How to build an Elder Guardian statue in Minecraft
The Elder Guardian from the real game model, turned into blocks: one block for every pixel of its texture. Plan it, gather the exact blocks and build it layer by layer.
- 16 × 16 × 23 blocks (wide × tall × long)
- 1,191 blocks hollow (18 stacks + 39), 3,612 solid
- 16 layers from the bottom up
- 12 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.

|---|---|
| Light Gray Wool | 586 (9 stacks + 10) |
| Mushroom Stem | 235 (3 stacks + 43) |
| Light Gray Concrete | 194 (3 stacks + 2) |

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.
