Minecraft Cartography Table PNG

The Cartography Table exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Cartography Table render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Cartography table in Minecraft: clone, zoom out and lock maps

The cartography table is the workstation for maps. It does three things: clone a map, zoom it out to cover more ground and lock it so it never changes. Bedrock adds more: it makes empty maps from paper, adds the position marker with a compass, and renames maps without spending experience, unlike an anvil.

Cloning is handy for sharing: every copy is linked, so whatever anyone explores shows up on all of them. Zooming out needs a map that has already been used, never an empty one, and the new map starts drawing from scratch. If you want a map wall, each map has to begin in its own area; making several in one spot and zooming them out later does not work. Locking uses a plain glass pane, since stained ones will not do.

It is the cartographer's job site block, and generates in their village houses and in trail ruins. Anything breaks it, an axe being quickest, and it works as fuel for 1.5 items.

A curious detail: whichever way you face when placing it, its sides always end up the same way round. The globe side faces west and the compass-and-map side faces up.
