What MinecraftDome is
MinecraftDome is a free web app for shaping Minecraft domes and producing plans for building them. Start with a connected square mesh and choose a surface such as a circle, rectangle, ellipse, diamond, or hyperellipse. Anchors let you constrain the surface; within a layer, the app treats them as lying on a plane defined by three points. Shape generation includes parabolic load, catenary load, and roof load settings. Setting load values to zero creates a soap-bubble effect. A 3D display can show ideal blocks, a line grid, or Minecraft blocks, with an option to require neighboring blocks to meet along a face. When ready, generate a fixed-width plain-text construction plan to copy, paste, or print. The plan marks X and Z coordinates at 16-block intervals and Y at 8-block intervals; offset controls adjust chunk-boundary lines. The documented version has no save, restore, or undo function, and catenary calculations can run off to infinity.

Getting started
- Open the MinecraftDome website in a web browser.
- Draw a connected square-mesh surface using a supported shape.
- Add anchors and adjust the surface and load settings.
- Choose how the shape is displayed and whether adjacent blocks must connect by a face.
- Generate the plain-text plan and copy, paste, or print it.
Verdict
Choose MinecraftDome if you want to shape a Minecraft dome in a browser and get a text plan with coordinate and chunk markings. Its lack of save and undo functions may be a drawback if you need to preserve or revise a design later.
