A sphere uses the most blocks for its size - every layer above ground needs scaffolding or a temporary center pillar.
How to build it
- Lay the widest ring as the equator first - it sets the size and shape.
- Build the bottom half layer by layer, shrinking each ring toward the bottom cap.
- Place a temporary pillar through the center to keep every layer aligned.
- Build the top half with growing rings until you pass the equator.
- Finish with the top cap, then remove the temporary pillar.
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 Sphere lines up exactly where you want it to be.
