Minecraft – How do the names for the maps in Minecraft work

minecraft-java-edition

For my minecraft SMP server, my friends and I were crafting maps and noticed the difference in the names of the maps. so how does the map naming system work?

Example:
Map_0, Map_1

Best Answer

The first map created is map_0, the second created is map_1, the third created is map_2, and so on, up to map_65535. Note that each time you zoom out "one" map, it actually creates a new map with a new map name.

Aside, you can give your maps more memorable names by renaming them in the anvil.
