Map markers are entities exclusive to the Bedrock Editor.

Map markers do not spawn naturally. Found only in Bedrock Editor, spawn eggs exist in the spawn egg group in the Creative inventory. They can also be summoned using the /summon command.

• Map Marker: Continues rotating counterclockwise. At this time, triggers the particle “editor:selected_marker”.
  
• Location Pointer Selected: Continues rotating slowly counterclockwise.
  
• Location Pointer Idle: No particular behavior.
  
• Ruler Pointer Selected: No special behavior.
  
• Ruler Idle: No special behavior.

In Bedrock Editor, it is used as a marker when using tools.

In the official Capture the Flag test server, map markers can be seen without using Bedrock Editor.
