Alright guys, I need some help. I'm working on a 41x41 pyramid. Not sure 100% what I'm doing. Now I get the concept, it's pretty obvious but it's not coming together. There's not a lot of pics on google so can't get any good ideas. I've only found 1 and its awesome....just need some help. Last time I tried this when I first started ol boy gets on my map and burns my house down. Not cool. So if you're down to help and have some pretty awesome ideas let me know. [email protected] send me some ideas.

pyramids are easy. lay out a square base then build each consecutive ring one in from the base. if you build it 41x41 you can put a 1x1 top on it. but personally i think th 2x2 tops look better. you could even build it so that it goes up 2 in 2 making it look as though it were built out of much larger stones. like the real pyramids.

I made a pyramid [on top of a spawn trap, WILL mess with the pyramid later], but what's the pattern for a 1x1 top? I kinda prefer pointy tops xD

as long as the sides are an odd number it will end in a 1x1 top cause its the lowest divisible number when dealing with odd blocks. basically when you cut a structure in half if its even you'll end up with two even sides. now it it has odd sides and divide it you'll end up with a remainder of 1. that's the single block on top.
