How to build a giant Command Block in Minecraft
The Command Block block, 16 times bigger: every pixel of its real texture becomes one block. Plan it, gather the exact blocks and build it layer by layer.
- 16 × 16 × 16 blocks (wide × tall × long)
- 1,352 blocks hollow (21 stacks + 8), 4,096 solid
- 16 layers from the bottom up
- 20 kinds of block
Blocks you need
For the hollow build at real size, with 1-block walls. In the builder you can pick other block groups, a different size (½× up to 16×) or a solid build, and the list changes with it.
| Block | Count |
|---|---|
| Clay | 252 (3 stacks + 60) |
| White Terracotta | 226 (3 stacks + 34) |
| Stripped Jungle Wood | 176 (2 stacks + 48) |
| Orange Terracotta | 156 (2 stacks + 28) |
| Orange Concrete | 132 (2 stacks + 4) |
| Brown Wool | 106 (1 stack + 42) |
| White Concrete | 73 (1 stack + 9) |
| Smooth Red Sandstone | 64 (1 stack) |
| Light Blue Terracotta | 51 |
| Stripped Dark Oak Wood | 48 |
| Brown Concrete | 26 |
| Stripped Cherry Wood | 11 |
…and 8 more kinds of block, listed in the builder.
How to build it
- Plan: choose the blocks you have, the size, hollow or solid, and the build direction.
- Gather: get the exact block list in stacks and shulker boxes, or download it as a Litematica schematic.
- Build: place one layer at a time, with a 3D view and a 2D map of each layer that counts the blocks in every row.
