How to Craft Cartography Table in Minecraft
The Cartography Table clones, extends and locks maps. It is the job site block for cartographer villagers.
Overview
The Cartography Table clones, extends and locks maps. It is the job site block for cartographer villagers. Cartography Table uses a shaped recipe, meaning the ingredients must sit in the exact pattern shown in the grid above; placing them in the wrong cells will not produce the item. A Crafting Table gives you the full 3x3 grid, which you need for any recipe larger than 2x2. You can craft one from four planks, and most bases keep one near the furnaces.
The recipe was added in Minecraft 1.14 and still works the same way in version 1.21. Each craft yields a single Cartography Table.
The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with paper (craft from sugar cane) and planks (craft from logs). If any of those are not already in your stores, gather them first, because the craft itself takes only a moment once everything is in the grid. With the ingredients on hand and a Crafting Table placed, Cartography Table is one of the quicker things to add to your inventory.
Crafting Recipe
Materials Needed
To make Cartography Table you will gather 2x Paper (craft from sugar cane) and 4x Planks (craft from logs). Lining these up before you open the Crafting Table saves a trip back to storage, especially if you plan to craft several at once.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Open your Crafting Table to access the 3x3 crafting grid.
- Arrange the ingredients in the crafting grid following the pattern shown above.
- Place Paper in: row 1, column 1; row 1, column 2; row 2, column 1; row 2, column 2; row 3, column 1; row 3, column 2.
- Collect your Cartography Table from the output slot.
Tips & Notes
- If the output slot stays empty, double-check the pattern against the grid above; a shaped recipe fails silently when even one ingredient is in the wrong cell.
