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.

How to build
- Mark the center
Mark the center of the base, then count out the longest row of the bottom layer from that point.
- 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.
- 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.
Circle, ellipse, and full sphere — in generator of circles and spheres, block text — in block signs.
