How to build Eiffel Tower in Minecraft

The Iron Lady, 75 blocks tall: four lattice legs that lean in as they rise, the great arches between them, two viewing platforms, a slender spire and a beacon at the very top.

Open the interactive 3D plan above to build it one layer at a time: every layer has a numbered top-down plan, a block list and full-screen step-by-step instructions you can tick off as you go. You can also download it for Litematica, WorldEdit or Minecraft Bedrock, or view it in your room in AR.

Building tips

  1. Build the four legs together, one layer at a time. Each leg is a hollow square that steps inward as you go up.
  2. The lattice is copper blocks with iron bars mixed in on a diagonal pattern. The corners are always solid copper.
  3. Scaffolding makes the upper section much less scary. Remove it when you are done.
  4. Light the platforms so the tower glows at night.
