Minecraft Arch Generator
Generate a round arch for doorways, bridges and gates, with adjustable piers and depth, then download it as a schematic.
About Minecraft Arch Generator
This Minecraft arch generator draws a smooth curved arch from 3 to 64 blocks wide, with an adjustable rise, arch thickness, pier height and depth. Use it for doorways, gatehouses, bridges, aqueducts and cathedral windows.
Preview it in 3D, copy the outline from Layer View, or download it as a .litematic for Litematica or a .schem for WorldEdit.
How to build an arch in Minecraft
Set the width to the opening you need and the rise to how high the curve goes. Add pier height to stand the arch on straight columns, then set the depth to how many blocks thick the arch is front to back. Build the front face from the preview and repeat it for the depth.
Bridges and aqueducts
For a bridge, use a wide arch with a low rise. For an aqueduct or a row of arches, download one arch and paste it repeatedly along the line with WorldEdit, or follow it with Litematica.
Doorways and windows
Small arches with tall piers make doorways and cathedral style windows. An arch thickness of 1 keeps the curve crisp; thicker arches suit castle gates.
