Two handed mapping
it should be mentioned somewhere about the new two handed map system. I was convinced this was a bug until I read a bug fix report that mentioned two handed map holding. --99.197.200.161 16:58, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You are right, it wasn't in the Map article and definitely should have been. Taken care of; good catch, thanks! – Sealbudsman talk/contr 17:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Entire Tutorial is Wrong
1. The maps don't perfectly align, not even in item frames. Level 1 maps leave a gap of 2 squares along each border and intersection, up to 32 missing squares (2 whole chunks) along the edges and intersections of level 5 maps. Great for trophies, awful for meaningful exploration and navigation.

2. For the purposes of E&N, you'll want to use Level 3 maps, for which the price of Mapping Paper > Compasses > Gold Ingots & Redstone is *unacceptable*.

3. The method given for mapping the Origin does not map around *it*, but the four quarters surrounding point (-64, -64).

4. More extensive diagrams are required to fully grasp mapping, and highlight the differences between your (mis-)understanding of mapping, and my understanding of it, as I have conducted painfully tedious and extensive testing.

5. There are no links on the page to item pages and bug reports. LastWordSword (talk) 21:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
