Your player marked in maps that are in Item Frames

This is very simple, once you place a map on an item frame, it should not still display your player. As it is now, you place any map on an item frame and it still shows you on the map and it does not change, meaning once you're marked on that spot it will not change depending on your actual location. So a quick fix would just be to remove the marker of yourself when you place a map on an item frame. This problem isn't game-breaking, it's just a nice quality of life improvement. Here's a picture to show how it looks now. Doesn't look that good, does it? Simply just removing that green marker would make it way nicer.

    This is actually intended and a great feature. That marker is NOT the player, it is the location of the map itself, within the area that it is displaying.

    Do not remove this marker.

    Honestly, this is a good feature as is, put a map on every nether portal in the world and there's an instant map for navigating/waypointing large distances

    Not only that there's already a way to 'remove' this marker from the map anyway, simply make the map without a compas in the first place, no player location while you're making it and no green map location icon once it's placed, it's kinda makes it useless as a map if you can't see where you are on it especially at larger scales but if you want wall art it's fine

    I kind of want a way to follow/see players using maps in itemframes, it'd be good to have a sense of who's in the world and where they're working

    As we have banners that allow us to create a "you are here" position, there's no need for the marker to indicate this as standard.

    Bedrock version doesnt allow the use of banners to mark the map so this is useful for this
