What it is

MinecraftDome is a free, open-source web app that generates dome geometry and construction plans for Minecraft. You draw connected square-mesh surfaces in circles, rectangles, diamonds, ellipses, or hyperellipses, then add anchors to constrain them. Anchors within a layer are treated as points on a plane defined by three points. Shape calculations include parabolic, catenary, and roof loads; setting load values to zero creates a soap-bubble effect. The display can show ideal blocks, a line grid, or Minecraft blocks, with an option requiring adjacent blocks to meet by a face. Generated plans are fixed-width plain text for copying, pasting, or printing. X and Z markers appear every 16 blocks and Y markers every 8, with chunk-line offsets. The documented version has no save, restore, or undo. Catenary calculations can run to infinity, so reset may be needed.

Maker
The pages identify Paul Murray as the maker and suggest optional PayPal donations; they state no headquarters or founding date.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Anchors
Users can place anchors to constrain the surface, and anchors in one layer are treated as lying on a plane defined by three points.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Calculation limits
Catenary calculations can run off to infinity, and the instructions advise keeping the reset button nearby.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Chunk alignment
Construction plans mark X and Z every 16 blocks and Y every 8 blocks, with offset controls for chunk-boundary lines.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Compatibility
The maker says the app worked for him in Firefox 54.0.1 on a six-year-old MacBook Pro and notes that results may vary.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Construction plans
The app generates fixed-width plain-text plans that users can copy, paste, or print.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Display
The display can show ideal blocks, a grid of lines, and Minecraft blocks, with an option to require adjacent blocks to connect by a face.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Save and undo
The documented version has no save, restore, or undo function.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io
Shape calculations
Generation parameters include parabolic load, catenary load, and roof load; zero load values produce a soap-bubble effect.Read 8 Oct 2026 · paulmurraycbr.github.io

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Free and open source
  • Supports several mesh shapes
  • Provides 3D block display
  • Produces fixed-width construction plans
  • Includes coordinate markers

Limits

  • No save, restore, or undo
  • Catenary calculations may run indefinitely
  • Browser results may vary
  • Optional donations are suggested

Who it suits

It suits Minecraft builders who want geometric dome layouts and printable coordinate plans in a browser. It is also useful for users comfortable with a tool that lacks saved projects and undo.

Verdict

MinecraftDome focuses on generating constrained dome surfaces and plain-text building plans without a paid account. Its missing project storage and potentially runaway catenary calculations are important workflow limitations.
