Ever wondered how to keep your precious Minecraft map safe from changes? Whether you’re showcasing an epic build or keeping track of your adventures, locking your map is the way to go. Let’s dive into how to lock a map in Minecraft, making sure your masterpiece stays just the way you want it.

So, you want to freeze your Minecraft map in time, keeping it immune to further alterations? You’ve come to the right place for answers.

Quick and Easy Steps to Lock a Map

Locking a map in Minecraft is simpler than building a castle. First, you’ll need a cartography table. If you don’t have one, it’s a quick craft: four planks of any wood and two pieces of paper on top. Boom, you’ve got your table.

Next, place the map you wish to lock in the first slot of the cartography table, and a glass pane in the second slot. Hit the resulting locked map item to pick it up, and voilà! Your map is locked, safe from any further changes. This way, whether you’re mapping out your next big project or capturing the layout of your current build, it’ll stay preserved forever (or until you decide otherwise).
