Explorer Map

Exploration Maps are special maps used to aid in finding rare generated structures.

Obtaining
Exploration Maps can be obtained by trading with the new cartographer villager variant. One must pay a number of emeralds and a compass to receive both types of the map.

Usage
There are two types of the Exploration Map: Woodland and Ocean. The maps show a section of land that contains a woodland mansion or ocean monument respectively. The structures are displayed as a small icon. The maps will have the blank map texture where land is present and a maroon colored texture where water is present. If the player icon is smaller than it would be on a normal map that means the player is a great distance away and will return to the proper size when the player draws closer. When the player reaches the showed section of land, the map will fill in normally.

Zoom out
You can zoom out the Exploration Map just like regular maps. The zoomed out map will only retain the Ocean monument or Woodland Mansion marker/icon. It will loose all of the other data (if filled by the player), including decorative land outlines.

Cloning
The parts of the world that have already been explored and mapped will be copied, and newly explored areas will appear on both instances. In Creative Mode, cloned exploration maps can be obtained by pick blocking on the exploration map displayed on item frames (make sure the map is out of your inventory when using pick block, or else that map will just be moved into your active hotbar slot).

Trivia

 * Explorer maps do not show the nearest structure, just one of them
