Minecraft Circle Generator (Java & Bedrock)
Pick a diameter and the grid shows exactly where each block goes. A 25-block circle outline uses 96 blocks; a filled 25-block circle uses 489.

Counts come from the same generator as the tool above, so they always match the grid.
How to use it
- Choose the diameter: the width of the circle in blocks. Odd numbers give one centre block.
- Pick Hollow for a ring or Filled for a solid disc. Turn on Oval if you need different width and height.
- Place a marker block where you want the centre (the yellow box on the grid).
- Build row by row: open the row-by-row guide, or count along the darker lines, which mark every 5 blocks.
- Use Share link to save the exact layout, or Download PNG to keep it on a second screen.
How it works
Each block is placed if its centre falls inside the perfect shape that fits your size exactly. Hollow shapes keep only the blocks within your chosen wall thickness of the outside, so walls never have gaps. Every number on this page is calculated, not typed by hand.
Questions
What is the difference between Solid wall and Thin outline?
With Solid wall every block touches the next one by a full face, so the ring has no diagonal gaps. Thin outline uses fewer blocks, but some blocks only meet at their corners.
How do I make an oval in Minecraft?
Turn on Oval, then set a different width and height. The grid redraws as an ellipse that fills exactly that box.
Does this work for Minecraft Bedrock and Java?
Yes. Blocks are the same size in Java and Bedrock, so the same layout works in both editions and in every version.
Why is the centre a 2×2 square on even sizes?
An even diameter has no single middle block, so the centre falls between four blocks. Use an odd size (like 25) if you want one middle block to build from.
