How to build a Zombie Nautilus statue in Minecraft
The Zombie 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.
- 18 × 21 × 26 blocks (wide × tall × long)
- 1,997 blocks hollow (1 shulker box + 4 stacks + 13), 3,949 solid
- 21 layers from the bottom up
- 25 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 |
|---|---|
| Smooth Sandstone | 310 (4 stacks + 54) |
| Bone Block | 296 (4 stacks + 40) |
| Green Terracotta | 257 (4 stacks + 1) |
| Light Gray Concrete | 211 (3 stacks + 19) |
| Stripped Spruce Wood | 124 (1 stack + 60) |
| Stripped Birch Wood | 122 (1 stack + 58) |
| Blue Wool | 93 (1 stack + 29) |
| Red Mushroom Block | 89 (1 stack + 25) |
| Gray Concrete | 83 (1 stack + 19) |
| Red Concrete | 71 (1 stack + 7) |
| Magenta Concrete | 64 (1 stack) |
| Pink Concrete | 41 |
…and 13 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.
