Creating a locator map in a cartography table is a simple process that can be done in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Let me guide you through the steps involved in creating a locator map.
1. Gather the necessary materials: Before you begin, make sure you have the required materials. You will need a cartography table, paper, and a compass.
2. Crafting an empty map: To create a locator map, you first need to craft an empty map. Place a piece of paper in the cartography table’s left slot. This will consume the paper and create an empty map in the right slot.
3. Crafting a compass: Next, you need to craft a compass. To make a compass, you will need four iron ingots and one redstone dust. Arrange the materials in a crafting table or your inventory crafting grid to create a compass.
4. Adding a compass to the empty map: Once you have both the empty map and the compass, you can add the compass to the map. Place the empty map in the cartography table’s left slot and the compass in the right slot. The result will be a new map with the compass added, which is known as a locator map.
5. Exploring the map: After creating the locator map, you can start exploring the Minecraft world with it. Hold the locator map in your hand and right-click to open it. The map will start to fill in as you move around and explore new areas. The locator map will display your current location as a white marker and any explored areas as grayed-out terrain.
6. Expanding the map: If you want to expand the coverage of your locator map, you can do so by crafting it with more paper in the cartography table. Place the locator map and paper in the cartography table, and the result will be an extended map with a larger area coverage.
7. Using the locator map: The locator map can be a useful tool for navigation and orientation in the Minecraft world. It shows your position relative to the explored areas, allowing you to easily find your way back to specific locations.
Remember that the locator map will only update and display areas that you have explored while holding the map. If you want to see the entire world on a map, you will need to fully explore it while holding the locator map.
Creating a locator map in Minecraft Bedrock Edition is a great way to keep track of your adventures and navigate through the vast world. So grab your cartography table, paper, and compass, and start mapping your Minecraft journey!
