So I started with the basic circle, considering I'm going to need to add two smaller circles onto this one later I needed to get this one right. I started with a row of 14 red stained clay blocks. To get the circular pattern I dropped down a row and added two blocks on the left and right. Twice. I then added singular blocks for 5 rows. Then I added two blocks in two rows, twice to get the edge for the column of 14 at the side.
Basically:
Step 1: Starting from the top create a row of 14 blocks.
Step 2: Drop down a row and over a column, add two blocks parallel to the 14.
Step 3: Drop down another row and over another column, add two more parallel blocks.
Step 4: Drop down a row and over a column, add 1 block. Repeat step (x5). I have seen this done with only 3 but I feel it is more oval then circular.
Step 5: Drop down a row and over a column. Add 1 block. Go down a row. Add second block. You will now have two blocks in a line perpendicular to the first row of 14. Repeat Once.
Step 6: Drop down a row and over a column. Make a column of 14.
Step 7: Repeat Pattern on other side and bottom to complete base.
So that's how I created the base of the main tower. I'm sure there are other ways to do this.Probably much fancier ways but this seemed simplest. I've seen someone use red wool before, I don't really understand why but hey it was red and it worked, just seemed a bit weird.
Okay so that's the base. I'll get to actually creating the walls next.

The walls were rather easy. Just 7 blocks high, so add 6 blocks to your base.
Basically:
Step 1: Add 6 blocks to your base.
Step 2: Complete the circle to equal heights.
Step 3: Complete!
Super simple. Takes a while to do it manually but there is a cheat code //wand. So you create one vertical column to your preferred height.
So say you were working on the row of 14. You start on the left and add blocks until your preferred height. You left click the top block. You would then go to the right hand side of the 14 blocks and tap the last block in the base row. Then type the cheat //set red or whatever colour of block you want. It will fill in the blocks from the left to right side to your preferred height. I'm pretty terrible at this sort of stuff so I placed blocks manually. But I do suggest you try the cheat codes at least once just to try them out.
is there anymore to it cuz thats not it?
