Their information is placed in the "data" directory within the world`s save directory. Each map has its own file associated with its ID, and there is one file that keeps track of the highest (= most recently created) map ID. This is limited to the size of a short (32,768).

Color table
Maps use a color table to store the colors efficiently by ID.
Base colors
Blocks are colored according to their material. Each material has a base color which is multiplied by 180, 220 or 255, and then divided by 255 to make the map color. Each base color below is associated with four map colors - to get the first map color ID for a base color, multiply the base color ID by 4.
Map colors
Each base color above has 4 associated map colors below. The conversion works by multiplying each of the red, green, and blue values by a value and then dividing by 255, finally rounding to the nearest whole. As of weekly snapshot 13w42b, the fourth base color variant is now multiplied by 135, providing a darker set of colors rather than just a clone of the second base color variant.
Map Color ID | Multiply R,G,B By |
---|---|
Base Color ID*4 + 0 | 180 |
Base Color ID*4 + 1 | 220 |
Base Color ID*4 + 2 | 255 (same color) |
Base Color ID*4 + 3 | 135 |
Map Pixel Art
People have used the map to create pixel art. The default map has an image size of 128x128 and will read each block as a specific color. By placing blocks in a specific arrangement, it is possible to create pixel art images.
Methods for creating map pixel art is either flat, or staircase. With the flat method, you have 36 colors to work with and is a lot easier to create an image. With the staircase, you have 108 colors and is a lot more difficult to work with. For the staircase method, blocks are placed at different elevations to obtain the extra 2/3 of the colors. By placing a block higher or lower then the block north of it, or topside of the map, you can create a brighter or darker shade then the normal flat color.
With the flat method, the colors used is the 2nd shade of each color group can be used on the lists below. For the staircase method, the first 3 shades of the colors groups below. The 4th shade can not be obtained in traditional gameplay, but with the use of an external tool.
