Main article:Maps consist of square pixels arranged like pixels in a 128×128 square pattern, with each pixel representing a square portion of land. A map cannot be used in the End - the map appears, but the place marker is not shown anywhere - and similarly, an End map cannot be used in the or.A can make a large piece of pixel art facing upward, center a map on it, and place that map in an to create a custom picture.Maps display as a mini map when held in the off hand, or if the off-hand slot is occupied the map is full-sized only when held in the dominant hand with both hands free.In the, the map is not an item, and is instead always displayed on the Touch Screen.Map content.

The world is recorded as is during exploration, meaning that if the world is modified, a must revisit the area while holding the map to update the map's view. This way, no two maps of the same size can ever partially overlap and every map can display only a fixed area.To record the world on a map, that specific map must be held in the player's hands while the player moves around the world. To make a map that is not identical to the first one, the player would have to move outside of the edges of the first map (because then they would be in a new grid square). For example, if a player uses a new map in a certain grid square, and then moves a distance away and uses another fresh map but is still within the same grid square, both maps appear identical. The map does not center on the player when created, rather, the world is broken up into large invisible grid squares, and the map displays the area of whichever grid square it is in when it is first used.
