Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a regular map into a 3D display?

Place a filled map into an item frame, then sneak and right-click the frame to open the settings menu. Toggle the 3D mode on, and the terrain will immediately rise out from the frame showing height and depth.

Can I have some maps in 3D and others in 2D at the same time?

Yes, each item frame stores its own settings independently. You can set one frame to 3D mode and leave another in 2D mode, or mix and match however you want in the same room.

What does the Y-level setting do?

The Y-level setting controls where the 3D terrain model starts vertically. Adjusting it lets you focus on different heights of your world—useful for highlighting mountains, caves, or specific terrain layers.

My frames are lagging when I have multiple 3D maps. How do I fix this?

Open the settings menu and select a lower quality or performance preset. You can also disable 3D rendering globally if needed, or reduce the number of active 3D maps in one area.
