I was out walking to place item frames in villages with maps in them so that I could locate the villages from the copy of these maps which I held in my inventory. So I placed an item frame in the first village and attached a copy of my existing map to the item frame and at this point there were no problems. I walked on to the next village where I would place my second item frame with another copy of my existing map. I reached the 2nd village and placed an item frame and attached a copy of my existing map to it. Here is where the problem (BUG) started. I left the 2nd village and noticed that the white marker indicating my position was completly gone on the map I was holding which was another copy of the two that I had placed in the two villages. So I tried to resolve this by moving back to the 2nd village and removing the item frame there with the map in it. When I did this the green markers was still present on the copy that I held (like reported bug After that I made more copies of my map to check if the white marker would show up on them but it didn't. Instead the green markers were still present on all the copies of this map that is, even the marker that I had removed in the 2nd village by removing the item frame. Exactly like bug What I had expected to happen was that when I placed one or more copies of my map in item frames I would see green markers on the copy which I held and of course also my own location (the white marker). And again what happened was that the white marker disappeared on my map after placing two item frames with copies of my map. Additional bug was (1. Refers to the image attachment: bug.png)(This image file has been edited in Windows Paint in order to better explain the bug) When I logged in again both green markers was gone and the white marker had come back. (2. Refers to the image attachment: 2012-12-02_13.57.04.png) I logged in again and I went to the first village to remove the remaining item frame. I removed it and went for home and I opened the stack of copied maps but now the green marker was still present after removing the last item frame from the first village. (3. Refers to the image attachment: 2012-12-02_14.59.54.png) I logged in again a fourth time and then as expected the green marker was gone (marking the first village) (4.

Still present in 14w30c. The player arrows are rendered underneath the filled area of the map so they are hidden. If you get to the edge of the map, you can sometimes see the white arrow peeking out from underneath. This is present in multiplayer as well as single player. In my experience, this has nothing to do with how many maps are in item frames. I have created 4 copies of my map and placed only one on the wall in an item frame, and the bug still happens. |

This still happens in 1.7.9. I am on a minecraft realms server and nobody's maps are working anymore. This probably calls for a server reset to fix, but it hinders map exploration when you can't see your location on the map. Edit: I think that multiplayer should be added to this issue, as nobody's map on my server is working properly right now, presumably due to this item frame issue. |

Still happens on 1.7.8/14w11b and is very annoying. Its fairly easy to reproduce: 1. Start a creative world and create a map. Make 3 clones of it (total nr of the same map is now 4). I think I have seen this happen with only 3 total markers, but I don't know why its sometimes 3 and sometimes 4. Perhaps its if you share the map with someone else. Because then you'll have 2 white markers and will reach a total of 4 with just 2 green markers. Restarting the server can fix this temporarily because it removes green markers that are out of range, bringing the total of markers below 4 again. But if you get within range of them and they're added to the map and you reach 2-3 green markers, you risk having the bug reappear. If you knock the maps out of the item frames so the total number of markers goes below 4 again (e.g 1 player marker, 2 green), you get your white marker back. |

I have tested this in 14w05b. It seems like things are a bit better now – the behaviour seems more predictable – when up to four markers are to be displayed on the map (including all item frames and all players holding the map), everything is ok (in 1.7.4 the problems used to appear even if only one or two markers where shown). But the fifth marker to be displayed won't show – if another player gets a copy of the map, or the map is placed in another item frame, the new marker won't be visible. Additionally the map previously installed on an item frame by one player won't be visible by the other player (maps disappearing from the item frames seem related to the markers disappearing from the map). When more than four markers are displayed then it is not longer obvious which four will be visible – this changes when players pick-up, drop or install the map copies on item frames. The bug still may be quite annoying. |

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w05b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

Confirmed in 1.7.4. Can this please be updated? EDIT: Thanks. |

Problem still exists in 1.7.3. And it seems to me like |

I confirm that the bug is still present in 1.7.2 I have two clones of the same map in frames, third in my inventory (and two more in chests). |

Still present in 1.7.2, tested in multiplayer: Attempts to see the white arrow below the map failed. |

I can confirm this is still present in 1.6.2. Player pointers disappear on cloned maps. Cloning maps sometimes makes the pointer appear below the map image. |

still happens in 1.6.1 [i'm using the biggest scale maps, 1 pix-chunk] |

It's really bugging me that this is still happening even after 4+ months. I don't care of there are duplicates of this because even the originals aren't really being fixed. |

Seems like this goes back to Issues with copied maps losing locations [green arrows] and player positions [white arrows] are still happening. |

In 13w50a this happens. The white cursor seems to be 'behind' the map; if you find the white cursor to be missing, go off-map, and the white dot will move with your location – but the green or blue of the map will overlap it. |

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

One last comment... I'm sorry but I will not update this any further as I'm not employed by Mojang. Might sound rude but I just wanna play Minecraft in a bug free environment and haven't got the energy or the time to put into this. Hope it gets resolved =) |

I logged in once again and now the green markers that was supposed to indicate the villages was no longer present even though that there is maps hanging in item frames at those two locations. The white marker was present yet again though. I'll add a picture attachment to this comment. This picture is named [12-12-04_15.05.59.png] and isn't part of the original bug description. |

Uhm I went back to my home to put up item frames again and again place copies of this map. When I did the white marker disappeared again and so I went to check if the bug would be the same as I went into uncharted territory and the uncharted territory became visible territory but I couldn't see the white marker at any time. I will add a sixth picture attachment to better explain this comment. This picture is named [2012-12-04_14.50.52.png] and isn't part of the bug description. |

I've been out trying to see if the bug is the same as I will add a fifth picture to describe what I said in this comment. The comment picture is named [2012-12-04_14.22.25.png] and isn't part of the bug description. You can see the green markers tip on the fourth location but that's it. |

The arrow might be hidden below the map, please take a closer look at |

Sorry but I don't get it. How can it be hidden below the map? |

Could you please check if the marker is hidden below the map like in |

I can confirm something very similar, placed map in item frame on multiplayer server, removed it (somehow got mutiple copies) and the map no longer functioned, no position indicator, and it would NOT fill in areas that were unexplored. |
