MC-41359New maps will duplicate pre-existing map in the world.
In my world, I created the very first map and went traveling to map out the world. Once my dad and brother crafted their blank maps, they both made exact copies of mine, all named map #0. I expected their maps to be blank and that they would both have to go and cover ground/map things out themselves.
The map on the left in the first inventory slot is my original map. The map on the right in the ninth inventory slot is my brother's map. You can see that though both maps are selected, they are in fact identical.
Environment
I am running Java 6, Minecraft 1.7.2, and OSX Mavericks on a mid 2012 Macbook Air 13".

OH ok, I read it wrong the first time. So what you're saying is, you both made a map of the same exact spot (and area), but you actually ventured out to explore the map area, while they did nothing?
Here's what actually happens (I believe), when you create a map, you can see everything on it, but if a different account has the SAME map, they can only see what THEY explore. Are you all playing together? or sharing the same account? If there were 2 or more accounts, each account would see different maps. Does this make sense? I know its a lot to take in.
Actually, I didn't quite type that correctly on the bug tracker. When I say in the report that “they copied mine”, I actually meant that the maps turned into exact copies of mine. I had already made and mapped out MY territory. They came into the game later and crafted blank maps. As soon as they opened them, they just started loading exactly what my map showed, even though they live thousands of blocks away. Since they lived so far away, their maps should have started to render THEIR territory, and not what was on my map. (If that makes any sense)
Have a wonderful day,

That makes a lot of sense. This is definitely a bug that requires fixing. Good luck to the three of you and happy crafting.

I am having similar issue with most recent update. I have mapped most of the 25 map world (In this game I am in creative but have seen this in survival as well). Maps placed beside each other show as identical unless right next to map. In hand it shows as different, name is different, but in frame it shows as identical.
I am on xbox one, version 1.8.8 I believe (most recent update to system)
