Are you a passionate writer? The zooming function starts from when the map is created (zoom level 0) up to its fourth zoom step (zoom level 4). The problem is that the above code produces this warning: If you're using Minecraft on mobile, you'll need an anvil for this step instead. if (fileParameters == null) fileParameters = (HashMap<String, String>) Collections.EMPTY_MAP; Syntax: public static final Set emptySet () From the Javadoc: This map behaves and performs comparably to Collections.emptyMap(), Place 9 fully explored, adjacent map items into 9 item frames in a 3 by 3 square. Another thing to do would be adding an anvil with a name tag; this way, you can find the exact map you need. You'll have to use the latter sometimes when the compiler cannot automatically figure out what kind of Map is needed (this is called type inference). Maps crafted with only paper do not show the location marker; to add it, a compass must be added to the map. It is worth noting that the markers work only on copies of the same map. For example, to add items to it, use the put () method: Example 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].
