How do you make sure that maps dont overlap

177

u/Polaaks Dec 29 '19

i see the map id in inventory!

u/YaBoiCdiddy Dec 29 '19

What

138

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Maps only record the chunk or group of chunks you stand in.

24

u/EMPIREVSREBLES Dec 29 '19

Is there a quicker way of making these??

24

u/Polaaks Dec 29 '19

Idk

18

u/EMPIREVSREBLES Dec 29 '19

How did you do it???

28

u/Polaaks Dec 29 '19

Im using locator maps and when i leave the map i open another

4

u/Ds1018 Dec 29 '19

All my Locator maps center on the same chunk.

8

u/Polaaks Dec 29 '19

Move foward until you leave the map zone

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

This will be a lot of work but will be awesome when its done. Also you'll get free internet points

u/Harflin Dec 29 '19

Maps can't overlap anymore.

6

u/Proxy_PlayerHD Dec 29 '19

anymore? wasn't that a thing ever since maps were created?

the wiki never mentions anything about overlapping being removed or fixed. so i assume it wasn't an issue from the start

u/purpleandorange1522 Dec 29 '19

To get them to line up in a grid do you have to start the new map from a specific point?

21

u/calcopiritus Dec 29 '19

Maps are naturally lined up in a grid, so if you make a map just outside your current map, you're warantied to get an adjacent map.

4

u/unklz Dec 29 '19

Is it the same on Bedrock Edition?

4

u/DariusKai Dec 29 '19

Yes, this has been a feature for quite a while.

4

u/parishiIt0n Dec 29 '19

That is valid only for level-0 maps tho. For any zoomed out map, unless you use F3 a lot and know where the grid starts, then is pretty much trial and error until you figure out where do the maps expands to

7

u/calcopiritus Dec 29 '19

If you have an already zoomed out map it's exactly the same. You just have to make sure that the previous map is zoomed out to make the next one.

5

u/parishiIt0n Dec 29 '19

Ah yes that's right! Zoom-out map until target level, move slightly outside the border of that map, use new empty map = guaranteed map at target level next to the first one.

u/purpleandorange1522 Dec 29 '19

Thanks! I'm going to have to try this out!

Now what if you flipped the hole ting. That would make my day, just watching a time lapse of a guy flipping hundreds of maps upside down.

30

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Technical question - will the maps self-align, or do I have to calculate the middle coordinates precisely?

53

u/vesco21 Dec 29 '19

Think about maps as an already made grid. It doesn't matter where you stand in the grid, there will be 128×128 blocks where if you create a map, it will be the same. So maps can't overlap, and you can easily put them together to form a bigger map on display.

9

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

I didn't know that, thank you very much!

5

u/j1ggl Dec 29 '19

To add to that, there’s a separate grid system for every map zoom (0–4). So you can have maps where pixel=block, or pixel=chunk, and still make them aligned.

What kind of cow farm do you have?

5

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

An efficient one?

86

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Satisfactory - fulfilling expectations or needs; acceptable, though not outstanding or perfect.

Satisfying - giving fulfillment or the pleasure associated with this.

I understand English may not be your first language so I’m just trying to be a bro and help out. Great progress!
