New Explorer Maps!

Currently, Ancient Cities and Trail Ruins are very hard to find, just like Ocean Monuments and Woodland Mansions. Ocean Monuments and Woodland Mansions have explorer maps, so why can’t the other two. These two new explorer maps could be sold by the cartographer just like the other two, and would lead to the general location of the structures. They could be called “Archeology Explorer Map” for the Trail Ruins, and “Dark Explorer Map” for the ancient city. I think these would be very useful for people.

    There is one problem with this: Both of these structures are underground. This could be remedied by having the maps be found in dungeons or strongholds, like how treasure maps are found in shipwrecks, so that the maps are ancient and show what it was supposed to be before the ground swallowed it. For the ancient city, maybe better to just not have a map at all.

    These are ancient structures, so it's likely that villagers don't know about them, hence no maps. Also, ancient cities are supposed to be rare, but there is a sure method of finding them.

    Trail ruins are partially exposed (on Java Edition), so cartographers could get maps for those. I’d also like to see desert and jungle temple explorer maps somewhere, since hot biomes can be hard to find depending on your starting biome.
