Build a round castle tower by drawing a circle with blocks first.
- New skill Making circles out of square blocks
- Level 1 · The Village
- Difficulty Beginner
- Mode Creative
- Time 40–50 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Square blocks, round tower? You'll draw a circle on paper, copy it onto the ground with a bright block square by square, and fly up to check it looks round. Then build stone walls up on the outline, add windows and a door, and crown it with a roof or battlements.
Finish line: Your tower looks round from above and has a door, windows and a top.
Bonus challenge: Hang your village banner from Mission 27 on top of the tower.
You’ll need
- Stone bricks
- One bright block for the outline
- A circle drawn on paper
You choose
- Tower size and height
- Pointy roof or flat top with battlements
- What's inside (stairs, a lookout, a flag)
Stuck?
- Looks more like a square? Fly straight above it to check, then nudge the corner blocks inwards.
- Odd widths like 9 or 11 have one centre block, which makes the circle easier to plan.
- Copy one quarter of the circle first, then mirror it for the other three.
