			In the [[Minecraft:Java Edition Infdev 20100227-1414\|February 27th build of Infdev]], all generation past 33,554,432 blocks would be solid stone, extending vertically from the bottom of the world to the height limit, continuing out to the 32-bit limit. These are the first truly visible appearance of the '''[[Minecraft:Far Lands (Java Edition)\|Far Lands]]''', although very visually distinct from convention.

			== Structure ==
			What actually happens is, if the height limit is removed via mods, at that distance, the terrain rises to the 32-bit integer limit at Y: 2,147,483,647. The terrain on the top is near-normal but very flattened. However, due to the world height being set at 128 blocks, this never is seen normally and the terrain is cut off at that point still made out of stone, resulting in the unique appearance of the Far Lands during this time period.

			This stone wall may not always start at exactly 33,554,432 blocks out - it is not uncommon to see a rough, repetitive boundary at this point, visually resembling the ridges of a radiator or the fins of a heat sink, in a similar way to how the usual Far Lands can generate a few blocks earlier.
			On some seeds, the Far Lands don't have any rough appearance but are rather just smooth. Sometimes Far Lands on one axis can be smooth while on the other axis they're rough.

			While occurring at exactly a power of two, this is not a [[Minecraft:Java Edition hard limits\|hard limit]], but rather due to the [[Minecraft:noise generator]] settings for these versions themselves also being a power of two, returning this overflow point in the calculations can lead to lag or even a crash on the game.

			== Effects ==
			=== Distance effects ===
			{{Main\|Java Edition distance effects}}

			Walking to these Far Lands is impossible in normal gameplay as the game becomes unplayable well before this point due to a variety of distance effects. Even if a player could overcome the distance effects, beyond 16,777,216 blocks away blocks stop being solid (however, swimming in water is still possible), preventing the player from traveling any further.

			=== Intentional limits ===
			{{main\|World boundary}}
			In versions after [[Minecraft:Infdev 20100313]], a world boundary was added at X/Z: ±32,000,000. After the boundary at X/Z ±32,000,000 blocks, the terrain no longer generates, and only air blocks that have the same textures as the surrounding terrain generate.

			* The 32-bit integer limit. Here, multiple things happen:
			** World rendering breaks 128 blocks prior to the limit, at X/Z: ±2,147,483,519. This is easier to view in [[Minecraft:Infdev 20100313]] since chunk detachment makes it impossible to see properly in [[Minecraft:Infdev 20100227-1433]].
			*** As the player approaches this point, rendering will break initially at that chunk, before expanding outward beyond that point as one gets closer.
			** Terrain (and blocks) still continue to generate until one chunk prior, as such the player can simply walk off the map, however this doesn't cause the game to crash as most mechanics are using floats. Void generates outward from this point on.
			***However, going past the rendering limit and then attempting to cross back over it will end up freezing the game.
