====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
Helmets can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[armor material]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down.

===Mob loot===

If a [[zombie]], [[husk]], [[stray]] or [[skeleton]] is wearing armor, there is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop a helmet upon death. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be [[enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[vindicator]]s and [[pillager]]s spawned in [[raid]]s have a 8.3525% chance (10.28% on hard) to drop [[iron]] helmets. The dropped helmets are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being [[enchanted]] with a random [[enchantment]].

===Natural generation===
Two [[armor stand]]s are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one of them equipped with an [[iron helmet]].

===Chest loot===
{{IN|BE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest sometimes containing an [[Efficiency]] I leather cap.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-109048}}</ref>
{{LootChestItem|leather-cap,random-enchanted-leather-cap,chainmail-helmet,iron-helmet,level-enchanted-iron-helmet,golden-helmet,random-enchanted-golden-helmet,diamond-helmet,damaged-diamond-helmet,level-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet-2}}

===Trading===

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance to sell an iron helmet for 4 emeralds. Journeyman-level armorers have a 40% chance to sell a chainmail helmet for 1 emerald. Master-level armorers always sell an enchanted diamond helmet for 11-27 emeralds. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell a leather cap<ref group="note" name="dye note">The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)</ref> for 5 emeralds. Master-level leatherworker villagers offer the same trade.

Armorer villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect a chainmail helmet.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 25% chance to sell iron helmet for 5 emeralds, {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell chainmail helmet at journeyman-level for an emerald, and 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond helmet for 8 emeralds at master-level. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a 50% chance to sell leather cap for 5 emeralds as part of their trades, and 50% chance to sell an enchanted leather cap for 5 emeralds at the master level.

{{notelist|columns=1}}

==Usage ==

Helmets can be placed in the top armor slot of a player's [[inventory]] for activation.

===Defense points===

Defense points are each signified by half of a shirt of mail in the armor bar above the health bar. Each defense point reduces any damage dealt to the player that is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.

The following table shows the number of defense points added by helmets.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet defense points"
|-
! scope="col" |Material
! scope="col" |
|-
! scope="row" |Leather
|{{armor|1}}
|-
! scope="row" |Golden

! scope="row" |Iron
|-
! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
| rowspan="2" |{{armor|3}}
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|}

===Knockback resistance===
A netherite helmet provides 10% knockback resistance.

===Durability===

The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.

Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor removes one point of durability from each piece of armor worn for every {{hp|4}} of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Damage taken that armor doesn't protect (such as [[Damage#Fall damage|falling]] or [[Damage#Drowning|drowning]]) does not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits helmets can endure.

Netherite armor is not damaged by [[lava]] or [[fire]] when worn.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet durability"

! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|275
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
|363
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|407
|}

====Repair====

Helmets may be [[item repair|repaired]] by using them along with some of their crafting material (leather, gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds or netherite) in an [[anvil]]. Chainmail helmets may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another helmet of like material.

===Enchantments===
A helmet can receive the following [[enchantment]]s. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher [[Tutorials/Enchanting mechanics#Enchantability|enchantability]] than iron or diamond.

===Turtle shell effect===

Equipping a {{ItemSprite|Turtle Shell}} turtle shell provides the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} status effect, allowing the player to remain underwater for an additional 10 seconds. The time that this effect lasts does not begin to count down until the player dives underwater, then the 10 seconds are counted down. The effect immediately recharges after exposure to air.

===Brewing ingredient===
A turtle shell can also be used as a potion brewing ingredient.

===Smelting usage===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Helmet;Chainmail Helmet;Golden Helmet|Iron Nugget;Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to ''golden'' helmets and pick them up, examining them for 6 to 8 seconds. Piglins can wear other helmets but are not attracted to them. They prefer stronger helmets over weaker helmets, with one exception: They always prefer golden helmets, throwing out stronger helmets in favor of gold helmets. Enchanted helmets are preferred over unenchanted helmets.

==Trivia ==
*Unlike the other helmets, the netherite helmet covers most of the player's face, due to a nose guard and cheek plates.
*The turtle shell is the only helmet that is not part of a complete set.
* In Bedrock Edition, there exists a bug<ref>{{Cite bug|MCPE|109048|Efficiency 1 Leather Cap in Woodland Mansions|date=December 1, 2020}}</ref> that makes it possible to obtain a Leather Cap enchanted with Efficiency I from [[Woodland Mansion]] chests with a chance of 1.45%. The enchantment has no effect on the cap, however.

A '''minecart''' is a train-like vehicle [[entity]] that runs on [[Rail (disambiguation)|rail]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Minecarts can be retrieved by {{control|attack|text=attacking}} them for some time. Minecarts can also be retrieved with one attack from a [[pickaxe]] provided the player's attack cooldown is reset. A minecart is also destroyed if it makes contact with a [[cactus]], or if shot with a [[bow]] and arrow.

=== Crafting ===

|A2= Iron Ingot
|C2= Iron Ingot
|A3= Iron Ingot
|B3= Iron Ingot
|C3= Iron Ingot
|Output= Minecart
|type= Transportation
}}

=== Entity loot ===
[[Minecart with command block]]s can be given to the player with the {{cmd|/give}} command or through the creative inventory under certain conditions{{only|java}}; [[minecart with spawner]]s{{only|java}} are available only via the {{cmd|/summon}} command. Each drop 1 minecart when broken.

== Usage ==
[[File:RideableMinecart.png|thumb|right|A rideable minecart on rails surrounded by wood slabs]]

A minecart can be placed in the same manner as most blocks but can be placed only on top of a [[rail]]. Once placed, it may be derailed by pushing it off the end of the track. After this, it can be railed again by placing a rail directly below it or pushing it onto a track.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Transportation ===
[[File:Steve Riding a Minecart.png|thumb|right|upright|[[Steve]] riding a minecart]]
{{see also|Transportation|Riding}}

Minecarts can be ridden by {{control|use|text=pressing the "use" control}} on them. Once inside, an external impulse may be needed to make the minecart start moving. The player can slowly move the minecart forward while riding it, by pressing {{control|forward}}. If a mob walks in front of an empty minecart, it is pulled into the cart.

After rolling off of the end of a track, a minecart can be pushed around on open blocks. If a minecart is pushed onto or falls onto tracks, it "snaps" to those tracks. When riding a minecart, if the minecart lands on a rail, the player does not take any fall damage. <!--Minecarts and arrows don't interact anymore.-->

Unlike with [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied minecart.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|161251|Attempting to enter an occupied bed displays a message over the hotbar, but attempting to enter an occupied vehicle does not|date=September 18, 19|resolution=Works as Intended}}</ref>

=== Dismounting ===
Players can exit the minecart by pressing {{control|sneak}}. When a player or mob dismounts a minecart, either by choice, by breaking the minecart, or by passing over an [[activator rail]], the minecart tries to find a safe ejection destination one block away. First it checks the eight horizontally adjacent blocks in the following order of priority relative to direction of travel: right, left, rear right, rear left, front right, front left, rear, front. A valid destination has a block underneath with a solid (not necessarily full) top surface and a space with enough headroom and width for the passenger to fit in when standing at the center. The space can even contain liquid or have open trapdoors if the mob is slim enough, and presence of other mobs doesn't matter. If no valid destination exists on same horizontal level, the minecart then checks the blocks one above, then one below. For a player, the minecart also checks for crawlable destinations. If still none, the minecart chooses its own location. Once the minecart picks a destination, it actually ejects the passenger one block up in the air and the passenger settles down on its own. Under a low ceiling this may cause one tick of suffocation damage. The air drop exists to allow passengers to land on carpet or bottom slabs.

== Behavior ==

=== Speed ===

Minecarts have a predefined speed limit of exactly 8 blocks per second. However, this speed limit does not change the minecart's speed value but instead limits how far a minecart can travel each tick to 0.4 blocks. Therefore, a minecart moving from powered rail to normal rail will move at constant speed for some time until decelerating because its internal speed value is over its speed limit of 8.

[[Powered rail]]s powered by redstone give minecarts a boost of speed. Speed is gradually decreased (due to drag) if there are no powered rails to assist its movement, and an unpowered powered rail slows down a minecart rapidly. The speed decreases at a faster rate when going uphill, compared to when moving horizontally. A minecart does not need powered rails to assist its movement down a hill.
<!-- Is this comparison to real-life physics necessary? - One unit of kinetic energy could be defined as the energy gained by a cart going down a one-block slope and lost by a cart when it goes up a one-block slope. If a 45-degree downward slope is connected directly into an upward slope, an initial height of 60 blocks results in a final height of 40 blocks, a loss of 20 units of potential energy. But if 20 sections of flat track are inserted between the slopes, the final height is 35. This implies that one unit of energy is lost for every 4 sections of horizontal track traveled with an initial stored energy of between 60 and 40. At much lower speeds, much less energy is lost, implying that the energy lost is a percentage of the cart's current energy. The above gives about 0.5% energy loss per section of track. One implication of this is that more energy lost when the cart has more energy, so a gradual slope should allow you to travel much farther distances than a steep slope followed by a long flat section. (This is different from real-life physics, where friction does not increase with velocity. However, it may be an attempt to mirror air resistance, which ''does'' increase with velocity.) -->

Anything in the way of the minecart brings it to a stop. Once a minecart has left the track, it rapidly decelerates within one or two blocks. When mobs touch a minecart, they affect it in the same way a player would, i.e. mobs that move up against a still cart set it in motion.

If a minecart is moving fast enough, it can skip across one block without a track and reattach to track on the other side, at significantly reduced energy and speed. A minecart's hitbox can skip turns if the minecart is boosted using enough powered rails.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|179971|Minecart skips turns if too fast|date=April 22, 2020}}</ref>

The speed and momentum of a minecart can differ depending on whether or not it is empty, and in the case where a minecart has a container, the speed can differ depending on the quantity and type of items inside.

=== Merged minecarts ===

{{IN|java}}, two or more minecarts can be merged by pushing them into each other so that they overlap. Merged minecarts move as a collective, like a train, and can be useful for long-distance transport because while moving in a straight line, they ''do not need powered rails to keep their speed''.

To summarize:
* Minecarts can also be merged by ''dropping'' a minecart on another minecart.
* Merged minecarts do not lose speed while traveling on straight rails
* ''Corners'' in the rails might cause merged minecarts to unmerge.
* Minecarts with ''chest'' (even fully filled) can also be merged and also do ''not'' require powered rails.

=== Distance traveled by empty carts starting on a downward slope ===

This table shows the distance traveled by an unoccupied minecart on a downward slope, with a boost (or no boost). The most efficient way is to use only 1 boost at the bottom of the incline on the flat surface. Using 2 increases distance by about 20% or 1.5 blocks. All distance trends based on the height seem to be logarithmic.
The carts started from rest, on a slope Height blocks up.

=== Collision ===

Minecarts are about the same size as a block (1×1). Because of this, a ladder, door, or trapdoor prevents it from falling down a 1×1 hole. Carts on [[rail]]s also ignore collision in certain situations. A cart traveling uphill, downhill, or on a curve with a block placed in front of it, goes through the block.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8004|Minecarts glitch through the stop block of a track that ends with a turn or a downward slope|date=January 20, 2013}}</ref>

A minecart that reaches the end of a rail up against an opaque solid block bounces back, but if the block is transparent then it stops. The minecart can even bounce against an opaque block from a standstill if the rail underneath is powered. A player or mob riding in a minecart does not collide with or suffocate in any transparent blocks but suffocates inside opaque blocks.

Minecarts are completely unaffected by [[ice]], [[packed ice]], and [[blue ice]]<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8265|Minecarts don't slide on any sort of ice|date=January 25, 2013}}</ref>; they can also be destroyed by coming in contact with [[lava]] or [[fire]].

=== Mobs ===
{{missing information|section|some other mobs that cannot be picked up by minecarts}}
[[File:Minecart shake.gif|thumb|right|Minecart shaking due to being on top of an activator rail.]]
Mobs can ride minecarts, but cannot control them. Mobs cannot exit the minecart unless the minecart is destroyed or moves onto an active [[activator rail]].<ref>{{bug|MC-3866||Endermen, Tamed Wolves and Ocelots cannot teleport when in a Minecart|WAI}}</ref> However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of minecarts.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-31761||Endermen can still teleport out of the boats and minecarts}}</ref>

A mob can ride a minecart when pushing by a moving minecart on rails {{in|java}} or when colliding with a minecart {{in|bedrock}}. It is easier to pick up a mob when a minecart is turning. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[armor stand]]s can also be picked up.

Most mobs can be picked up by minecarts, except [[ender dragon]]s, [[warden]]s, and [[wither]]s. {{IN|java}}, [[iron golem]]s cannot be picked up either.

A [[jockey]] riding a minecart automatically accelerates the minecart.<ref>{{bug|MC-71998||Minecarts that have passengers within them riding mobs can move automatically when not on rails}}</ref> Mobs in minecarts don't despawn, and don't count towards the mob cap.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-182897||Some passenger mobs don't count to the mob cap|WAI}}</ref>

=== Boats ===
{{exclusive|java|section=yes}}
{{UsesBug|section=yes}}
Due to the bug {{bug|MC-113871}}, [[boat]]s can be captured by minecarts. When a boat is placed in a minecart, the minecart travels faster on rails, approximately as fast as on powered rails. The movement in the boat minecart is glitchy and moving forward with the W key moves the cart backward relative to the player, and vice versa for moving backward with the S key. The minecart also moves on the rail-less ground at a crawling speed, but it does not float in the water despite being in a boat. 

Using this glitch can be far more resource-efficient since the boat minecart can move at the speed of a powered rail track on flat ground and on slopes. Another physics glitch with the boat minecart is the extreme reduction in friction when the minecart is on rails, which is similar to the lack of friction when a boat is riding on ice. This glitch can be done in Survival without cheats simply by pushing a minecart into a boat on the track. This bug is now patched.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Minecarts appear to float above the track, as their model has no wheels.
* If the player views their inventory while riding in a minecart, they appear sitting down in mid-air.
* The player can teleport to another minecart while sitting in a minecart by right-clicking a minecart in their range. This can be used as an elevator to quickly rise up when minecarts are placed on top of each other.
* If the sound is muted in the options while riding a minecart, and then turned back up, the minecart no longer makes noise in the client until the player exits the minecart.
* If a saddled pig is riding a minecart, the player can ride the pig. Doing so causes the minecart to be able to ride freely at the player's walking speed. It is unknown whether this is a glitch.
* It seems that hunger does not deplete while inactive in a minecart (at least in normal difficulty).
* A minecart (alongside rails and powered rails) are used as Steve's Side-Special in the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

=== 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.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Starting map ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
When creating a new world {{in|bedrock}}, 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 [[Villager|villagers]] sell a single empty map for 7 [[Emerald|emeralds]] as their trades.

{{IN|java}}, cartographer villagers may give players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect an empty map.

== Usage ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Mapping}}

=== Mapping ===

Crafting a map creates an empty map. The map is drawn for the first time when it is held and used (with ''{{control|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 ''not'' center on the player when created, rather, the world is broken up into large invisible grid squares, and the map displays the area of whichever grid square it is in when it is first used. For example, if a player uses a new map in a certain grid square, and then moves a distance away and uses another fresh map but is still within the same grid square, both maps appear identical. To make a map that is not identical to the first one, the player would have to move outside of the edges of the first map (because then they would be in a new grid square). This way, no two maps of the same size can ever partially overlap and every map can display only a fixed area.

To record the world on a map, that specific map must be held in the player's hands while the player moves around the world. The world is recorded as-is during exploration, meaning that if the world is modified, a player must revisit the area while holding the map to update the map's view. Maps can also be [[Map#Cloning|cloned]]. If a player holds a map whose one or more clones are on display in item frames, updates are made on all clone-connected maps. 

Other players are displayed on the map only if they have a map in their inventory cloned from the one being looked at. When placing a map into an [[item frame]], the map displays with a green pointer shown at the location of the item frame. This is to help the player see where they are in relation to the area that the map is showing. If the player leaves a map in an item frame and views a clone of it, the green pointer remains in the spot of the framed copy. This can be used to set up waypoints. Unexplored areas are transparent, making the item frame visible.

When the player leaves the area shown on a specific map, the player pointer transforms into a white dot that moves on that map. The marker shrinks to a smaller white dot if the player is far from the map's center: the area is 320 by 320 blocks per scale factor. The dot moves along the edge of the map to show the relative location of the player. However {{in|bedrock}}, the pointer remains as an arrow but shrinks until the player is near the area shown on the map.

While maps in [[the Nether]] work, they show only the red-and-gray pattern, regardless of the blocks placed. The only useful function is finding where the player is in relation to placed framed maps, which show as green pointers.  Additionally, the player pointer rapidly spins and is not a good indicator of direction. Placing a [[banner]] in [[the Nether]] still shows it on the map as usual.  Having a smaller map image while riding a [[strider]] in the Nether can help one to see one's footing while traveling over [[lava]].

{{IN|java}}, when using a map from another dimension, the map shows the player's position and direction when they were last in the dimension of the map. {{IN|bedrock}}, however, the player can use maps from one dimension while in another dimension. For locator maps, the place marker changes color depending on the dimension that the player is currently in (white for the Overworld, red for [[the Nether]], and magenta for [[the End]]). An Overworld map in the Nether shows the player's corresponding location and direction in the Overworld.<ref name=multiverse>{{ytl|EpP1diZdEdI}}</ref> Similarly, a Nether Map in the Overworld shows the player's corresponding location in the Overworld, but the place marker spins, just like a Nether map in the Nether. An Overworld map in the End shows the world spawn.<ref name=multiverse/> A Nether map cannot be used in the End — the map appears, but the place marker is not shown anywhere — and similarly, an End map cannot be used in the Overworld or the Nether.

A player can make a large piece of pixel art (128×128) facing upward, center a map on it, and place that map in an [[item frame]] to create a custom picture. Locking is recommended. See [[Map item format#Map Pixel Art]] for details on the techniques.

Maps display as a mini-map when held in the off-hand, or if the off-hand slot is occupied; the map is full-sized only when held in the dominant hand with both hands free.

A map always positions itself facing towards North when placed horizontally within an item frame regardless of how the map is placed.

=== Map content ===
{{Main|Map item format}}

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}}, the [[Map item format#Color table|color of a map pixel]] generally matches the color of the most common [[opaque]] block 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}}, the [[Map item format#Color table|color of a map pixel]] instead matches the single top-most opaque block in a grid sized by the map magnification pixel size (see the table in the "Player marker and pointer" section below). For example, a 3/4 magnification map has a pixel size of 8x8 blocks; this means the map will read 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. This means that {{in|bedrock}}, map pixel art requires only one block per pixel regardless of map magnification.

{{IN|bedrock}}, grass, foliage and water colors that are biome-dependent are represented accurately on a map.

Maps also show ground up to about 15 blocks below the surface of the water in oceans as slightly lighter blue, to show where the ground rises. This is not true with land above water. Higher elevations in the world mean lighter colors on the map. The map records the surface even as the player moves below the surface.

A standard map represents 128x128 blocks (1 block per pixel, 8x8 [[chunks]]) but maps can be zoomed-out to represent up to 2048x2048 blocks (16 square blocks per pixel, 128x128 [[chunks]]).

Some relevant distances: 64 blocks (4 chunks) is the update radius from a player in the Overworld and the End. However, it is half this (32 blocks) in the Nether. Also, 1024 blocks is the minimum Overworld distance from a [[nether portal]], at which players can build another portal and expect to reach a new location in the Nether. This is the distance across a 1:8 map, and also from a 1:16 map's center to its edge.

=== Player marker and pointer ===
{{IN|java}}, 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 map]]s, the big white dot changes to a smaller white dot. The distance required for the small white dot to appear(explorer maps) or for the big dot to vanish (normal maps) changes with the scaling of the map.
* '''Level 0/4 :''' 128×128 blocks (each map pixel represents 1 block)
* '''Level 1/4 :''' 256×256 blocks (2×2 blocks per map pixel)
* '''Level 2/4 :''' 512×512 blocks (4×4 blocks per map pixel)
* '''Level 3/4 :''' 1024×1024 blocks (8×8 blocks per map pixel)
* '''Level 4/4 :'''  2048×2048 blocks  (16×16 blocks per map pixel)
{{IN|bedrock}}, a map can be crafted with or without this marker, and a map without a position marker can add one later by adding a compass to the map.  When a map is crafted without a compass, it's simply called an "empty map", but when crafted with a compass, it's called an "empty locator map". The marker also turns red if the player enters the Nether with an Overworld map and shows the player's Overworld location relative to the Nether location. A map created in the End has a purple marker showing the player's location. If an Overworld map is used in the End, a magenta dot appears on the player's spawn point.{{/BE|position}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, a cartography table can also be used to add a pointer to create a locator map or empty locator map. This can be done by adding a compass to paper, or to an empty map or map.

=== Zooming out ===
[[File:Cartography table UI zoom.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being zoomed out.]]

A [[cartography table]] can also be used to zoom out, taking only one piece of paper per zoom level.

A blank map can not be zoomed out. A map has to have something already marked on it for the zooming to be possible.

Maps are always aligned to a grid at all zoom levels. That means zooming out any different map in a specific area covered by that map always has the same center. As such, maps are aligned by map width (1024 blocks for a level 3 maps) minus 64. A level 3 map generated at spawn covers X and Z coordinates from -64 to 959. All maps generated in this area zoom out to the same coordinates, guaranteeing that they are always 'aligned' on a map wall. For a zoomed-out map to cover a new area, it must start with a base (level 0) map that is in that area.

At zoom level 0, a map created on the point (0,0) has (0,0) at the center of the map. At higher zoom levels of the same map, the coordinate (0,0) is in the top left square of the map.

{{IN|java}}, zoom level can be seen on a map by turning on Advanced Tooltips (a [[Debug screen#More debug keys|debug screen]] option that can be toggled by using the key combination {{key|F3+H}}). The tooltip of the map then shows the zoom level, scaling factors, and map ID.

=== Cloning ===
[[File:Cartography table UI clone.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|Java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being cloned.]]

A mix of empty maps and empty locator maps may be used. Whether the cloned maps show position markers is dependent only on the input map.

A [[cartography table]] can also be used to clone a map.

The parts of the world that have already been explored and mapped are copied, and newly explored areas appear on both instances. If one of the maps is later zoomed out, then the maps lose their connection to each other and function as completely separate maps that have to be individually filled by exploring.

In Creative mode, a map in an item frame may be cloned by using {{control|pick block}} on it, as long as that map is not also in the player's inventory.

It doesn't matter if the map to be cloned is at a higher zoom level (made of more paper) than the blank map. Upon copying the map, both resulting maps have the same magnification as the starting map.

{{/BE|clone}}

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Map, Empty Map}}

=== Marking points ===
{{IN|java}} the player has the ability to mark spots on a map. To do this, {{control|use}} a map on a placed-down [[banner]], and the spot of the banner gets marked on the map. The mark takes the color of whatever the base color is for the banner, and if the banner has a name, the mark shows that name. Banner marks on a map are always oriented with their top facing north, regardless of the banner's actual orientation. If the banner is destroyed, the mark of the banner remains at first, but if the player gets closer to where the banner previously was, it disappears as the area is updated on the map.

If a map is mounted on an item frame and is within the area it depicts, the mounted map displays its current location with a green indicator rotated to match its orientation.

[[File:Map Marker Bedrock on Item frame.png|thumb|181x181px|{{IN|bedrock}} this is what a map lying on an item frame looks like, while showing markers.]]
{{IN|bedrock}} the player can place copies of locator maps in [[item frame]]s in order to create a land mark. The marker is a green dot that resembles the shape of the player's marker, but in green color. The position the marker points at depends on the direction the item frame is facing. It is worth noting that the markers work only on copies of the same map. Other maps of the same area do not show the existing markers that the player(s) had placed.

If a player has a cloned map in their inventory, their pointer appears white when viewed on the same map held by another player. Hence, if all players have the same cloned map in their inventory, all markers would appear white when the clone map is viewed.

===Locking===
[[File:Cartography table UI lock.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|Java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being locked.]]

Maps can be locked when using a [[glass pane]] in a [[cartography table]]. This creates a new map containing the same data and locks it. All copies of this new map are also locked. A locked map never changes, even when the depicted terrain changes. {{IN|Be}}, locked maps have a unique texture.

|The pointer no longer disappears when leaving the map, but transforms into a white dot, indicating on what side of the map the player is located.
|Maps now align to a grid, making it easier to create adjacent maps.
|Maps can now be zoomed out (but not zoomed in).
|Maps can now be cloned and scaled.}}

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Use of the {{key|F1}} key can allow the player to hold a map without blocking their view at all.
* In ''Java Edition'', a map created using {{cmd|give}} can be any map by using the Map parameter to specify the map number desired. E.g. {{cmd|give [player] minecraft:filled_map{map:5<nowiki>}}} gives the specified player map_5. If no data value is supplied it defaults to map_0. If map_0 has not ever been crafted, it is centered on x=0, z=0.
* The maps are stored separately as their own data (<code>.dat</code>) file as <code>map_x.dat</code> with (x) being the map number, see [[map item format]] for more info. By manipulating this number, players can organize their maps to suit them, or if they accidentally create a map in the same location, they can delete their extra map so as to save the number they make.
* Certain programs can be used to make customized maps with images or text on them instead of actual maps, many people use these in adventure maps to show pictures or to tell a story.
* Since all copies of a map are links to the same file, copying an unfinished map keeps it synchronized with the copy as the player fills it in. Thus, a copy stored in a chest can act as a remote backup.
* A map that is in an item frame does not update itself until a player picks it up, lets it reload, and places it back again. However, if a player holds a clone of the map, both maps update.
* Filled maps are the only items that make 90 degree rotations in item frames, and also the only items that can expand the item frame into full block wide.
* On [[Legacy Console Edition]], the player always spawns with a map in their inventory after creating a world. This was later added to Bedrock Edition as an optional feature in the world creation menu.
* Maps on Legacy Console Edition always show the player's current coordinates, as a substitute for the optional [[Coordinates|coordinate display]] in other editions.
* A map cannot be created on [[New Nintendo 3DS Edition]]. Instead, the map is always displayed on the bottom screen along with the coordinates. Biome colors do not appear on maps.
