Map markers are entities exclusive to the Bedrock Editor.

Spawning

Map markers do not spawn naturally. Found only in Bedrock Editor, spawn eggs exist in the spawn egg group in the Creative inventory. They can also be summoned using the /summon command.

Behavior

  • Map Marker: Continues rotating counterclockwise. At this time, triggers the particle “editor:selected_marker”.
  • Location Pointer Selected: Continues rotating slowly counterclockwise.
  • Location Pointer Idle: No particular behavior.
  • Ruler Pointer Selected: No special behavior.
  • Ruler Idle: No special behavior.

All map markers are affected by gravity, and can take damage and die, such as when the player punches them.

Usage

In Bedrock Editor, it is used as a marker when using tools.

Official server

In the official Capture the Flag test server, map markers can be seen without using Bedrock Editor.
