For the sake of consistency, and to reach a situation that makes sense for the future of Minecraft, we are making some changes to what shows up on maps. There of course were other super weird situations too, like placing a brewing stand on top of a stained glass block on top of iron bars on top of a trapdoor on top of a fence on top of a beacon on top of air, and nothing would show on the map at all. Others were either simply missing a map color (and thus did not show up) or had a map color and showed when they should not have. Some blocks only showed if there was a solid block immediately below them. Before 1.13, maps would sometimes not get the proper top block and we ended up with weird situations that really don't make much sense but became The Way Things Are™.

Does everything show up? Only solid blocks? Partially solid blocks?Īt their core, maps rely on heightmap logic to determine every top block in the world. Hello everyone!
