A cartography table is a utility block used for cloning, zooming out, and locking maps. It also serves as a cartographer's job site block.

A cartography table can be obtained using any tool or by hand, although using an axe is the fastest.

Cartography tables can generate naturally inside cartographer houses in villages. They can also generate in the trail ruins structure.

Regardless of the player's position during placement, the different textures of the block are always facing the same direction (the texture with the globe in the right corner always faces west, while the one with the compass and map faces up).

Cartography tables are used for zooming out, cloning, and locking maps (making them unable to be altered). In Bedrock Edition, they can also be used for adding pointers to maps, creating empty maps, and renaming maps.

Below is a list of brief descriptions of all available functions of the cartography table:

For more detailed information of each of these functions, see Map § Usage.

Zooming out a map always starts with an existing map, not a blank map. Zooming it out makes the map aligned to the grid that would include the area of the original map. To build a set of maps such as for a map wall, a player cannot create several level 0 (base) maps at one location then zoom them out before going out into the world to fill them in; the player must start with a base map created in each area to be covered by the zoomed out map. See more discussion of map alignment at Map.

In Bedrock Edition, the cartography table UI features a text field which can be used to rename a map or empty map. Unlike renaming items at an anvil, this does not cost any experience.

If a cartography table has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby unemployed villager may become a cartographer and claim it as their job site block.

A cartography table can be used as fuel in a furnace, smelting 1.5 items per block.
