	** Due to the terrain rendering limit at X/Z 2,147,483,519 blocks, the maximum distance that this glitch can be noticed is X/Z 2,146,959,360. If the player manages to perform this glitch beyond X/Z 32,000,000, any generated trees, flowers, and other similar features begin to decay, but the block remains frozen in place. As such, because X/Z: ±16,777,216 is inside the Far Lands, this coordinate is the first instance of "normal" terrain generating ''inside'' the Far Lands (and the only point where it can be interacted with like in normal gameplay), continuing up until the 32-bit limit.

While made completely unobservable due to blocks also being 32-bit integers, exceeding this limit should cause chunks from the exact opposite overflow point to begin loading.

			* The gaps between chunks start to become multiple blocks long, making the world look like stripes on one axis and a grid pattern on both axis. This only occurs in the February 27th build, as many parts were changed to not use floats for precision starting in the March 13th build.
