To create a map in Minecraft, players will need to craft a compass as well as paper, and combine the items to create an empty map.
A map is one of the most important items in Minecraft. Players are able to use maps for multiple things, from finding their way back home, to having an overhead view of their expansive base. Maps can also be put up against a wall as an art piece.
To create a map, players need to ensure that they have a crafting table and a furnace. The crafting table is needed to create the map’s components, while the furnace is needed to create parts for a compass that accompanies the map.
After creating a crafting station and a furnace, players need to gather resources. In order to create a map, players need nine sugar canes, four iron ores, one pile of Redstone and some fuel. When players obtain all the resources, they should use the furnace to smelt the iron ore by adding it to the top box in the furnace interface. It is important to remember to add fuel to the bottom box. The furnace will automatically begin running once the fuel is added.
When the smelting is complete, players can move the iron bars into their inventory. Next, the player should go to the crafting table to create a compass. In the crafting grid, place the Redstone pile in the centre, then place the iron bars in the bottom-middle, top-middle, right-middle, and left-middle squares. Once the iron bars are secure, a compass icon should appear.
After crafting the compass, players should move it into their inventory. The third step is to create nine pieces of paper. While the players are still in the crafting grid, they should place three sugar canes in the bottom-left square, three in the bottom-right and three in the bottom-middle square. When the paper is crafted, players should move it into their inventory.
Players can now place the compass in the centre of the crafting grid, then place one piece of paper in each of the remaining squares. Once all the materials are placed, the map icon will appear. Players can move the map into their inventory as soon as it is completed.
It is important to note that players should fill up the map. This can be done by equipping the map and traveling the world while holding it.
