I am creating an adventure map and want to create a map where only a small section of the paper map is explored, to direct the player to go there.
But... I have already explored the entire map, so any new maps I make are full explored. Is there a way to reset this? Or can I make a paper map that only has a small portion explored at this point?
You can create a new world using the same seed string, but none of the building you have done will be in that new map... so, probably the answer for your purposes is no, can't be done.
Odd. I thought maps only showed where you were at while holding them in front of you.
Come to think of it, you're right. Players who are entering a world for the first time are only able to see the spawn area on the map and then their map fills in as they explore the world for themselves. However, they could read locate another site on the map by reading the coordinates, so OP, you could probably do what you want by just putting the coordinates of the place you want them to go on a sign at the initial spawn point.
A new person to the map will only be able to see their immediate area on their map. If they trade maps with you they can see everything on your map. You could place a rail line or build a canal or place a gravel path to direct new spawners to a certain location.
MAYBE if you invite someone else to your world a friend or whatever ..make him explore what you want him to and then place the map in an ITEM FRAME.... i hope it works
this is what u can do with a generic silver account on your own xbox just hook up a 2nd controller. peace of cake. I did this before and only showed on the map 3 locations I wanted to and that's it u can make more maps from that user and they all will be the same then put in chest for new people. just keep the user incase u need more maps.

You shouldn't create an adventure map in the Xbox version.. First, you can't share it legally (there are modding programs, but they're illegal to use, therefore, asking your viewers to use it may result into a ban in the minecraft Forum, and at worse cases, banned from xbox live). Second, the tools on making an adventure map is limited.
My suggestion is to make the adventure map on PC version.
