Creative 1 maps not working?

[bagofeggs]

I'm building a fantasy city, and I'd like to make maps to construct a map wall, but when I try to fill a map, the item itself switches, but the map where I should be able to see everything in is completely blank. I tried putting it in an item frame to see if it would correct itself, but it just made the frame big, like it does when you usually put a map in... but minus the map, like it was invisible.
Is this a bug? or was this done on purpose due to lag? Will this get fixed?
Thank you so much!!

If i’m correct i think the map always makes the item frame bigger. It’s for doing what you want to do, making a huge map of your plot. If you add all of your maps in the item frames the maps will conjoin together to make one giant map.

i saw this too!! it comes up in chat that maps are disabled whenever i try :/

oh yeah i don’t really play creative, but if it says they’re disabled then you just can’t use them.
