Better Together, WIndows 10, on Lenovo Thinkpad and Surface Pros...Creative Mode, Normal difficulty. In ImagiverseMC Julliette's Manor, and InPVP Planes, Locator Maps are faulty! They open as blank parchment, and to not render. Sometimes, Save and Quit, then going back in, results in a rendered map, but the location locator is stuck.
I can not log into the Mojang bug site. I sent the request for password reset and it has been about 10 hours with no response. For no response, the instructions are to contact JIRA administrator, but there is NO link to JIRA administrator, nor how to info. So I googled, and got CEO's of JIRA Atlassian, from whom Mojang bought the JIRA software, and from whom I learned Mojang has a Mojang employed JIRA administrator. The real JIRA Altassian CEOs responded within an hour! In the meantime, I was able to access listings at the Mojang bug site, and saw two reports of the faulty map issue. I have also used YouTube to report the issue to ImagiverseMC (Juliette's Manor), Minecraft (???4J ???, Egyptian Mythology), and In*** (Planes)…. I also attempted Twitter communication with these developers. However, given Facebook, Google/YouTube sharing of individual and friend's data, I have no trust in Twitter. I also believe some issues are complex, and require more than a single message of about 10 - 25 words, and require teamwork across corporate entities supported by high levels at each entity. I believe extreme outliers, early adopters, early detectors, should be respected, and not disregarded to due number of likes... I suppose time will tell if there is a critical mass of persons who rely on locator maps in Minecraft, which implies Creative mode, not survivalists. Most likely, survival is what the majority wants. I do not enjoy survival, and do not spend money for survival mode. So, it remains to be seen, does Minecraft/Xbox/Mojang want to support the non-console market, or not??? Likewise, Creative mode consumers, or not?? Whoever thinks these impacts on game play are not related to game play -- they are as entitled to their perspective as I am entitled to mine. All the surrounding issues impact my Minecraft game play, and my extended family, after every update, with multiple glitches, delays, and work on my part to report what should have been detected with testing before release! Minecraft is a big business now, not just a free product.
Minecraft was never a free product, and like any other game, it has glitches. I don't know how many other games you play, but there are many triple A titles that have way more issues than minecraft. That doesn't make the bugs any easier to live with, but games are so complex that it's actually very difficult to test for every bug pre release. All games have bugs and the more complex the game the more prone to bugs it becomes. With regards to minecraft, they are always adding lots of new content, more than any other game. Hence why new bugs are introduced each time. Most games release full of bugs and are gradually patched in the first year or so and become stable because nothing else gets added. Thus is the nature of games like minecraft that consumers are always demanding more content for. But just so we're clear here, minecraft has always been buggy way before Microsoft became involved.

Maybe file a bug report? I believe you've bookmarked the site now, so shouldn't be too difficult to locate (even with a faulty locator map 😉)
