So, you’re lost in Minecraft and need to find your way back? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered on how to use a map in the game.

Quick Guide to Using a Map in Minecraft

First, you need to craft or find a map. Crafting a map requires paper, which you can make from sugar cane, and a compass, which needs iron and Redstone. Once you’ve got your map, it’s time to start exploring!

To use the map, just hold it in your hand. As you walk around, the map will fill in the details of the land around you. If you’re playing on PC, right-click to use it. On Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch, press the left trigger button, and on mobile, tap the screen. It’s that simple!
