#Minimal Bounding Cuboid Volume

Only for things without Command Blocks!

The volume includes any air blocks, non-solid blocks, and blocks that are supporting redstone dust or other components.

This is the simplest and most natural way to score Minecraft submissions. It's a direct measure of space taken up, just like a byte count is the amount of memory taken up.

I don't have scoring method for builds that include Command Blocks, but I think this is the obvious choice when Command Blocks are not present (if we even allow such submissions...).

Perhaps for things with Command Blocks the cumulative byte count could be counted and reported alongside the block volume count (since it's kind of an apples and oranges thing). So the title of a Minecraft submission might look like #Minecraft - 20 blocks, 17 bytes.
