How to unlock the Map Room achievement in Minecraft - Definitive Guide

I could not get this on an imported world with a completed map, so if you are having trouble with that then here is how to do it easily from the beginning.

Start a new world. The map you spawn with has a scale of 1:8, meaning that every 8 blocks in the world is 1 pixel on the map. It used to be the case that every new map you make would automatically be this scale. However, now when you make a map the default scale is 1:1, meaning that every pixel on the map is a block in the world. To change the scale you have to surround a used map with 8 pieces of paper.

However, this achievement does not require 1:8 maps; it just requires any map. Thus, if you make nine 1:1 maps and disregard the one you spawned with, it is much easier to make because the 1:1 maps fill out almost instantly (not completely though).

Update: I have heard that it may be glitchy if you use regular maps. Use locator maps just to be safe (just add a compass to an empty map).

There may be an issue with using the regular maps, it may be required that you need to use the locator maps. I was unable to pop this achievement using the regular maps.

I was able to get this on a copy of my non-imported world, by using the lowest level resolution maps (0/4) created new just for this. My 3x3 wall of 3/4 maps wouldn't register it, but the 0/4 maps did. This achievement is very picky it seems.

I had a few frustrating moments with this achievement not popping! Took me a good stare down at each map to realize a couple pixels weren’t discovered. If you’re having trouble unlocking, I would suggest running through all your maps just to uncover any corners you may have missed!

Got this on an imported world, I have a full 25 maps fully explored and on display. When I first tried doing this by taking the corner piece, it would not pop for me. Later when I was messing around, I knocked off two different pieces. When I put them back together it unlocked. So this might take several tries from different angles

just a heads up, if you are having trouble with this one of your maps is not 100% complete, even if they look 100% i tried to get this one for 2 days, tried maps and locator maps. ended up loading my world into universal minecraft editor and found one of my maps had "fullyExplored:0" even tho the map was 100% done. i chested that map and made another and it worked. checking your maps with ume is not easy as its alot of back and forth between inv and checking the world maps to find that exact map.

and yes i was able to get all 9 working and got the achievement, and just to make clear i do not condone or encourage using ume for anything other than info, please do not use this as a way to cheat.

So I had the same problems as mentioned here but the problem is that the maps are not fully discovered. When i tried to get the achievement i tried it for hours and suddenly I found a map with a white pixel in the corner of it and it was undiscovered. After going there and placing all maps in a 3x3 square i got the achievement. (ive also tried an imported world before that and after I got the achievement i saw that one map was also missing a small chunk so be careful and look closely to be sure not to miss a pixel)

I did this on peaceful in Beta 1.2.10.1 and I had to make a new world for this achievement to unlock. I tried doing it on an imported world and it did not work.

What I Did:
I loaded a new world on peaceful and just ran around until I got quite a bit of sugar cane. After that I planted the sugar cane on a beach so it would grow and I could get more. A trick to finding cows or any mob that you are looking for in particular is to keep running around in a huge circle around the map and killing ALL MOBS you see as it will then cause more to spawn, hence a better chance at cows or horses spawning which you need for leather.
After I got enough materials I crafted 9 frames + 9 EMPTY LOCATOR MAPS which were all 1:1 ratio maps, put it all together and then the achievement popped about 2 minutes later after staring at it and breaking blocks around it.

Place 9 fully explored maps onto 9 "Item Frames" in a 3x3 square.
(I used 1:1 Maps)

NEEDED:
9 x Locator Maps (Compass + 8 Paper)
9 x Item Frames (Leather + 8 Sticks)

Make sure all corners are filled in!!!

chances are you are missing a corner or 2 in some of your maps, make sure they are filled in. You can see an example if you watch my video

I didn't believed it at first but after looking again, I was missing some corners as well. Grab back the map with the missing corners and go re-explore the area. Make sure the corners are full and place them back in the frame and Voilà!

For the record I was using Locator Maps and even with Locator maps, some corners can still be missed.

Thanks

If you already happen to have a world with maps, either imported from the original x1 version or by joining via crossplatform connection to MCPE or Windows 10 edition, you might have to re explore 9 maps, as otherwise it wont unlock.

The new X1 version features smaller maps than the old maps, and you will need to get 9 of those. Don't panic yet as those are really easy to discover. Took me only a few minutes to do this solo. You will need to get 9 empty maps at least, which can be crafted from 9 paper per map, which in turn can be crafted from 3 sugar cane per 3 maps. Also trading with villagers can get you empty maps.

To start, open an empty map and discover it. Then walk to the edge of the map until your arrow becomes a dot. Then walk a bit further and open up a 2nd map and explore that one as well, and so on.

Same thing is happening with me SL1CK CHR1S. Currently have 3 maps completely filled on item frames perfectly placed so no map is upside down or in a different area than the rest. All in a 3x3 grid. Achievement is not popping. Weird because it says other people have recently gotten it.

Edit: Went to each corner of each map and put them back in the item frames and it popped. Bit buggy but if you just go to the corner that was grayed out in the beginning when you created the map it should work.

I imported my world where I got this achievement on the Xbox One Edition AND made sure the "allow cheats" option is disabled. After taking down and replacing all of the maps the achievement isn't popping. I really don't want to have to do this again. It's really frustrating how buggy this game is.

Hello All.

Just got the cheevo - March 11th, 2020. First, I used the base level Empty Maps 0/4 and the Locator Maps 0/4, but could not get the achievement. And yes, all maps were fully explored as I tried this on three different worlds.

After upgrading each map once to Locator Maps (compass + empty map) all upgraded to 1/4 level. Adding one piece of paper to each one also clears each map so you have to walk the area again and place them back on the frames.
Cheevo popped after about 15 seconds.

I would avoid desert areas as they are super difficult to see - particularly in the corners of each map.

Good luck!

Hello,

I have finally figured this achievement out. I completed this achievement on a world that I imported from the minecraft xbox one version.

First things first you can do this on any map size. So i recommend just making 9 locator maps at 0/4 level and completing it.

Second you have to be out of the range of any map you have created previously to importing old worlds. So if you are doing this on an imported world make sure you are out of range of the 3/4 level map that you will have because that is what you spawned with on the xbox one version. I moved out of the map and kept walking for like 2 minutes to make sure I was out of range of the map.

My recommendation would be to either get Elytra wings and fly far away from anything you have ever explored or Walk far away if you don't have the wings.

Next just take your 9 maps and fill them out at the 0/4 level. This part only takes like ten minutes. I kept them organized in my upper inventory. I brought them back to base placed them in the 3x3 square and achievement unlocked.

Basically you have to have 9 maps of an area you haven't already discovered.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions.

As of 07/12/2019 If you are having issues unlocking this achievement, this is how I did it.

Make 9 empty maps. Not Locator Maps. Do not waste paper on upgrading them either. Just keep them small.

Walk around your starting spawn or base area creating maps. Be mindful that the edges and corners are filled in. Fortunately, if they are not, you don't have far to walk.

Place them in the frames and that should pop the achievement.

So when you get down to it its a pretty simple achievement. Basically all you need to do Is get 9 new locator maps, they can be level 0 it doesn't matter. What you need to do is fully explore 9 different map areas, so what you do is use the empty map and explore it then go left until you can't see you're blip fully anymore then use another map and then continue to do that all around the first map you used. You also have to get the edges of the map. Then place them in a 3x3 frame and make sure they are in the correct place.
