Minecraft Forums

Hello! This is just a quick curiousity of mine, I recently got the items together to craft myself a map in an incredibly dense jungle world, and I was ecstatic to be able to have something to add to the ease of getting around. The problem I ran into was when I crafted the map, to my dismay, I find that to my frustration the map did not center on where I had made it, but some significant distance to the northwest, towards my initial spawn area. From my knowledge map items are supposed to, when used, center on the area the user is standing on, yet this was not the case. I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if there's some new way of using a map I haven't been able to discover in my research on the forums and wiki.
