How to Make a Circle in Minecraft

Minecraft has no round blocks, so circles are built from square ones, approximating the shape of a circle. However, you can create figures that resemble circles as closely as possible using a pixel technique. This guide will show you how to correctly build circles of various sizes step by step.

General Building Principles

1. Build a central cross – its length and width should match the size of the circle (for example, for a 9x9 circle the cross should be 9 blocks in each direction).
2. Add the circle's borders – place additional blocks at the ends of the cross.
3. Form the curves – connect the borders with diagonal lines.

How to Make a 7x7 Circle

1. Build a central cross (7 blocks in length and width).

2. Add 1 block at the end of each axis.

3. Add diagonal blocks at the corners, as shown in the image.

1. Build a central cross (9 blocks in length and width).
2. Add 2 blocks at the end of each axis.
3. Add diagonal blocks at the corners, as shown in the image, to connect the borders and create a rounded shape.
