Map item in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Stack size: 64 In 3 tutorials ↓

A Map shows the land you have explored as seen from above, with your position marked on it. It helps you find your way, plan builds and, for explorer maps, reach hidden structures.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 8 × Paper and Map.

What it does

A map fills in as you walk around with it in your hand. At a Cartography Table, you can zoom it out with Paper to cover a larger area, copy it with an Empty Map, or lock it with a Glass Pane so that it never changes again.

Put maps in Item Frames to build a wall map of your world. Use a map on a placed banner to add a marker with the banner's color and name.

Cartographer villagers sell explorer maps that lead to an Ocean Monument, a Woodland Mansion or other structures, and buried treasure maps are found in shipwrecks and ocean ruins.
