The Cartographer is a villager profession in Minecraft that specializes in trading maps and other exploration-related items. It uses the Cartography Table as its job site block, which allows unemployed villagers to take on the profession when placed nearby.

Trades include paper, compasses, and empty maps, as well as unique Explorer Maps that lead to structures such as Woodland Mansions and Ocean Monuments, making them valuable for players seeking rare loot and new locations.

They progress through five levels—Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Master—unlocking better trades as they gain experience. They can be leveled up by trading emeralds, paper, glass panes, and compasses.

Cartographers can be zombified and cured to reduce trade costs, making them useful in trading halls. They spawn naturally in villages but can also be assigned the profession by placing a Cartography Table near an unemployed villager.
