How to Get a Map in Minecraft: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to navigate the vast world of Minecraft with ease? Well, getting a map is your answer!
Let’s dive straight into finding out how you can get a map in the pixelated universe of Minecraft.
Short Answer: Crafting and Exploring
To get a map in Minecraft, you have two main options: craft one using paper and a compass or find one in a chest during your adventures.
Crafting a map takes eight pieces of paper and a compass. You can make paper from sugar cane, and for the compass, you’ll need four iron ingots and one Redstone dust. Once you have your materials, just put them together in the crafting area, and voila, you’ve got yourself a map!
Finding Maps in the Wild
Aside from crafting, you can also stumble upon maps while exploring. Keep an eye out for chests in dungeons, temples, and shipwrecks! Who knows, you might just find a map along with other valuable treasures.
Each map you find or craft starts out blank and fills in as you explore the world. So, not only do you get a tool to help with navigation, but you also get the thrill of watching your world come to life on paper!
