Minecraft Cube & Box Generator
Work out a solid or hollow cube or box: set the base width and height, pick solid or walls-only, and get the exact block count. Preview each layer or rotate the box in 3D.
How to Use the Cube & Box Generator
Work out a solid or hollow cube or box — set a base width and height, choose walls-only or filled — with the exact block count.

- 2Choose solid or hollow walls
- 3Read the block count and layout
- 4Rotate the 3D view to check it
Example Use Cases
- Rooms, halls and frames
- Glass tanks and aquariums
- Costing a solid fill before placing it

Set the height equal to the width for a perfect cube
Use hollow for rooms and tanks — just the six faces
The block count is your shopping list before you start mining
Frequently Asked Questions
How many blocks are in a Minecraft cube?
A solid cube of side N is N times N times N blocks — a 10x10x10 cube is 1,000 blocks. A hollow cube (walls only) is far fewer. This generator gives the exact count for a solid or hollow cube or box of any size.
What is the difference between a cube and a box?
A cube has equal sides; a box lets the height differ from the base. Here you set a base width and a height, so you can make a perfect cube (height equal to width) or a taller/shorter box.
How do I build a hollow box?
Choose the outline style — the generator keeps only the six outer faces (walls, floor and ceiling) as a one-block shell. That is what you want for rooms, tanks and frames rather than a solid block of material.
Why use a generator for a cube?
Mostly for the exact block count and a hollow-shell layout — handy when you are gathering materials for a large room or a glass tank, or checking how much a solid fill will cost before you place it.
