10-tier pyramid: 385 blocks total.

  • Your 10-tier pyramid has a 10 x 10 base and a single block at the peak.
  • The base layer alone uses 100 blocks - 26.0% of the total.
  • The top half (tiers 1-5) uses only 55 blocks; the bottom half accounts for 330 blocks.
  • For a hollow pyramid (only the outer shell), subtract the interior: each layer n contributes 4n - 4 blocks instead of n squared, except the 1 x 1 peak.

Next stepUse inventory mode to check if your current block supply is enough before you start building.
