How to build Pickle Rick in Minecraft

Funniest thing you ever saw. A two-storey pickle with a manic grin and a unibrow, standing on a cutting board next to a jar of his less ambitious relatives.

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. The pickle is a hollow ellipsoid. Build each layer as an oval ring and the shape takes care of itself.
  2. Scatter the darker green bumps at random. Real pickles are not tidy.
  3. Put the face on last, pressing each block into the front of the curve.
