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.
