    So, what is the size of the killball? ...in respects to that one "block, large" is = 1 unit x 1 unit x 1 unit in size? (because that's how I draw it as) Another example would be that a "block, double" is = 1 unit x 1 unit x 2 units.

    When I ask what the "size" of the killball is, I mean... what is the radius or diameter of it?

    Does no one know?

    Here's a better question, why do you want to know?

    My guess is that it's probably like 2 double blocks across. Maybe two and a half. You know, you could just go to Forge and check yourself by lining up blocks near a kill ball.

    If I remember correctly 2 blocks in diameter.

    1 in Radius.

    I actually know this.

    A kill ball is 4 by 4 by 4 (using your calculations)

    Sadly those measurements don't work for spheres. Unless you're saying the killball is a cube, then that's brand new news to me!

    I'm guessing you're trying to say that it's 4 units in diameter or 2 units in radius.

    The kill ball is slightly longer than a double block, about 2 and 1/3 blocks in length. So...

    Diameter = 2 1/3

    Radius = 1 1/6

    Circumference = about 4 1/5

    2πr

    Circumferance = 7.288

    again why do you need to know this? And im pretty sure it is longer than 2 and 1/3 more like 2 and 1/2 but i could be wrong....i never use them

    I was just curious and I plan on using one in my next map and it'd be good to know the size of it before starting to plan (draw)

    to work out the volume you need to use this calculation:
    V= 4/3πr[sup]3[/sup] where r=the radius
