Minecraft can be considered one of the greatest open-world video games out there. Since it's procedurally generated, there's almost no limit to what players can explore in a single world. However, while it's fun for exploration and adventure, it's also dangerous, as it's extremely easy to get lost in the many biomes. That's why it's always a good idea to carry a map with you. That's why we'll show you how to create Minecraft.
Craft the materials needed for a map
Creating a map in Minecraft is quite simple. All you need are two ingredients, paper and a compass. Although these two are not just found in the world by themselves. You must craft them before you can start on your map.
To start with, paper is the most important ingredient, as you will need eight of them to create a card. To make paper, you need to find nine cane stalks, which can be located directly next to most bodies of water. Look for rivers specifically if you want to find large amounts of them.
Once you have nine candy cane stalks, simply place three in a crafting table and you'll receive three sheets of paper. Repeat this process two more times and you will have your required eight sheets of paper.
Next, we need a compass, which is a bit more expensive to make. First, you'll need four iron ingots, which can be smelted using iron ore and a furnace. Once you have some, it's time to gather a piece of redstone dust. Going to a cave while exploring level five should net you some redstone blocks fairly quickly. If you managed to acquire these materials, stick them in a crafting table and you have your compass.
Now is the time for the card itself. Using your eight sheets of paper and a compass, arrange them in a crafting table like the example below. If you did it correctly, you will receive a card!
Of course, if you open your map for the first time, it will be empty. You will have to travel the world to fill the map with the landscape and the different biomes.
