## Quick Answer

Enter a diameter in whole blocks and the grid is drawn from one rule: a cell becomes a block when its centre falls inside a circle of that size. A 10-block circle is 28 blocks as an outline and 80 filled.

## Definition

A block circle is a grid approximation of a circle, not a circle. Because a square grid cannot hold a curve, a generator has to decide which cells count as being inside the shape, and the choice of rule is what makes one generator's pattern differ from another's. This one keeps a cell when the centre of that cell falls inside the requested circle or exactly on its edge, which produces a pattern that is exactly symmetric left to right and top to bottom at every size. The outline is the same shape with its interior removed. The tool is independent and is not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft.

## How to Use

1. **Choose diameter or radius** — Diameter is the number of blocks across. A radius of r produces a circle 2r blocks across.
2. **Enter a whole number of blocks** — Fractions are refused rather than rounded, because half a block is not something the grid can place.
3. **Pick outline or filled** — The outline is the filled circle with its interior removed, so the two always agree.
4. **Read the grid and the count** — The block count is taken from the grid on screen, and the pattern can be copied out as text.
