Hey guys, there is a bug I am encountering from at least as far back as 14w32d and onward to 1.8 pre-2.
Maps behave quite erratically when scaling up with paper. You're supposed to be snapped to a chunk-grid on the first map, then every subsequent map, your chunk is centered. When you make the biggest map, you will seem to be in the middle (assuming you are standing where the first map was crafted.
Well, mines' not doing that. Sometimes it centers the zoomed-out map on the top left corner. Sometimes it doesn't. I'm trying to play the game, and combine a lot of full size maps in pure vanilla survival. It is not fun when you carefully calculate the coordinates of the next map, journey out there, only to find that the map is being a punk and you are thousands of blocks away from where it put the center. I have ruined so many supplies I just gave up and used cheats to deliver a stack of empty maps and paper. It just isn't working.
I could mitigate this if I could use /give command to give myself a map centered on the appropriate location...
It's not a fix, but it's a solution. I'm not sure if the command works like that. But the center coordinates are part of the NBT tags.
- edit 8/27/2014: - Large-scale "zoomed out" maps aren't behaving erratically. They now align themselves to an even larger grid. This grid is not consistent with my original big map, so I didn't recognize the new pattern. So if you are experiencing this problem, you have to throw away all your old big maps, because they almost certainly won't line up to the new grid setup.
On the plus side, it is now much easier to make really big joined maps. Once you get off the edge of the first big map, just make a new big map anywhere. You don't have to carefully count blocks out to the new center of the new map. It's a better system but now all our maps are outdated.
