Say I want to mark a 30 blocks radius for spawn proofing, the I would need some kind of Indicator to show the 30 blocks radius,any suggestions?
I also want to point out that in Shulkercraft"s Witch farm,he somehow has a red circle Indicating the size of the spawn proofing to be done,I want a similar way,Link to his Video
and look at the spawn proofing part,Please reply Quickly.Best Answer
Minihud, as mentioned by Ginkgo is the most common approach, but if you want "vanilla", you can use "Pixel Circle Generator" on-line tool, and follow the generated edge.
Enter "width: 61" (it uses diameters, not radii) then follow - 30 extra blocks away from the central block (easiest to do: prepare a stack of 30 blocks in your hotbar and build a line until you run out) - then follow the picture - 5 blocks out to a side from the end of your radial line, 1 in and 4 to the side, 1 in, 3 to the side, 1 in, 2 side, 1 in, 1, 1 in, 2, and so on. Working in windowed mode (F11) or with the pattern on one monitor, game on another is the easiest way to do it.
Or much easier, (for purposes of spawn-proofing it doesn't hurt to spawn-proof too much) - mark out edges of a 61x61 square centered on the central block (again same trick, 4 stacks of 30 items), then spawn proof it taking good care to adhere to the borders near middles of the sides, while being completely sloppy around the corners.
Note:
Shulkercraft is a content mill channel which is mainly copying content off other creators with very little understanding of what they they do, and whatever they produce themselves has usually quite lackluster performance. This farm is no exception.
In particular, this location of the afk platform (directly above the center of the farm) will severely cut into the spawn rates. Lack of pack spawning extensions also heavily limits the rates, plus the flooding of the platforms as soon as even one witch spawns is another severe factor making it one of the worst designs out there. If you want a relatively easy design, pick Xisuma's, LogicalGeekBoy's or maybe Ray's. If you're more ambitious, Ilmango has excellent rates. Witch farms have poor efficiency as they are, and so using Shulkercraft design which is a good 30-50% worse than the next competitors and far behind the leaders - is hardly worth the effort.

How do you spawn a radius in Minecraft?
Enter the command /gamerule spawnRadius <value> (ensuring to keep the upper case letters). This'll set how many blocks away from the world's spawn point where a player gets randomly spawned when joining or after dying. A spawn radius of 1 will ensure all players spawn at the same place each time.What blocks are spawn proof?
In Minecraft, there are many blocks on top of which mobs cannot spawn, like slabs, carpets, glasses, leaves and redstone components. Players can use cheap items like slabs, buttons and carpets to spawn-proof areas around their farms.How do you spawn proof quickly?
Mobs cannot spawn on blocks that are less than a full block in height. Areas covered in bottom half slabs are unable to spawn mobs, no matter the light level, although double slabs, top half slabs and upside down stairs are still spawnable.Testing Radius from Mobs/Entities in Minecraft 1.8 (14w07a)

Answer 2
You can use a mod such as MiniHud, which can overlay spheres/cylinders/circles with a specified radius into your Minecraft world.
