Last updated
Ever wondered how you can expand your map in Minecraft to see more of the world you’re building and exploring? You’re in the right spot. Let’s dive into expanding your Minecraft map!
So, you’ve started your Minecraft adventure, and now you’re curious about making your map bigger to uncover more of the game’s vast world. How do you do it?
Expanding Your Map 101
To make a bigger map in Minecraft, you need a couple of things first: a map (obviously!) and more paper. You create a map that records your immediate surroundings by combining a compass and eight pieces of paper at a crafting table. But that’s just the start; the real magic happens when you expand it.
Take your original map and surround it with more pieces of paper on the crafting table. This process increases the map’s coverage area. You can repeat this process several times to make the map even larger, giving you a bird’s-eye view of vast swaths of your Minecraft world. Remember, each expansion requires additional paper, so keep those sugarcane farms thriving!
