Cartography table usage

[edit | edit source]

Paper can be used to zoom out a map by one level in a cartography table. This method of zooming out map is 8 times more efficient than using a crafting table. In Bedrock Edition, it can also be used to create an empty map or an empty locator map. This is also cheaper than the equivalent crafting recipes.
