Minecraft Circle Chart: Printable Charts for Every Size

This page is a lookup sheet: pick a diameter, read off the row lengths and the block count, and print the chart if you want it beside the screen. There is a filled and an outline chart for every diameter from 3 to 64. For any other size, or a thicker ring, use the Minecraft circle generator.

Jump to a size band: smallest · small · medium · large · largest. Each chart has an id such as #d37-filled or #d37-outline, so you can also bookmark one.

Go straight to a diameter. Filled: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64

Outline: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64

How the charts are drawn

A perfect circle cannot be placed in vanilla Minecraft, because blocks are square. Each chart here is the nearest block approximation under one stated rule: a cell is part of the disc when its centre lies no further from the centre of the grid than half the diameter. Cells exactly on that boundary count as in. In integer form, with the grid columns i and rows j numbered from 0 at the top left, that is (2i+1−D)² + (2j+1−D)² ≤ D².

The filled chart is every cell that passes. The outline chart keeps only the cells that touch a cell outside the disc along one of the four sides, which gives a one-block-thick ring. The generator on the home page uses the same rule, and every chart here was compared cell by cell with the generator’s output for the same diameter and style, so a chart and the tool give the same counts. Other builders may draw their circles differently, so their counts for the same diameter can differ.

How to read a chart

Each square is one block. The numbered list under each grid gives the number of blocks in each row, from the top. On a filled chart that is one unbroken run. On an outline chart it is only the total for the row, so build from the grid, not the list: on the diameter 8 outline, the second row reads 2, one block at each end with the middle empty, while the top row reads 4, an unbroken run. Charts up to diameter 32 print the row total beside every grid row. Larger charts have no row labels, so read the list from the top and count down the grid, or use the grid’s own lines. The grey × in each grid marks the centre (for even sizes, the corner shared by the four middle blocks). Every chart is symmetric, so the top half of the list is enough. The block count is the number of coloured squares. The stacks figure is the block count divided by 64 and rounded up, because most blocks stack to 64 (Minecraft Wiki, Item). Some items stack to 16 or not at all, but full blocks do not. To work out stacks for a different material list, use the stack and shulker calculator.

If you do not yet know how to turn row lengths into a build, the how-to guide walks through it. If you are choosing between an even and an odd diameter, see even vs odd circle diameter. For a wider-than-deep shape, use the oval generator.
