Upgrade the map to level 3.
How to expand map minecraft. Understand how expanding works. Minecraft can be considered one of the largest open world video games on the market. You can increase the size of the map up to four times doubling it each time allowing for a more comprehensive map of the world. This is the map that want to make bigger.
Add the level 1 map and 8 more paper to the 3x3 crafting grid. It is necessary that you take 8 pieces of paper of course this process can be done several times if you want to expand it much more than planned as this is an excellent option when you want to have much more spaces and areas where we can carry out explorations. When you open this map only a portion of the map will be filled in. A map has to have something already marked on it for the zooming to be possible.
That s why it s always smart to take a map with you. The first time you make a map it s a set size. A useful method of displaying the map set is to craft 10 item frames and place them on a wall in a 3 by 3 square with the tenth atop or beside the square. A handy new feature introduced in minecraft pocket edition s 0 14 update lets you create maps of your current location.
Place the nine maps in their appropriate positions in the 3 3 square. You can use this to help you know where you have and haven t explored to keep track of interesting locations and to display an atlas of your kingdom your castle wall. However while this is fun for exploration and adventure it s also dangerous as it s extremely easy to get lost in the many biomes. A blank map can not be zoomed out.
Place the zoom level 4 overview in the tenth item frame. Supplying 8 sheets of paper results in a zoomed out version of the input map. To upgrade your map to an even larger size you need to upgrade your map from level 1 to level 2. A cartography table can also be used to zoom out taking only one piece of paper per zoom level.
Next place a map in the top slot of the cartography table. If you are only planning to expand one map once this is a fine choice but if. The larger map will appear in the result box. If you choose to expand your map with the crafting bench you will have to surround your map with 8 pieces of paper.
Now place a paper in the second slot of the cartography table.
