Select a layer and copy its marked blocks at the matching height.
Repeat every layer in order and use the total count for materials.

Calculation

Formula and game rule

A cell is included when its three-dimensional distance is inside the outer radius and outside the radius minus one block.

Worked example

Example result

For an 11-block sphere, begin at layer 1, keep the same centre point, and advance one vertical block for each displayed layer.

What to check before using the result

The output is a hollow one-block shell, not a solid sphere.
The top and bottom layers mirror each other; checking that symmetry catches common building errors.

Java and Bedrock Edition

The generated block layout is edition-independent and works in Java or Bedrock worlds.
