Open ```NBTExplorer``` and go to ```savegame \u003e data \u003e map_x.dat \u003e data```.\n2.  Double click on ```colors``` and export to a suitable location.\n3.  Drag and drop the map file into ```cartographer.exe```.\n4.  A PNG file should be created in the same directory as the map file.\n\n**Using console**\n1.  Open ```NBTExplorer``` and go to ```savegame \u003e data \u003e map_x.dat \u003e data```.\n2.  Double click on ```colors``` and export to a suitable location.\n3.  Open ```cartographer.exe``` and enter the full path to the map (e.g. C://directory/map).\n4.  A PNG file should be created in the same folder as cartographer.exe.\n\n### Converting an image into a map\n**Using drag and drop**\n1.  Drag and drop the desired image into ```cartographer.exe```.\n2.  A file should be created in the same directory as the image file ```imagename_map```.\n3.  Open ```NBTExplorer``` and got to ```savegame \u003e data \u003e map_x.dat \u003e data```.\n4.  Double click on ```colors``` and import ```imagename_map```.\n5.  Set ```locked``` to ```1``` and ```trackingPosition``` to ```0```.\n6.  Save changes.\n\n**Using console**\n1.  Open ```cartographer.exe``` and enter the full path to the image (e.g. C://directory/image.png).\n2.  You will be asked to select a dithering mode. Enter ```0``` for ```ordered``` or ```1``` for ```Floyd-Steinberg```.\n3.  A PNG file should be created in the same directory as the map titled ```imagename_map```.\n4.  Open ```NBTExplorer``` and got to ```savegame \u003e data \u003e map_x.dat \u003e data```.\n5.  Double click on ```colors``` and import ```imagename_map```.\n6.  Set ```locked``` to ```1``` and ```trackingPosition``` to ```0```.\n7.
