Does anyone know how a map works, specially a woodland map? I’ve been playing the game for years, since 2013, and even from taking a long break for 4 years. I kind of forgot how maps work lol. I think I get it though. As the image I’ve added, do I head north west? Or is it south east as maps are opposite. I know I could travel through nether, it I like walking in the over world. Just a preference. But yeah, I’ve kind of forgot how maps work, but I’m not sure if it’s south I’m going or north.
Exactly, you would move northwest to enter the space displayed on the map.
Woodland maps are part of a new kind of map, where instead of drawing the location you are in, they show you the way to a POI. In this case, an Illager mansion
I wasn’t sure lol, and again, I havn’t played in 4 years after starting my world so I was sort of confused, although sort of understand it. I also started travelling through the nether for a faster way of getting there.
Also the little dot will get bigger once you’re about 1000 blocks away from the mansion.
Just a heads up, woodland mansions are not super common as they can only generate in dark forest biomes. There’s a chance that you’ll be travelling for a decent amount of time depending on how far away that mansion is. It’s not like a buried treasure map where you can safely assume it’ll be a quick trip to reach it. Then again, you could be lucky and the mansion isn’t that far away.
