Notch said it will only map where u went IF its in your hand so, I don't think you will have the map in your hand all the time...
Still. The minimap. since when does holding a map show the surrounding area in the corner of your vision.
I have more of a problem with the mini map then the map.
Since when do green things explode in your face? It's just a game.
Furthermore, having the map open is basically the equivalent of writing down as you explore.
From my time on this fourm I have learn a lot, one of those things is the fact that you hate everything.
If you don't like it, DO NOT CRAFT/FIND/DO it! I personally think maps are a great idea for the game.
You obviously have'nt been here long enough. There are plenty of things I enjoy.
The thing I don't enjoy is when notch dumbs down the game and makes things that were previously dificult to do easy for all the idiots that play this game. [/qoute]
Actually, I joined the fourms before you. Now I don't want to flame you or start a war, but you aren't the kind of coustomer most people would want. So what if "idiots" get to enjoy the game, is there something wrong with that? I have played this game since indev and I still get lost! This isn't a game breaking item like jetpacks or atomic bombs, this just a glorified compass! Which is something most people use without breaking the game.
So, tl;dr-Don't complain, your just wining about the wind thinking its a tornado.

"Just a game" doesn't really elaborate on the conversation here . . .
What I'm sensing from muncher's points are, it'll be too easy. I disagree on that point because *see post above*.
But I also believe that adding hand held maps adds realism to the game along with a use for Sugar paper. (FINALLY)
Side Note: Mini Maps
I doubt his would appear constantly on the screen, but only provide extra clarity when viewing your charts. However if it is a constant structure, I would have to agree that it would be a feature that IS too easy, but also annoying to have on the screen. But again, I severely doubt, both it's existence as a feature to come with maps, and being a constant square on your screen.

I think that it will be a good addition to the game and will allow people who want to enjoy expiring and remembering cool formations of rock easier and other formations that they may want to build a base out of. It will really help players out that build their house far away from their spawn find their way back. The mini-map will be fine but a right-click feature to bring the map up would be better in my opinion. If you like to get lost then just don't look at your map and try to find your way back but you can still map the area you are in out.
It will add a new dimension to adventure maps and finding temples/treasures I know that some people don't like the idea of knowing where you are but it will help new players that don't have as much experience in finding their way back to their house or have bad memory.
Also it is always funny to see topics like this were if you agree with Notch you don't get flamed by people and if you disagree with Notch everyone comes and flames you.
Edit: I think that a really good idea would be you have to bring a ink sack along with you and a quill that degrades as you walk while mapping and so does you ink sack. You would have to bring multiple ink sacks along and quills(feathers) It seems "over powered" but we really won't know until it comes out.
I'm just worried that the map will be a little weird. I mean if mojang cant get stuff like stairs to work, a map with multiple levels in a pixely game? idk.

Whats wrong with stairs? it may just show the top of each structure. Have you seen any of the other mini map mods? May look like that.< Not intended to sound like a ****
It will probably only be an above ground view. That's not overpowered at all. It will be handy you break the surface of your mine after you get lost, or locating items if you died above ground. Minimap will probably suck.
well i guess your right about the above view. I wanted to map caves D: ALWAYS getting lost in them.
About mods, it's notch, AND he doesn't even have Jens anymore. Guarantee there will be a bunch of bugs
I could argue with both sides here.Maps would be nice,but they seem a little....weird.I enjoy them,but its just a little strange.But yeah,they are craftable,so if you dont want them,just dont craft them.These maps could work great in adventure maps.Lets see how they work out.

Mini maps will kill the game and so will I. Adventure maps willl be able to get passed thou.... Mini maps will ruin the game for its exploration. Maps are a time consuming thing and can lead to great things.

Ok, now your just starting to sound like a moron who hates Notch. Really just because he programs somethings means its going to be full of bugs. Look at other releases they were still buggy when Mojang was working on them with Notch. Just because Notch programs something does not mean it is going to be buggy that just a **** thing to say. Its going to be buggy anyway. Minecraft is in Beta and your a tester. There will be bugs.

I'm saying that the Maps are something that would take time because you also have to uncover the land and walk by it in order to gain the picute of it. Mini maps sit in the corner and do absolutly nothing... they just make it not an adventure just a spoiler....

By that logic,swords are pointless because they take up soace in your inventory.

Some people want maps because they don't want to get lost. Come on guys just because you don't like something doesn't mean they aren't a good idea. Either way Notch is going to put them in so stop complaining.

He said they would be craftable, or at least an item as they are carried on person.
