Empty Map - Items

Description:

The Map is an item used to view explored terrain. While held in the player's hand, a map will gradually draw itself as the player explores the world. When the item is later selected, the player can see the area explored so far. In the Xbox 360 and PS3 Edition, The Player spawns with a map in their inventory upon creating a new world. Each map is 128×128 total pixels. Depending on the scale of the map, a single pixel can represent many scales of areas, starting with an initial ratio of 1 pixel:1 block. Increasing the scale of the map can be achieved by crafting a wider map by surrounding an existing map with Paper on a Crafting Table. Since Infdev, Minecraft worlds have essentially unlimited area to explore. One map could not possibly cover an entire world. However, as the Xbox 360 and PS3 Editions only generate worlds covering 862 by 862 blocks, one map displays the entirety of the world. Different maps are aligned to a grid, making arrays of maps much easier to accomplish.
