Jungle Explorer Map in villager trading

Jungle Explorer Map is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.

Jungle Explorer Map is generated against your current world, pointing toward the nearest matching structure. It is created the moment you trade for it, so two players receive maps to different locations.

The jungle explorer map is a desert, savanna or swamp trade: no other cartographer offers it, whatever its tier.

A villager's type is the biome it spawned in, so this is settled before you ever meet it. Read out of merchant_predicate in each trade's own file. How that check works.

The 1 trade on this item was read out of the trade files Minecraft Java 26.2 ships in its own data, checked on against the item, both amounts and the use limit. Bedrock 1.26.30.5 is read as well, and where it disagrees the row says how. Which files, and what is not checked.

Your odds of finding Jungle Explorer Map

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades jungle explorer map is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the cartographer (apprentice): 25% of them carry it, so it takes about 4 of them on average before one does.

The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

How Jungle Explorer Map trading works

Every jungle explorer map offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.

The earliest jungle explorer map shows up is the Cartographer's Apprentice tier, level 2 of five, which a villager reaches at 10 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 1 tier short of offering jungle explorer map at all.

How long Jungle Explorer Map takes in real time

12 jungle explorer maps empty one slot at the Cartographer, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.

So one cartographer moves 24 jungle explorer maps against 192 emeralds a Minecraft day, a jungle explorer map every 50 real seconds, 9.6 emeralds a real minute. 27 jungle explorer maps take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the cartographer walk back to its cartography table.
