11 block circle in Minecraft (radius 5)
A 11-block-wide circle takes 28 blocks for a 1-block outline and 97 to fill it. Go around each quarter in runs of 5·1·1·5. The centre is a single block, because 11 is odd.

| Outline, thin wall (diagonal steps) | 28 |

| Filled disc | 97 |
| Flat edge on each side | 5 |

Rule: a block counts when its centre lies inside the circle, the same grid the game uses. Checked 21 Oct 2026.
How to build it
- Mark the centre block. Count 5 blocks out from the centre block in all four directions and mark those four points.
- Place the four flat edges of 5. Centre each flat edge on one of the four points: 2 blocks either side of it.
- Fill each corner with 1·1. After each run, step one block diagonally inward and place the next run. Do the same in all four corners.
- Repeat for each layer. A straight wall is the same ring on every layer (a 5-high wall takes 140 blocks). A dome or sphere shrinks the ring as it goes up.
All 11 rows, north to south
Each row lists its runs of blocks from west to east; "2-2" means 2 blocks, a gap, then 2 blocks.

Questions
How many blocks is a 11 block circle?
28 blocks for a 1-block outline with diagonal steps, 40 for an outline with no diagonal gaps, and 97 for a filled disc.
Should I build 11 or 10?
11 is odd, so the circle has one centre block: doors, beacons and pillars line up with the middle. 10 has a 2×2 centre instead.
How many blocks for a 11 sphere or dome?
A hollow 11 block sphere with a 1-block shell takes 278 blocks; a hollow 11 dome (6 layers, open at the bottom) takes 149. Plan them layer by layer in the sphere generator or the dome generator.
Thin or thick outline?
A thin outline (28 blocks) steps diagonally, so mobs and water can slip through the corners. A thick outline (40 blocks) adds a block at every step, which makes a sealed wall.
