Minecraft Cartography Table & What it Does

You might wonder what exactly a "Cartography Table" does in Minecraft and it's rather simple. These are special work station blocks that are used for map manipulation production. They’re very specific in nature, yet neat to use within the game to adjust the map options in the game. The Cartography tables can be broken with any tool, but axes are the quickest in doing so.

These are easy to craft items requiring pieces of paper and wooden planks in order to create them. You can find Cartography tables naturally generating within cartographer houses of the villages. For a fun fact, the table can be used as fuel within a furnace to smelt 1.5 items. That is, if you’re desperate to cook something in there I suppose. More details and crafting guide below.
Uses and Other Details:
To essentially summarize, the latest item is mostly decorative in nature. It provides functionality to customize your mapping experience within the game. To use you’ll open the table up like usual and it’ll contain slots. You can choose from a variety of options for crafting. When selected, you’ll get a preview of the item after the materials have been applied. Once you’re happy, just take the preview and you’ll have what you wanted to create. You’re able to clone, zoom out and lock maps using this table. There are multiple recipe options as well to adjust things beyond that

The Cartography table crafting creation is as follows. The top row; Paper | Paper | Blank, second row is Wood Plank | Wood Plank | Blank, and the third row is Wood Plank | Wood Plank | Blank. Keep in mind that the wood planks can be of any combination for this particular creation. This is not flammable, but lava can set it on fire.
