Generate the block grid for circles and ellipses to build in Minecraft
Building circles in Minecraft is hard precisely because everything is made of square blocks. This tool solves that by generating the exact block grid that approximates a circle or ellipse of whatever size you choose. You set the width and height (keeping them equal for a circle or different for an ellipse), choose between the outline, ideal for rings and domes, or filled, for disks and platforms, and the tool calculates the block count and draws the grid with reference lines. Under the hood, each block is included when its center falls inside the ellipse, and the extreme points are always kept to preserve symmetry, with the diameter reaching up to 150 blocks per side. You can copy the result as text for a quick guide, download a PNG image to reference while you build, or copy ready /fill commands (relative to the player) so the game builds the pattern for you, as long as you have operator permission in the world.
Because Minecraft is made of cubes, a true circle has to be approximated with blocks. The tool tests, cell by cell, whether the center of each block falls inside the ellipse defined by your chosen width and height, the ones that fall inside are filled. A small adjustment keeps the extreme points (top, bottom, left and right) always included, which makes the shape more symmetrical, especially at even diameters.
In filled mode, all inside blocks are kept, forming a disk. In outline mode, the tool keeps only the inside blocks that touch an outside block in the four directions, producing a one-block-thick border. Finally, the total block count is tallied, and you can view the grid with reference lines, copy it as text, download a PNG, or copy the ready /fill commands so the game builds the pattern for you.
For a round tower or a dome, generate a circle in outline mode at the base diameter, say, 15 blocks. You reproduce the ring layer by layer as you raise the walls; for a dome, stack several outlines of decreasing diameter until you close the top.
For a circular floor, an arena or a platform, use filled mode at the same diameter to get the complete disk. Need an oval shape, like a stadium or an elongated lake? Unlink width and height and set different values (for example, 30 by 18) to generate the matching ellipse.
The grid works as a reference map: you consult it while building, counting the blocks in each row, or use the ready /fill commands to let the game place the blocks itself. Because everything is computed in the browser, you can copy it as text for a quick guide or download the PNG and open it on your phone next to the game.
A few limits: the maximum diameter is 150 blocks per side, enough for most builds; for full spheres and domes, use the site's Voxel Sphere Generator, or generate several circles here and stack them layer by layer yourself. Very small circles always look more "square", because there are few blocks to approximate the curve, the larger the diameter, the smoother the result.
Paste the code into your HTML and the tool shows up on your page, without J-Kit's navigation and ads. It still runs in the browser of whoever visits your site.

Pick the diameter you want, generate the outline grid and reproduce the pattern block by block in-game, usually starting from the four cardinal points (top, bottom, left and right) and following the curve. To skip counting blocks by hand, copy the ready /fill commands (relative coordinates) and paste them into the game chat. The larger the diameter, the smoother the circle.
Generates ready /fill commands (coordinates relative to the player) so the game builds the pattern for you; stand at the center of the circle before pasting them in chat, and you need operator permission.
The grid is computed locally in the browser; nothing is sent to servers.
