 Description   

Put the summary of the bug you're having here

What I expected to happen was...:
I would start in the center of the map and it would be filled in as I explored

What actually happened was...:
The map completely filled in from left to right and showed I was on the edge of the map. (I think it just loaded the chunk I was in)
Maps put in a chest and retrieved later are blank but still show player position and movement but do not fill in with terrain.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create map using compass and paper
2. Hold map in hand
3. Right click with map in hand.

"Resolution: Works As Intended"

Comment by Wendy Garvin [ 03/Jun/13 ]

This is still a problem in 1.5.2 - maps don't start centered on player location, and don't update as they're filled in. It doesn't happen every time - I believe it may have been caused by not letting the map populate the first time I looked at it. I have a working example of a failed map in 1.5.2 if you'd like to contact me for details.

Oh, I didn't knew about the alteration on centering.

Comment by Daedalus Young [ 30/Oct/12 ]

The default zoom level of a map is now 1:1, so 1 pixel is 1 block. So you probably get a lot filled in on 1st use.
Maps are no longer centered on the player when created, instead, they're now aligned to a grid, to allow for tiling of multiple maps.
