When creating a large map wall, it is extremely difficult to get maps to line up. Since maps are now created at zoom level 3 map walls that need zoom level 1 can not be created easily. Using shears on a map only allows for the lower right quadrant to be zoomed in, which means that the map has to be created in the exact spot that allows for zooming in and connection which is far too much math for the average Minecraft player to figure out.

Returning the original map creation at the lowest zoom level would fix the main issue. Also when using zooming in the placement of the shears in the crafting table compared to the map could make maps more controllable when zooming.

Thank you for your time, sorry for the large blocks of text.
