A cartography table is a cartographer's job site block that generates in villages. It is used for cloning, zooming out and locking maps.

Natural generation[edit]

Cartography tables can generate naturally inside cartographer houses in villages.

Obtaining[edit]

A cartography table can be obtained with anything, including the player's hand. However, it's quicker when mined with an axe.

Crafting[edit]

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Paper + Any Planks

Usage[edit]

Cartography tables are used for cloning, expanding, locking (making them unable to be explored further), and zooming out maps. Cartography tables can also be used for adding pointers to maps, creating empty maps and renaming maps.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

Fuel[edit]

A cartography table can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Changing profession[edit]

If a village has a cartography table that has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby villager who hasn't chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to cartographer.
