Journeyman-level cartographer villagers sell woodland explorer maps for 14 emeralds and a compass.

However, in Bedrock Edition, the cartographer trades for the map are unlocked, but the purchased map shows the same layout as in the corresponding dimension and shows no destination structure, but if cartographer trades are unlocked in an old world type (prior-1.11.0), the game stops ticking.

The maps differ from a normal map, in that it shows the areas land-water outline, as well as an orange striated (striped) texture for areas below sea level, and the blank map texture for land above sea level.

If the player icon is smaller than it would be on a normal map, that means the player is a great distance away.

When the player is less than 1027 blocks away from the map border, the icon returns to the proper size.

When the player reaches the maps area of land (512512), the map fills in like a normal map.

The buried treasure structure is located on the same X and Z coordinates as the middle of the X (the player marker may need to be aligned with the bottom of the middle 22 pixel square of the X).

To locate the chest spot, hold the treasure map with both hands, not in the offhand slot.

In Creative mode, cloned explorer maps can be obtained by pick blocking on the explorer map displayed on item frames (the map needs to be out of the player s inventory when using pick block, or else that map moves into the active hotbar slot).

Its map item entry is identical to that of a normal map, except that by the time the player sees it, its colors byte array is pre-filled with explorer maps characteristic land-water boundary lines and water shading.

In this case, they are localized strings: either translate:filledmap.monument, translate:filledmap.mansion or translate:filledmap.buriedtreasure.

Explorer maps always have at least one representing their target.

Woodland explorer maps can now be bought from fletcher villagers.

Also, if two cartographers unlock the explorer map trades approximately at the same place and at the same time, the map locations are usually identical.

This sometimes also happens when finding multiple treasure maps from ocean ruins.

As a result, explorer maps, unfortunately, dont always guarantee that a structure exists at the purported location.

This is most common with woodland mansion explorer maps, due to its generation algorithm.
