PixelCirclesCircle Chart for Minecraft
Every thin circle from 5 to 50 blocks across, drawn block by block. Click a circle to open it in the circle generator.
How to use the circle chart
The big number under each drawing is the diameter: how many blocks the circle is across. The second number is how many blocks the thin outline takes. Find the size you need, mark the centre in your world, and copy one quarter before mirroring it.
Neighbouring sizes can look quite different. Some have smooth, even steps all the way around, while others have a flat run or a sharper corner. Scan a few sizes around the one you planned and pick the ring you like best.
For thick or filled circles, sizes above 50, or a row-by-row count, open the size in the circle generator. It goes up to 256.
Circle sizes for common builds
| Diameter | Good for | Thin | Thick | Filled |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Wells, lamp posts, small towers | 16 | 24 | 37 |
| 11 | Towers with a ladder or spiral stairs inside | 28 | 40 | 97 |
| 15 | Round rooms, tower floors, fountains | 40 | 56 | 177 |
| 21 | Castle keeps, domes, base hubs | 56 | 80 | 349 |
| 31 | Arenas, plazas, large domes | 84 | 120 | 749 |
| 45 | Stadiums, mega-base foundations | 124 | 176 | 1,597 |
Odd vs. even diameters
An odd diameter, such as 15, has one block exactly in the middle. That block is where a beacon, a fountain spout or a centre pillar goes, and each side has a single centre block for a 1-wide door.
An even diameter, such as 16, has a 2 × 2 centre instead. It suits 2-wide doors, double staircases and builds that join up with other even-sized parts. Neither is better; pick the one that matches the rest of the build.
Printing the chart
Use your browser's print command. The site header and footer are left out of the printout, and the circles are laid out six to a row on each page. For one large plan, print it from the generator instead.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Minecraft circle chart?
A sheet of ready-made circle plans, one per size. Find the diameter you want and copy the blocks, without entering anything into a generator.
What circle size should I use for a tower?
Between 9 and 15 blocks across for most towers. Smaller towers feel cramped inside; larger ones need a lot of blocks per layer.
Why do some sizes look rounder than others?
Some diameters happen to give even steps all the way around, while others end up with a flat run or a sharp corner. Compare neighbouring sizes on the chart and pick the one you like best.
How do I use the chart while building?
Find the centre of the drawing, place a marker block in your world, then count out to the edge along each row. Open a size in the generator to count row by row.
Should I use an odd or an even diameter?
Odd sizes have a single centre block and suit 1-wide doors. Even sizes have a 2 × 2 centre and suit 2-wide doors.
