Minecraft Update 1.6.6: Maps and Hatches

 
    On May 26, 2011 Mojang released Minecraft version 1.6.6. With this update came the addition of maps and hatches to the game.

    A map allows you to view just over 651 square miles. A map is crafted with eight units of paper and a compass. When first created, the map is blank. In order to fill in the map you must explore the surrounding area first.


    The hatch works exactly like a
door except that it opens straight up; a hatch only takes one block of space whereas a regular door takes two. A hatch can only be crafted at a crafting table. The recipe requires six wooden planks and creates two hatches. When placing a hatch make sure that you are facing the direction you want it to open.
