Materials needed

To build this Dome you will need:

261 blocks261
5 stacks of 645
about 2 minutes2

Layers shrink as you go up, so the ground ring uses the most blocks. A center pillar keeps every layer aligned.

How to build it

  1. Start with the full base circle on the ground, just like a flat circle.
  2. Stack each next layer with a smaller ring, keeping the same center.
  3. Follow the blueprint layer grid for the exact ring size of every layer.
  4. Use slabs or stairs to smooth the curve as it gets steeper.
  5. Close the top with the smallest ring and fill the center block.

Copy it as /setblock commands

Open the generator and hit Copy /setblock to get every block as a Minecraft command. Add your world coordinates and the whole Dome lines up exactly where you want it to be.
