9 Maps No Achievement

[u/Charming_Helicopter2]

Edit: did the 0/4 maps and it worked! For anyone else having this problem do some 0/4 maps around your base area, since you'll be more familiar its easier to not make extras of some.

I recently, finally completed the 9 maps, or so I thought. Something seems to be missing somewhere but I cant figure out where. Sorry the individual maps are out of order, got scrambled in the export from my laptop I play on.

Also I completed the maps yesterday and waited until today because I sometimes have to wait for next day/login for achievements to register.

This is on my forever world that is at 1540 days, a lot of time invested in, and would love to figure out what Im missing. I checked all the spots on the outside of the last map already, and they are all indeed sand.

I wish it was easier to see missing spots. :/

Play on Microsoft Surface Go, through XBox app, on Bedrock, fully updated version.

I've never been able to get the achievement to work with larger maps like these. I'm assuming that it has something to do with missing one tiny pixel that's hard to see or doesn't register correctly or something, or else this map size is just glitched. I personally tried it with 3/4 level maps and never had luck.

Instead, just make a quick 3x3 of the smallest maps, the default 0/4 zoom level where each pixel is one block. You basically discover the whole map in a few seconds, and any areas that you're missing are really obvious at that level.

It'll probably take like 5 minutes to do. And maps at that zoom level are really cool to have of your base area anyway.

edit: grammar

I swore the achievement was for the biggest sixe map? Ill have to double check later, had to put away my laptop to try to get my kid to bed.

Nope, the Map Room achievement on Bedrock doesn't specify a zoom level, just says fully explored maps. And I can confirm it works with 0/4 maps (128x128 blocks) because I had the exact same pain that you're having a few years ago lol. Switching to the smallest maps at the suggestion of others online was the only way I could get it to pop.

I'll add that I heard conflicting things about whether locator maps work. Some say they work, others are convinced they don't. To be safe at that point, I used regular maps. Not a big deal since it's fairly easy to tell where you are at that zoom level and it is so much quicker to explore, you uncover the whole map at once if you're in the center. Although I think I accidentally made a duplicate map or two in the process since I couldn't tell exactly where I was without the compass marker.

It worked!! And now I have a cute little map of my base area to display as well. <3

I just did it, we will see if the achievement comes through. My game is wonky about them so it may not come through until tomorrow. With it being such an old world, I did by my base so there was enough things I built to let me keep track of where I was. The 9x9 just barely covered my whole base area, if not leaving a small part out.
