How to make a map in Minecraft

For a digital world Minecraft can be a big place. Use the & # 39; infinite & # 39; world type and virtual terrain extends forever in every direction. Locator maps help orient you, especially for younger players who tend to deviate from the Minecraft pack. We'll show you how to make a map in Minecraft so everyone can find their way home.

If you made an empire with the & # 39; flat & # 39; type, you don't need a card. They are only 256 x 256 blocks, which means you probably never stray too far from home or fall off the edge. Maps are best suited for infinite terrain, with five specific sizes you can create to follow anywhere from small to insanely long distances.

Determine your map

Minecraft offers two map types. For this guide, we assume you want the location map as it tracks the position of every player in the realm, not just you.

The basemap (or map only) is also a real map of your realm, but it does not include location tracking. This version is probably better suited to hang on the wall for decoration.

In either case, the map you create doesn't immediately reflect every mountain, river, and desert. Instead, it works the same way as RPG & # 39; s hiding undiscovered area, slowly pulling back the cloudy veil as you venture out. Ultimately, your travels will reveal the entire realm.

A card begins to reveal your realm as soon as it is opened ̵

1; ground zero. This point remains in the center of your map, be it your spawn point, bed or craft table.

What You Need

Both the base map and the locator map require specific tools and ingredients. We list them below along with screenshots in case you are new to Minecraft .

A craft table (left) and an oven (right)

Four iron ore blocks and a pile of redstone dust

 Minecraft iron ore and Redstone ore

To get the redstone dust you need a block of redstone ore (right) which deep underground in the bottom 16 layers of the empire. Once you obtain redstone ore, toss it in an oven with some fuel and create redstone dust. Iron ore blocks (left) are located just above sea level.

Nine Sugar Cane

 Minecraft Sugar Canes

These are used to make the paper. As shown above, they grow near water.

Fuel to Burn in the Furnace

 Minecraft Stripped Oak Wood

You can use one block of charcoal, one block of coal or four blocks of wood – whatever is burning. Coal is derived from coal ore, which you can find underground (or in caves) almost anywhere and break with a pickaxe. Combine wood and coal in an oven to make charcoal. However, using wood as a fuel is probably the least labor-intensive option for this guide.

Now that everything has been collected, you can now continue creating your map.

Create Your Map

The following instructions will display a blank location map, which will eventually display your current location. If you just need a map without geolocation, you can bypass the compass creation instructions and start at step 6.

Step 1: Open the furnace and add the iron ore (top square) and fuel (bottom square). In our example below, we use charcoal as fuel.

Step 2: The furnace automatically makes iron bars until you run out of iron ore or fuel, or you leave the furnace. To complete, drag the iron bars into your inventory.

  Minecraft Create Iron Bars

Step 3: Open the Crafting Table and add four iron bars and . a pile of redstone dust . The Crafting Table automatically creates a compass.

  Minecraft Create Compass

Step 4: Drag the compass down into your inventory.

Step 5: With the Crafting Table still open, drag three stacks of three sugar cane into the bottom squares, as shown below. Each sugarcane stack creates three sheets of paper, meaning you drag paper stacks into your inventory three times.

  Minecraft Create sheets of paper

Step 6: With the Crafting Table still open, select the compass in your inventory and drag it to the middle square. Fill all other squares with one sheet of paper each as shown below (eight in total).

If you do not make a location map, swap the compass for a ninth sheet of paper, which fills all nine squares. These non-locator maps come in handy when cloning filled maps later.

  Minecraft Create Blank Locator Map

Step 7: To complete, drag the new Blank Locator Map to your inventory or Hotbar. [19659003] Fill your map

  Minecraft Fill your map

Now that you have a map, your next step is to fill it! Again, this works the same way as RPG's hiding undiscovered area, slowly pulling back the cloudy veil as you venture out.

Step 1: Open your inventory and drag the empty Locator map you just created to the Hotbar

Step 2: Select the map and do the following to visualize it:

  • Console: Press the left trigger
  • PC: Press the right click on the mouse
  • Mobile: Tap and hold on it screen

Step 3: Travel through your Minecraft empire to fill the map.

If the map shows the area, you will notice that it has a limit: your player indicator will stop along the edge if you move outside the boundaries of the map. In its current state, it captures an area of ​​128 x 128 blocks based on the area where it first opened – half that of the "flat" world type.

In our example shown above, the base map laid only a few fixed city blocks on our "infinite" Minecraft realm. For greater coverage, we need to zoom out, which requires a trip back to the Crafting Table.

Enlarge your map

You can enlarge the map four times. These are the actual formats:

  • Zoom 3 – 1024 x 1024 (level 3/4)
  • zoom 4 – 2048 x 2048 (level 4/4)

Having said that, you cannot make any map of an infinite Minecraft world. If anything, you can create additional Level 4/4 maps if you want to track large areas outside of your original Level 4/4 map. Level 4/4 cards, however, are huge. You will find that Level 1/4 maps are easier to read and a better option to map out the local terrain.


Step 1: Open the craft table and place your current card in the middle square while filling the remaining eight squares with paper. If you need to make more paper, go back to the previous instructions for using sugar cane.

Step 2: Drag your new extended map (256 x 256 or level 1/4) to your inventory

  Minecraft Expand Map

Step 3: even larger map, drag your newly enlarged map back to the Crafting Table and fill the remaining squares with paper. This will create a 512 x 512 card (level 2/4).

Step 4: Drag the new, expanded map to your directory.

Step 5: Repeat the process for the 1024 x 1024 (level 3/4) map, or twice for the 2048 x 2048 (level 4/4) version.

With an enlarged map, the map is reset and the area starts recording again from where it was first opened. While that's great for you, what about all the other players who have access to your empire, especially younger players?

Clone it!

Copy your map

  Minecraft Level 4 of 4 Map
This is the biggest map you can make!

Gamers with children already know the fear of having to send a virtual search party. They stray too far to the point where you move from screen to screen to determine their exact location. With a locator map you can see the location of all players in the realm, not just you.

The idea of ​​card cloning is to give all players a copy of your card so that they can safely return to the point where you first opened the original – also known as ground zero. Copied cards are a good must-have for younger players who like to digress, especially in infinite realms.

To copy a map, you need a cartography table and a empty map .

  Minecraft Mapping Chart

Before you begin, make sure your current map is complete before making a copy. If you have version 4/4 this may take a while.

Step 1: Open the cartography table and add your finished map in the top square along with a blank card in the bottom square

Step 2: Enter your copied map a name (optional). Keep in mind that this process renames both cards.

  Minecraft Copy Map

Step 3: Drag the two maps to your inventory.

Step 4: Repeat the previous three steps for additional copies.
