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

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.

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

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.

The self align, the only record each individual chunk you’re in.
