What to know about mazes

Exit path one. A maze with no rings or cut corners: there is exactly one path between any two cells.
Seed — a labyrinth. Same sid and size produce the same layout, so you can share a page link instead of a file.
Cannot jump over two-block walls. Players jump slightly more than one block high, but in Survival mode they can place blocks to climb the walls. Add a glass roof to prevent this.
Data pack for 26.3. Template .nbt uses the format written by the selected version. Testing confirmed that 1.21.11 places it as an empty structure. For older versions, follow the blueprint and material list, which are version-independent.
Size is in blocks, not cells. Each maze cell includes a corridor and a wall. A 12×12-cell maze occupies 25×25 blocks with one-block corridors, or 37×37 with two-block corridors.

Round walls and domes will be calculated. generator circles creates an image from blocks — pixel art. Filling a large area will help generator /fill.

Frequently asked questions

How to build a maze in Minecraft?

Generate a blueprint, count blocks, and place a template with the /place template command or build from the blueprint above. The page will collect both.

What size should the maze be?

For a minigame, try 10–15 maze cells in each direction. With one-block corridors, that occupies 21–31 blocks per side, including walls.

How to prevent mobs from walking along the walls of a maze?

Cover it with a glass roof: the sky is visible, but you cannot climb up or walk along the walls.
