How to build a Nautilus statue in Minecraft
The Nautilus 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.
- 14 × 18 × 25 blocks (wide × tall × long)
- 1,912 blocks hollow (1 shulker box + 2 stacks + 56), 3,798 solid
- 18 layers from the bottom up
- 16 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 |
|---|---|
| Mushroom Stem | 271 (4 stacks + 15) |
| Stripped Acacia Wood | 256 (4 stacks) |
| Smooth Quartz | 249 (3 stacks + 57) |
| Red Wool | 244 (3 stacks + 52) |
| Orange Concrete | 191 (2 stacks + 63) |
| Waxed Exposed Copper | 164 (2 stacks + 36) |
| Red Concrete | 137 (2 stacks + 9) |
| Terracotta | 112 (1 stack + 48) |
| White Terracotta | 88 (1 stack + 24) |
| Stripped Cherry Wood | 71 (1 stack + 7) |
| Brown Mushroom Block | 56 |
| Red Terracotta | 43 |
…and 4 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.
