What this tool does
Choose a size and generate horizontal slices for a sphere, dome, or orb-style structure. Layer views help you build from bottom to top without losing the shape halfway through.

Sphere Generator: Mega Build Blueprint
Building a perfect sphere in Minecraft by hand is one of the hardest challenges in the game. Our 3D generator calculates the exact block positions for any diameter, hollow or filled, and shows you every layer with a live interactive viewport.
Whether you're building a giant dome base, a planetary decoration, or a pixel-art globe — this tool gives you a precise, layer-by-layer blueprint to follow in-game.
Layer-by-Layer Export
Step through every Y-level slice of your sphere one at a time. Copy the coordinate list for any individual layer directly, then build each floor exactly as shown — no more estimation.
Dome Mode
A dome is just the top half of a sphere. Use the layer viewer to navigate to the midpoint, then build upward from there. Our tool shows you exactly which layers to use for a perfect semicircle dome.
Sphere Builder FAQ
How does this handle even-numbered diameters?
Even diameters use a center-offset calculation rather than a simple midpoint, which avoids the lopsided block placement that other generators produce. The result is a symmetrical sphere that looks clean from every angle.
Can I build a dome using this tool?
Yes. A dome is the top half of a sphere. Use the layer slider to navigate to the midpoint layer, then build from there upward. The block counts and positions are exact — just follow the highlighted blocks per layer.
What is the difference between Hollow and Filled spheres?
Hollow generates only the outer shell — the minimum blocks needed to form the sphere shape. Filled generates every block inside the sphere as well, suitable for solid planetary builds or large decorative objects.
How do I use the coordinate export?
Click "Copy All 3D Coords" to get relative coordinates for every block in the structure. Paste these into a spreadsheet or use a fill/clone command sequence to place them in bulk on your server.
What is the maximum sphere size?
The generator can handle very large radii, but performance in the 3D viewer drops significantly above ~100 blocks diameter. For extremely large builds, use the layer-by-layer view and export coords layer by layer.
Build Blueprint
Minecraft Sphere Generator for Domes and Orbs
The sphere generator creates layer-by-layer Minecraft sphere blueprints so large round builds are easier to place in survival or creative mode.
Construction tips
Large spheres are easier with a central scaffold and labeled layers. Keep the blueprint open, finish one slice at a time, and check symmetry before moving upward.
Quick questions
Is a sphere just stacked circles?
Yes, but each layer has a different radius. The generator handles those radius changes for you.
Should I build hollow or solid?
Hollow is faster for decorative builds; solid is useful for terrain or sculpture work.
