I'd like to build a dome roof on a building. There is a trick using command blocks and blocks "riding" minecarts to create a smooth sphere:
It'd like to use something like this to create a half-sphere for my roof.
The trick via command blocks and minecarts works but takes a lot of time. Is the only option to use command blocks, or is there a mod or filter to do something like this or to automate the minecart trick?

This can be achieved with Carpenter's Blocks. It's a mod that adds angled/sloped blocks to minecraft. You will need to use a lot of them to achieve your goal and the sphere will not be entirely spherical - but it will be a lot better than the Vanilla attempt. One warning: Carpenter's Blocks, when used in large numbers cause significant lag, so whether or not you use this method depends on your PC specs and the size of your roof.
1You could just run the filter and remove all minecarts with a y-rotation larger than 90°
