How to Make Transparent Map Art in Minecraft

[@cgoose500]

They should add a Vanilla version of invisible item frames. They could make it so that they're only invisible when there's something in them, so you don't accidentally forget that one's been placed somewhere.

[@Shouhi]

I've seen a suggestion to make phantom membranes make them transparent. Would definitely be neat

Glass item frames

[@llamadrama1090]

@@Shouhi so membrane instead of leather?

[@FundamSrijan]

Exactly my idea

[@elrondforwin]

@@reddst yeah, a quark feature :)

[@CraftyMasterman]

transparent map art finally making the rounds

[@Shouhi]

I first posted about it on reddit in 2021 haha, just now getting around to making a video on it

[@iamsushi1056]

One time I had 3000 ping or so (about 3 seconds delay), and accidentally made a map as I was teleporting back to my home warp. It’s completely blank, and it just makes the item frame texture bigger. It’s super fun to mess with my friends’ heads with it.

[@Shouhi]

There's probably some pretty cool details you can add with just something simple like that tho!

[@opal9583]

They should sooooo make invisible map art in vanilla!

[@Shouhi]

It's almost vanilla at least! Even if you don't have invisible item frames, you can still make some neat things with it

[@zawdan606]

Fullmetal Alchemist reference was evil. But the great video is great!

[@Shouhi]

@zawdan606 the transmutation circle map with glowing item frames looks so good though :P

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

Incredible video, Shouhi. Looking forward to seeing your next upload. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your explanation of transparent map art was fascinating. Have you considered exploring how this technique could be adapted for larger builds or other creative uses within different biomes?

[@Shouhi]

It'd be awesome to incorporate it into larger builds but the downside is it can get pretty laggy depending on your PC. But things you can do with it for example are adding window frames to glass, drapes, timber frames, etc. Depends on your build style! If you're patient you can add "new blocks" and new ore types for different biomes, although you wouldn't be able to actually mine them. Might be cool from a worldbuilding perspective, if you're able to make like a "tin ore" map and make a tin mining site in a different biome.

[@Shouhi]

Special shoutout to the Dominion SMP server and its members for allowing me to showcase some of their maps!

[@CaptSeaWalker]

Thats awesome! Thanks for the tips.

[@Shouhi]

No problem Capt! It's pretty useful for interiors if you've got the patience for it lol

[@candlekinn]

This is great, seems so obvious in hindsight, going to use this to great effect in my own world, thanks!

[@Shouhi]

Works great on servers or long term worlds, glad it helped!

[@Meh]

128 views with such a video quality??? no wayyy, u got a new sub, looking forward to your new vids!

[@Shouhi]

Haha well I normally make survival videos, so this is new for me. But thanks!

4:21 There is a pixel in the border of the block U FORGOT TO REMOVE A BLOCK

[@TotalThomasMan]

Gonna have to try this sometime!

[@Shouhi]

It's a bit tedious in survival but definitely fun to come up with interesting designs

[@paille-boy]

someone def gonna recreate balatro in minecraft

[@BinaryWhale]

Buccee's FTW lolololololololol

[@BobBarnabas]

its 2:30 am. I already know how to make transparent map art. what am I doing here?

[@Shouhi]

Here for the good times ofc

[@spewngbullsht]

Dallasmed56 gonna be pissed this isn’t in bedrock 😂

[@Shouhi]

His newspaper mapart would definitely be easier to make 🤣

[@JuniorGamer783]

I paused the video made the platform in the end, come back to the video only to hear "sorry bedrock players this just doesn't work for you" 😭

[@Shouhi]

💀 Hopefully, you didn't do it in survival..

[@amaryllis0]

Data packs and commands _are_ "100% true vanilla". All vanilla means is unmodded, base release, part of the official game. Not survival-friendly.

[@Shouhi]

That's fair, I mostly play survival and people have told me it's not vanilla, so that's what I thought. But that does make sense!

[@annaisannaing]

1:44 Hehe 🏳️‍⚧️-parent map art

[@DwarfComic]

Dominion server rejected my whitelist! ah well, their loss. Not that cool of a server Shouhi 😂

[@Shouhi]

Ah it's worth a shot to reapply! They should typically provide a reason for denial, I think most of the time they want some more thought out answers

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Clickbait, :( I wish you could do it in survival.

[@Shouhi]

Well, it doesn't say survival in the title. If you don't want to use commands or datapacks, you can still make neat things with it, but the item frame will be visible

[@ZoofyZoof]

Zero clickbait
