This Minecraft tutorial explains how to use a map with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, you can use a map to help you navigate around in your world. Let's explore how to use a map.
Required Materials
This is an automatic trash can that will destroy unwanted items placed into it. However, it will wait until you hit a button to have the items destroyed, sim. So if you are using 1.6.2, you will want to mod.minecraft versions 1.6.2 1.6.2.jar. In case you are wondering why you don't have a bin file - it was only used in versions 1.5.2 and below. The new Minecraft launcher doesn't use or create a bin file - it will only be there if you played Minecraft.

Just like in real life, you don't want to get lost so you can create and use maps to find your way around in the game. When you start, it is a good idea to create a map where your shelter is located so that you can find your way back home. As you adventure out, you might want to create additional maps as you explore outside of your map area.
In Minecraft, these are the required materials to use a map:
Background
It is quite exciting to explore new areas in your Minecraft world. Just like in real life, you don't want to get lost so you can create and use maps to find your way around in the game.
When you start, it is a good idea to create a map where your shelter is located so that you can find your way back home. As you adventure out, you might want to create additional maps as you explore outside of your map area.
Steps to Use a Map
1. Hold the Empty Map
It is very easy to create your own map. First you will need to craft an empty map and select it in your hotbar.
2. Fill the Map
To fill in the map details of your current location, you wil need to use the empty map. The game control to use the empty map depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the Create Map button.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Education Edition, right click.
The Empty Map will be replaced with Map in your hotbar and will display a map of the area based on your current position in the game.
TIP: A map will not display the entire Minecraft world due its vastness. The map will only display a portion of the map based on your current location.
3. See where you are on the Map
You will have to move your line of sight downwards so that you can view the map directly.
On the map, you will see all major structures in the area such as buildings, fences, water, trees, and grass.
POCKET EDITION (PE) and WINDOWS 10:
For PE and Windows 10, make sure you craft an empty map using 8 paper and 1 compass.
Do not use the old recipe for a map that uses 9 paper and no compass. If you try the map without the compass in the recipe, your location will not appear on the map as a white dot.

You are the white dot on the map. And if you move while holding the map, you will see your white dot move across the map.
TIP: Once you have created a map, it is only good for a particular area in your world. If you move to an area that is outside of your current map, just craft another map for the new area. Then switch between the maps to navigate around your Minecraft world.
Congratulations, you just learned how to use a map in Minecraft.

Other Beginner Tutorials
Some time ago we build a huge map in Minecraft with the Xbox 360 version of the game. The Xbox 360 is a closed system and therefore in a few years we will not be able to use the map on any open system like a PC or Mac. My idea is to export and convert the map to use it with the PC version of Minecraft. This tutorial will explain each step of the procedure in detail.

Requirements
- Windows XP/7/8
- USB Stick
- Minecraft Java-Edition PC
- Install Horizon for Xbox 360 (chip.de)
- Install oPryzeLP Mod Tool (search google)
- Install MCEdit (download)
1. Export the Xbox360 savegame
Plug the usb stick into the Xbox 360 and format it. Go to settings > storage > all devices > games and apps and go to the Minecaft folder. Search for your map and copy it to the usb stick.
2. Extract the map from the Xbox 360 savegame
Start Horizon and go to Tools > Device Explorer and search in Games for „Minecraft“ in the windows on the right. Right click and choose Extract File. Save the .BIN file somewhere on yozr hard drive.
Now go to Tools > Package Manager and open the .BIN file. Click Extract and save the savegame.dat on you hard drive.
3. Convert the map into the PC format
Install Minecraft. Start oPryzeLP Mod Tool and open the savegame.dat. Go to the „World“ tab and hit „Overworld„. Hit „Yes“ and press the „Xbox to PC“ Button and choose a location on your hard drive.
The conversion takes a very long time. 10 minutes at least for a small map. The tool may appear to be freezed – just be patient and wait. After the procedure you will find a level.dat file and some folders containing the map.
4. Repair the map and rebuild lighting (optional)
Start MCEdit and use „open“ to import the level.dat file. Click MCEdit >World Info > Repair Regions. Go to „Chunk View“ and select the whole map. Click „Relight“, wait and save the map. This step is necessary to make sure it will work in Third-Party Tools. You can skip this if you want.

5. Import map into Minecraft PC or Mac
Now copy the folder with the map to these locations (hidden by default):
Mac: Library / Application Support / minecraft / saves
Win: C:Users [yourusernamehere] AppData Roaming.minecraft
Start Minecraft Ac in minecraft. , choose „Single Player“ and select the oPryzeLP map. Since Minecraft PC maps are endless and not limited in any direction it may be hard to find your map inside the big map at first. If you have problems finding your structures just reopen the map in MCEdit again and move the player location and spawn point. This works only after you loaded the map in Minecraft first.
Congratulation! Now you can show the map to your grandchildren. There are many tools out there to do crazy things with your Minecraft maps like the Minecraft Overviewer, a Google Maps plotter. Or you could host your Map on a Minecraft Server on a Raspberry Pi.
