| Empty Locator Map | Paper + Compass |
When the player first creates a map, it is blank. Hold the empty map and press use item to transform the empty map into a map item, which gradually begins filling with information as that player travels within its borders.
This variation is called an "empty locator map" in Bedrock Edition, or an "empty map" in Java Edition. | |
| Empty Map | Paper | [Bedrock Edition only]
Maps crafted without a compass do not show location markers. Markers can be added later by combining the map with a compass on an anvil, crafting table, or cartography table. This variation is called an "empty map". | |
| Firework Rocket | Any Firework Star + Paper + Gunpowder |
Adding more gunpowder increases the duration of the rocket. Up to three gunpowder can be used. Up to five firework stars can also be used with three gunpowder. Up to seven firework stars can be used by using firework stars instead of additional gunpowder. All firework stars explode almost simultaneously when the rocket detonates. | |
| Firework Rocket | Paper + Gunpowder |
When crafted this way (without a firework star), the rocket does not have explosion effects. |
Anvil usage[edit]
| Name | Ingredients | Anvil usage | Description |
