Two-axis footprint tool
Minecraft Oval Generator
Create oval and ellipse footprints for Minecraft builds where a circle is too compact. Set width and height independently, then follow the grid pattern.
This planner tests each block center against an ellipse. Other generators may use a different edge rule, so block totals can differ while both patterns remain symmetrical.

Turn Builder on, then use Next/Play or click selected blocks directly in the preview. Completed blocks receive a check mark.
Copy and export
TXT contains the visual pattern and centered coordinates. JSON includes rows, coordinates, and row/column counts. Shared links omit private Builder progress.
If your build needs a round footprint before moving into this planner, start with the Minecraft Circle Generator to create the base circle, tower outline, arena ring, or circular wall first.

How to use
Build from the generated plan, not from guesswork.
- 1. Enter the width and height you want or apply a practical racetrack, plaza, pond, hall, or garden preset.
- 2. Use outline mode for walls and paths or filled mode for floors, ponds, and garden beds.
- 3. Use row and column counts, centered coordinates, zoom, and the optional Builder to place the pattern accurately.
- 4. Copy a share link or export TXT, PNG, SVG, or JSON before moving the plan into Minecraft.
Output guide
Use each output for a different building job.
The Canvas preview supports zoom, fullscreen, grid and axis toggles, centered coordinates, and edge counts.
Builder Mode marks individual blocks complete and saves progress for the current oval on this device.
TXT, PNG, SVG, and JSON exports provide visual plans, centered coordinates, and machine-readable rows.

FAQ
Minecraft Oval Generator FAQ
Is a Minecraft oval the same as an ellipse?
For building purposes, yes. The tool uses ellipse math and presents it as a block-based oval footprint.
Can I make a filled oval?
Yes. Filled mode marks every block inside the oval boundary.
How do I make an oval racetrack?
Use an outline oval with a larger thickness, then build the track from the generated ring.
Why is one side slightly different?
Square blocks cannot represent a perfect mathematical ellipse, especially with even dimensions, so edge choices are rounded to the grid.
Why does another oval generator show a different block count?
Generators may define the radius and edge boundary differently. This tool tests each block center against an ellipse and keeps the result symmetrical, but another valid method may select different edge blocks.
Can I save or share my oval plan?
Yes. Settings and Builder progress save locally on this device, while the share link includes width, height, mode, and thickness without exposing private progress.
Which export should I use?
Use PNG while building, SVG for a crisp scalable plan, TXT for a readable pattern and coordinates, or JSON for scripts and structured block placement data.
