Explorer Map

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

Obtaining
An ocean explorer map can be bought from a cartographer villager for 12–20 emeralds and a compass, and a woodland explorer map can be bought from a cartographer for 16-28 emeralds and a compass, as their tier 4 trades.

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 above sea level and an orange, striated texture below sea level. 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 lose all of the other data (if filled by the player), including decorative land outlines. By default Exploration Maps are scaled at 1:4 (level 2/4). That is two level higher than newly created regular map, which is at 1:1.

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
 * Explorer maps obtained from one Cartographer will always be the same
 * The icon for Exploration Maps is slightly offset from regular maps
