This article is about the map used to find rare structures. For the craftable map, see Map.

Explorer maps are special maps used to aid in finding rare generated structures, including woodland mansions, ocean monuments and buried treasure.

Obtaining

Trading

Woodland and ocean explorer maps can be bought from cartographer villagers by unlocking their tier 4 trades. An ocean explorer map is sold for 12–20 emeralds and a compass, and a woodland explorer map is sold for 16–28 emeralds and a compass.

Usage

Locating structures

There are three types of explorer maps: woodland, ocean, and buried treasure. 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, ocean monument or buried treasure 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. When the player is less than 1027 blocks away from the map border, the icon will return to the proper size. When the player reaches the map's area of land (512*512), the map will fill in like a normal map.

The basic functions of a buried treasure explorer map are similar to that of the other two. However, instead of showing the structure icon on the map, it shows a red X instead. The buried treasure structure is located on the same X and Z coordinates as the middle of the X. To locate the chest spot, hold the treasure map with both hands, not in the offhand slot.

Cloning

Ingredients Crafting recipe Description
Empty Map +
Ocean Explorer Map or
Woodland Explorer Map or
Buried Treasure Map
The output will have the same map center as the input map, and the same ocean monument, woodland mansion or buried treasure marker. Cloned maps are stackable.

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 explorer maps can be obtained by pick blocking on the explorer map displayed on item frames (the map needs to be out of the player's inventory when using pick block, or else that map will just be moved into their active hotbar slot).

Data values

ID

Explorer maps use the item id of regular maps, filled_map in Java Edition and map in Bedrock Edition.

Item data

An explorer map differs from a map in that its display tag is set, which includes a Mapcolor and a LocName; also its Decorations list includes an entry for its target monument, mansion or buried treasure. Its map item entry is identical to that of a normal map, except that by the time the player sees it, its colors byte array is pre-filled with explorer maps' characteristic land-water boundary lines and water shading.

It should be noted that this additional data is stored in the Cartographer's NBT data and in the inventory item's NBT data, and not in the map file (e.g. map_0.dat). If the player were to use the /give command to give themselves a map with the same map ID as an existing explorer map, it will still have the Ocean Monument/Woodland Mansion icon on the map, but it will simply be named "Map" instead of, for example, "Ocean Explorer Map".

  • Item data
    •  tag:
      •  display: How the map looks in an item slot. See also Player.dat_format#Display Properties.
        •  Name: The name the map is given. In this case, they are localized strings: either {"translate":"filled_map.monument"},{"translate":"filled_map.mansion"} or {"translate":"filled_map.buried_treasure"}.
        •  MapColor: Color codes are calculated from the Red, Green and Blue components using this formula:
          Red<<16 + Green<<8 + Blue.[note 1] Monument maps use 3830373, which is
          rgb(58,114,101)
          . Mansion maps use 5393476, which is
          rgb(82,76,68)
          . Buried treasure explorer maps do not use a color code.
      •  Decorations:
        • : One of these for each icon on the map. Explorer maps always have at least one representing their target.
          •  id: An arbitrary unique string identifying the decoration. For explorer map target structures, this is "+".
          •  rot: The rotation of the icon. For explorer map target structures, this is always 180.
          •  type: The ID of the map icon: 8 for a mansion map, 9 for a monument map, 26 for a treasure map.
          •  x: The world x-coordinate of the target structure icon.
          •  z: The world z-coordinate of the target structure icon.
Notes
  1. For positive values larger than 0x00FFFFFF, the top byte is ignored. All negative values produce white.

In Bedrock Edition, the item Data Value distinguishes explorer maps from one another and from used plain and locator maps:

'''Clocks''' are [[Daylight cycle|time]]-telling devices that display the current in-game position of the sun and the moon. Clocks only function properly in the [[Overworld]].

Expert-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|1|2}} (50%) chance to sell a clock for 5 emeralds.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==

[[File:WatchCycle.gif|thumb|Clock animation]]
The clock dial consists of two halves, a day side and a night side. The dial spins clockwise slowly to indicate the time of day, corresponding to the sun or moon's actual position in the sky. The player is able to [[bed|sleep]] a few seconds after the clock shows exactly dusk.

The dial always shows the current in-game time when in the [[Overworld]], regardless of where it appears. This includes a player's hand, an inventory slot, a [[Crafting table|crafting grid]], an [[item frame]], or even as a dropped [[Item (entity)|item]]. For a clock to be mounted on a wall, an [[item frame]] is required.

Because there is no day/night cycle in [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], clocks do not work properly in these dimensions. Instead, the dial rotates rapidly and randomly, making them useless.

=== Piglins ===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to clocks and run toward any clock on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory.

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* {{IN|java}}, a clock can be viewed under the item [[statistics]] page as long as one obtained a clock at some point.
* {{IN|java}}, the default resource pack for the clock contains 64 individual frames, each frame lasting about 18.75 seconds in real time (375 ticks) (1350 seconds (22 minutes, 30 seconds) in Minecraft time).
* When the time of day changes suddenly, such as after sleeping or when {{cmd|time}} is used, the clock dial spins rapidly to catch up.
* Although clocks do not function in the Nether or the End, the actual daylight cycle does continue.

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}

A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>

If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.

=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}

=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.

=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.

Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.

Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.

For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.

=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.


Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.

Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.

After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]

A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.

{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.

{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.

: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ {front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}

Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.

=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.

Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}

Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).

=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.

=== Note Blocks ===
Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds.

| title = Rabbit Stew
| heals = {{hunger|10}}
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = No
}}

'''Rabbit stew''' is a [[food]] [[item]] that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
  |shapeless=true
  |B1=Cooked Rabbit
  |A2=Carrot
  |B2=Baked Potato
  |C2=Any Mushroom
  |B3=Bowl
  |Output=Rabbit Stew
  |type=Foodstuff
}}

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level Butcher villagers always offer to sell rabbit stew for one emerald as their second trade.

{{IN|java}}, novice-level Butcher villagers have a 50% chance of offering rabbit stew for one emerald.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
To eat rabbit stew, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|10}} [[hunger]] and 12 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. This restores more hunger than any other food type in the game except [[cake]], but has less saturation than a [[golden carrot]], a [[cooked porkchop]], or a [[steak]].

Eating rabbit stew leaves the player with an empty bowl, similar to [[mushroom stew]], [[suspicious stew]], and [[beetroot soup]].

=== Wolves ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, rabbit stew can be used to feed [[wolves]], healing them by {{hp|10|mob=1}}. However, unlike other wolf food, rabbit stew does not speed up the growth of baby wolves, and it cannot be used to breed them. It is usable only on a wolf that has less than full health.

== Sounds ==
{{Sound table/Entity/Food}}

== Trivia ==
* If the ingredients of rabbit stew were eaten separately and the [[mushroom]] had become half of a [[mushroom stew]], they would restore a total of {{Hunger|16}} and 19.2 saturation points. Without counting the mushroom, the separate ingredients would restore {{Hunger|13}} and 15.6 saturation points. Therefore, crafting rabbit stew results in a net loss of restorative points, though it is quicker than eating all the ingredients separately.
* Rabbit stew restores more hunger and total food points (hunger + saturation) than nearly any other single item (the exception is a suspicious stew with Saturation).  This is balanced by the point that the stew does not stack, and with its complex recipe it's not so easy to make "on the road". The suspicious stew shares the unstackability, but with only four ingredients it can at least be crafted in the inventory.

'''Rotten flesh''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]], with high risk of inflicting [[Hunger (status effect)|Hunger]] and low [[Saturation]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Zombies ====
[[Zombie]]s, [[zombie villager]]s, [[zombie horse]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[drowned]] drop from 0 to 2 units of rotten flesh. [[Looting]] can increase this by one per level, for a maximum of 5 rotten flesh.

==== Zoglins ====
[[Zoglin]]s drop 1-3. Looting III grants a maximum of 6.

==== Zombified piglins ====
[[Zombified Piglin|Zombified piglins]] drop 0-1. Looting III grants a maximum of 4.

=== Fishing ===
Rotten flesh can be obtained as a "junk" item while [[fishing]].

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|rotten-flesh}}

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a rotten flesh.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management}}

To eat rotten flesh, press and hold {{control|use}} while rotten flesh is selected in the hotbar.

Eating rotten flesh restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 0.8 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]], but has an 80% chance of inflicting {{EffectLink|Hunger (effect)|id=Hunger}} for 30 seconds. Note that the duration does ''not'' accumulate when eating multiple pieces. However, if more is consumed and the [[Hunger (effect)|Hunger]] status effect is inflicted, the duration resets to 30 seconds.

=== Wolves ===
Rotten flesh can be used to [[breed]] and heal tamed [[wolves]], lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Wolves are immune to the Hunger effect.

=== Trading ===
Novice-level [[Trading#Cleric|cleric villagers]] buy 32 rotten flesh for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

}}

==Usage==
{{Main|Suspicious Block}}
{{Control|Using}} the brush on any block displays a brushing animation, slowing down the player and creating breaking [[particles]], but not actually damaging the block or brush. When continuously brushing a [[suspicious block]], a random item slowly emerges from it until it drops out, and the block turns into regular [[sand]] or regular [[gravel]], depleting 1 [[durability]] point on the brush. It takes 96 [[game tick]]s (4.8 seconds) to brush a single suspicious block. 

=== Enchantments ===
A brush can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

{{Item

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
|Book
|Ink Sac
|Feather
|Output= Book and Quill
|type= Miscellaneous
}}

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The in-game restrictions on books are not hard limits. Third party editors or commands can make books have more than 100 pages{{only|java}} (2,147,483,639 pages), more than 256 characters per page (32,767 characters per page), can change author names, and can have colored titles, among other things. These books still function properly in vanilla ''Minecraft'', meaning the [[player]] may encounter such books on adventure maps or multiplayer servers.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-hacking-books</ref>
* If the player renames a book and quill in an anvil before signing it, it retains the name from the anvil instead of taking the name from signing.{{only|java}}

Issues

Issues relating to "Explorer Map" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • When a cartographer generates the trade offers for the explorer maps, it chooses the location of one of the nearest structures of the respective type (ocean monument or woodland mansion).
  • For the reason above, explorer maps obtained from one cartographer will always be the same. Also, if two cartographers unlock the explorer map trades approximately at the same place and the same time, the map locations will usually be identical.
  • Explorer maps fill as the chunks are generated, rather than when the player holds them while in the area; leaving an explorer map while exploring the area will still fill the map.
  • Buried treasure explorer maps are named Buried Treasure Map in the Java Edition while in the Bedrock Edition they are named Treasure Map.
  • It is possible for a cartographer to give an ocean monument or woodland mansion explorer map for areas where the structures would have spawned in the world, but were unable to as a result of terrain generation. As a result, explorer maps, unfortunately, won't always guarantee that a structure will exist at the purported location. This is most common with woodland mansion explorer maps, due to its generation algorithm.
