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.

Locating structures
There are two types of the Exploration Map: Woodland and Ocean. The maps differ from a normal map, in that it shows the area's land-water outline, as well as an orange striated texture for areas below sea level, and the blank map texture for land above sea level. The maps show a section of land that contains a woodland mansion or ocean monument respectively. This may not be the nearest such structure to the player. The structures are displayed as a small icon. If the player icon is smaller than it would be on a normal map, that means the player is a great distance away, and that icon will return to the proper size when the player draws closer. When the player reaches the map's area of land, the map will fill in like a normal map.

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 obtained from one Cartographer will always be the same
