Usage

Crafting ingredient

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Book	Paper + Leather
Empty Locator Map	Paper + Compass		When you first create 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 you travel around the inside borders of it. This variation is called an "empty locator map"[Bedrock Edition only] or an "empty map"[Java and Legacy Console editions only]
Empty Map	Paper		Bedrock Edition only Maps can be crafted without a compass, though they will not show the location marker. To add a marker, the map must be combined with a compass using an anvil or a crafting table.
Firework Rocket	Any Firework Star + Paper + Gunpowder	3	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 will go off simultaneously when the rocket detonates.
Firework Rocket	Paper + Gunpowder	3	When crafted this way (without a firework star), the rocket will have no explosion effects.
Map (zoomed out)	Paper + Map		Version exclusive.[Java and Bedrock editions only] The output will be a zoomed-out version of the input map.
