- Close the world and extract the archive
Folder data from archive — to world folder (.minecraft/saves/<world>With folder merging. On the server — into the world folder of the server, when the server is stopped.
- Take maps
Open the world with cheats and run the commands above — each one gives one map. Without cheats, they can't be obtained. enable in the created world.
- Hang by numbers
Frames on the wall, maps in grid frames: left to right, top to bottom, like a number table.
What to know
- Map — 128 × 128 points. A 4×4 wall is 512×512 — larger than any structure you can actually build with blocks.
- More colors than any block structure. A map knows four brightness levels for each color, while blocks only know three: therefore, image files are more accurate than pixel art.
- Maps are blocked. The game will not redraw them based on terrain, even if you hold a map in the middle of the world.
- Verified on servers 26.3 and 1.21.11. In 26.x, maps are stored in data/minecraft/maps— previously directly in data; the archive is compiled for the selected version along with version numbering.
A block-based structure will be assembled into an image. pixel art applies an image to a wall with a resource pack — custom paintings..
Frequently asked questions
How to add an image to a map in Minecraft without mods?
Upload an image, select wall size and version — get a ZIP with map files. Extract it into your world folder when the game is closed, then give yourself the maps with /give, and hang them in frames.
Why do map numbers start at 10000?
To avoid overwriting existing maps in the world: you can change the number, and the game will continue adding new maps after the last one.
Does this work on a server?
Yes: the archive is extracted into the server world folder while the world is offline. Maps are given by the operator using the same command /give.
