Players can always choose a more suitable spot to make artwork using maps, although only a small percentage of the player base does this. Also, that isn’t what maps are primarily for. The vast majority of players (that this bug affects) use maps for their intended purpose. It’s a huge inconvenience and a bummer to have a map that misrepresents the terrain. It doesn’t convey the information it’s supposed to, and it doesn’t help players navigate to the desired destination, since the area isn’t even distinguishable on the map.
I understand that fixing this would be difficult, time consuming, and a lot of work, but we should agree that maps shouldn’t work this way. Hopefully, if we agree, this will encourage Mojang to add the issue to their workflow, fix it at some point and give the players more accurate maps.
