How to build a giant Hay Bale in Minecraft
The Hay Bale 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
- 6 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 |
|---|---|
| Yellow Terracotta | 864 (13 stacks + 32) |
| Bamboo Mosaic | 152 (2 stacks + 24) |
| Sponge | 108 (1 stack + 44) |
| Yellow Concrete | 108 (1 stack + 44) |
| Orange Terracotta | 70 (1 stack + 6) |
| Red Terracotta | 50 |
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.
