| 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"[Pocket Edition only] or an "empty map"[Java and Console editions only] |
|
| Empty Map | Paper | Pocket 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 |
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 |
When crafted this way (without a firework star), the rocket will have no explosion effects. | |
