Cone — a stack of circles, each slightly smaller than the one below: used to build a round tower, volcano, or hill. Set the diameter and height to generate a circle for each layer.

Shape and size

Base diameter — up to 100, height — up to 128. A block stands if its center is inside the shape.

Wall

The shell has no floor: its bottom layer is a ring around the edge. Thin outlines meet at corners; thick outlines close the diagonal gaps.

Layer

The previous layer appears faintly beneath the current one, so you can see how each row shifts. Build from the bottom up.

How to build

  1. Mark the center

    Mark the center of the base, then count out the longest row of the bottom layer from that point.

  2. Layer by layer from the bottom

    The table shows where each row begins. Once a layer is complete, select Layer above; the previous layer stays faintly visible.

  3. Count blocks in advance

    The material list shows both total blocks and stacks. Hollow shapes use far fewer blocks than solid ones.

What to know about block shapes

  • The block is standing if its center is within the shape Rule applies uniformly to all shapes and sizes, without 'aesthetic adjustments': the scheme does not lie about size.
  • Thin wall is visible through the joints. Blocks on steps touch the corners. For walls where people walk, use a thick block.
  • Odd size — with a central block. An even width puts the center between blocks, which works well for a two-block-wide passage.
