yes, and there is nothing to install or sign up for. The whole table is generated when the page is built, so it loads as plain text and works offline once you have opened it.
