Learn and apply the coding concept of coordinates. Articulate the difference between relative position and world position. Describe the difference between relative coordinates and absolute coordinates in real life. Explain the importance of coordinates in coding and while playing Minecraft.
For example, a map with zoom level 3/4 has a pixel size of 8×8 blocks; this means the map reads only the top-most opaque blocks at the 0,0 coordinate, the 8,0 coordinate, the 0,8 coordinate, etcetera, ignoring all other blocks in the area.

A level 3 map should be 1024 x 1024 blocks, so an 11 x 11 set would 11264 x 11264 blocks or 126877696 blocks/square meters. Fun fact: The moon only has a surface area of approx. 14 million square meters, so this map once completed is almost 10 times the area of the moon.

Cartography table
A map can also be created using a single paper on a cartography table to create an empty map, or a paper with a compass for an empty locator map.[Bedrock Edition only]
Starting map
When creating a new world in Bedrock Edition, the player can enable the "Starting Map" option to spawn with an empty locator map in the hotbar. The map's zoom scale is 1:8. The map is updated only while the player holds it.
Trading
Novice-level cartographer villagers sell a single empty map for 7 emeraldsas their trades. In Java Edition, cartographer villagers may give players with the Hero of the Villageeffect an empty map.
Mapping
Crafting a map creates an empty map. The map is drawn for the first time when it is held and used (with use item). This map can then be adjusted to different zoom levels. After conversion to a drawn map item, it starts to draw a top-down view of the player's surroundings, with North pointing to the top of the map. A pointed oval pointer indicates the player's position on the map, and moves in real-time as the player moves across the terrain shown on the map. The map does notcenter on the play...
Map content
Maps consist of square pixels arranged like pixels in a 128×128 square pattern, with each pixel representing a square portion of land. In Java Edition, the color of a map pixel generally matches the color of the most common opaqueblock in the corresponding area, as seen from the sky. 'Minority blocks' in the target area have no effect on the color of the pixel, thus small features tend to be undetectable on zoomed-out maps. In Bedrock Edition, the color of a map pixel instead matches the sing...
Player marker and pointer
In Java Edition, every map contains a marker that marks the position of the player, and points in the same direction as the player. When a player moves out of a map, a big white dot appears and moves relative to the player's position. The pointer either disappears when the player moves away a certain distance from the border of the map or, in case of explorer maps, the big white dot changes to a smaller white dot. The distance required for the small white dot to appear(explorer maps) or for t...

Map icons
Map icons are 8×8 in Java Edition, but 16×16 in Bedrock Edition. As such, there are minor misalignment issues in Java Edition. It should be noted that even if the player used a NBT editor to add an additional icon on the map, Minecraftshows only the first one listed when the player loads up their world.
