MC-228943Maps become blank when upgrading to 1.17
One of my saves was in 1.16.5. I upgraded to 1.17, but I noticed that my massive map wall was blank. You can still interact with the maps as if they were there (you can hear them turning), but nothing is there. I tried making a new map from scratch, but it came out blank as well. I converted back to 1.16.5 to see if that fixed it, but it did not. All of this is in creative mode.

Whoops, looks like I misunderstood you. You mean a map from 1.16.5 broke when you updated. That's being tracked here: MC-228943
Sorry about that

Seems very similar to MC-228943 but I'm unsure whether it's the same.
Do these steps solve your issue?
MC-179858...orIf you have optifine, that is probably the issue. Its currently really buggy.
I haven't run Optifine in years. Just plain ole vanilla.
To anyone who's experiencing this issue, could you please provide a world backup from before you updated the world to 1.17? Thanks!
I tried but my backup is too large
You could upload it to Google Drive, Mega, Mediafire or other such services that provide cloud storage and comment the link here.
Whole world backup is probably not needed for now. Could you just send contents of `data` directory (more specifically, `map_*.dat` files?
