Using a Big Integer [[Minecraft:mod]], it is possible to remove the hard world border so a player can travel outwards indefinitely. This allows for a version of the Far Lands to be seen at 1.8 septillion blocks out.

These Far Lands look different from the solid wall at 12,550,824. Biome blending begins to break down, stretching the terrain. Further out, elevation begins to break down too, making the terrain solid.

The Far Lands do not disintegrate into the Fringe Lands and then into a bedrock ocean like they would pre-1.14, instead the terrain completely stops generating at extreme large distances and a infinite [[Minecraft:ocean]] of [[Minecraft:water]]/[[Minecraft:lava]] generates. Due to how 1.18 changed terrain, bedrock disappears along with the terrain due to bedrock being a part of world generation instead of being a separate layer like [[Minecraft:water]]/[[Minecraft:lava]], this is why the nether Far Lands roof generates with layers of bedrock missing.

The Far Lands comprise a very, very wide array of terrain generation bugs. The effects vary depending on which noise generator breaks (for traditional Far Lands, "low noise" and "high noise" are jointly responsible), as well as the player's distance on each axis (the "Edge Far Lands" refer to when noise breaks on only one axis, the "Corner Far Lands" on two, and the "Vertex Far Lands" on three).

Other noise generators are capable of breaking down. Selector noise, a noise generator which determines whether low noise or high noise is used at a given position in the world, breaks down 80 times further than low and high noise by default, giving rise to what is known as the "Farther Lands".

=== Walking to the Far Lands ===
=== Walking to the Far Lands ===
Walking to the Far Lands is the time-consuming challenge involving a terrestrial journey 12.5M blocks out of spawn. The most common version used is b1.7.3 as this is the last version to contain the Far Lands and has the conveniences such as beds that some previous versions don't have.
Walking to the Far Lands is a time-consuming challenge involving a terrestrial journey {{abbr|c.|circa}} 12.5 million blocks out of the world spawn. The most common version used among players is [[Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.7.3|Beta 1.7.3]], as it is the last version to contain the Far Lands and has the conveniences such as [[Minecraft:bed]]s that other previous versions do not have.


Over 30 players have attempted the feat legitimately, with about 1/3 completing the journey, 1/3 currently walking (as of October 2023) and 1/3 having gone inactive (including one real life death, TinfoilChef). The first player to complete the journey (without using the [[Minecraft:Nether]] as a means of shortcut) was KilloCrazyMan between 2019-20. [[Minecraft:Notch]] awarded him $6,000 through two separate donations. The most famous is Far Lands or Bust with KurtJMac, through which he helped raise over $500,000 for various charities over the course of 14 years.<ref name=":0">[https://premiumminecraft.com/people-who-reached-the-far-lands-rewritten-updated-oct-2023/ <nowiki>The Far Lands Walkers 2 | COMPLETE LIST 2023 [30+ players] – Premium Minecraft Blog</nowiki>]</ref> KurtJMac completed his journey to the Far Lands on October 4th, 2025.
Over +35 players have attempted the feat legitimately as of 2024,<ref name="the far lands walkers list">{{cite|url=https://premiumminecraft.com/people-who-reached-the-far-lands-rewritten-updated-oct-2023/|title=The Far Lands Walkers 2 &vert; COMPLETE LIST 2024 [30+ players]|website=Premium Minecraft Blog|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260404171042/https://premiumminecraft.com/people-who-reached-the-far-lands-rewritten-updated-oct-2023/}}</ref> with about {{frac|1|3}} having completed the journey, {{frac|1|2}} currently in progress, and {{frac|1|6}} having gone inactive (including one real life death, TinfoilChef).<ref>{{tweet|wabbedu|1558483091357896709|I’m not sure how to tell you all, but sadly @tinfoilchef passed away this morning. He will be missed|August 13, 2022}}</ref>


Time-wise, the walking (not sprinting) speed is 4.3 blocks per second. Walking for 6 hours per day is equal to 21,600 seconds, giving a travelled distance of 92,880 blocks every day. Walking to the 12.5M Far Lands would take just under 136 days at this pace.
The first player to complete the journey (without using [[Minecraft:the Nether]] as a means of shortcut) was KilloCrazyMan in June 2020.<ref>{{ytl|VAvQ_kT73W4|Killo's Journey To The Far Lands - Grand Finale|KilloCrazyMan|June 19, 2020}}</ref> [[Minecraft:Notch]] awarded him $6,000 through two separate donations, as a result of the feat.<ref>{{ytl|VAvQ_kT73W4|Killo's Journey To The Far Lands - Grand Finale @ 13m20s|t=800s}}</ref> The most widenly known example comes from KurtJMac's {{w|Far Lands or Bust}} series, through which he helped raise over $530,000 USD for charity over the course of 14 years.<ref>{{cite|url=https://farlandsorbust.com/charity.html|title=Charity Fundraising at Far Lands or Bust - An expedition in search of adventure, exploration, and for charity!|website=farlandsorbust.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260502171349/https://farlandsorbust.com/charity.html}}</ref> KurtJMac completed his journey to the Far Lands on October 4, 2025.<ref>{{ytl|fOS10VEgpuk|FLoB-a-Thon 2025 - Day 69 - "THE FAR LANDS"|Far Lands or Bust with KurtJMac|October 5, 2025}}</ref> In May 2, 2026, KurtJMac was featured in a short documentary video on ''Minecraft''{{'}}s [[Minecraft:YouTube]] channel.<ref>{{ytl|T82Ex9ZImhQ|He Walked in Minecraft for 14 YEARS|Minecraft|May 2, 2026}}</ref>


Furthermore, two people, Xelanater, and qSav, have reached the Nether Far Lands legitimately.<ref name=":0" />
3 players have attempted walking to the Nether Far Lands legitimately, with Xelanater being the first to have completed the journey in June 2022,<ref>{{ytl|6yY3QrlBv1o|Reaching the Nether Far Lands {{=}}{{=}} UMP 2221|Xelanater Ellevanox|June 18, 2022}}</ref> and about {{frac|2|3}} having succeeded, while {{frac|1|3}} having gone inactive.<ref name="the far lands walkers list"/>
 
Time-wise, the walking (not sprinting) speed is 4.3 blocks per second. Walking for 6 hours per day is equal to 21,600 seconds, giving a traveled distance of 92,880 blocks every day. Walking to the 12.5 million Far Lands would take just under 136 days at this rate.

Template:Move Template:Outdated feature Template:Infobox structure Template:Relevant tutorial The far lands,<ref>Template:Tweet</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> also spelled farlands<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> was a terrain generation bug and a hard world boundary that appeared when Minecraft:noise generators responsible for terrain shape malfunctioned due to Template:W. It resulted in massive, spongy walls of terrain appearing around 12,550,821 blocks from the Minecraft:world spawn. The far lands looked like regular terrain that was pulled and stretched apart, with layers of Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:dirt, and other Minecraft:blocks forming fragmented formations.

The insides of the Far Lands were long dark tunnels, with sharp edges and extreme landscapes. The top and corners of the Far Lands were mostly flat, filled with Minecraft:trees and occasionally Minecraft:villages Template:Only. At around 1,004,065,811 blocks from spawn, the noise generation further broke down and produced even more stretched terrain, often being called the "Farther Lands".

The Far Lands were fixed in Minecraft:Beta 1.8 Pre-release, and an intentional Minecraft:world border was placed more than twice as far as the former hard boundary on Minecraft:Java Edition 1.8. The Far Lands retain a legacy as one of the franchise's most famous Minecraft:glitches, and are referenced in official games such as Minecraft: Story Mode and Minecraft:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Smooth biome blending begins to break down.

Using a Big Integer Minecraft:mod, it is possible to remove the hard world border so that a player can travel outwards indefinitely. This allows for a version of the Far Lands to be seen at 1.8 septillion blocks out.

These Far Lands look different from the solid wall at 12,550,824. Biome blending begins to break down, stretching the terrain. Further out, elevation begins to break down too, making the terrain solid.

The Far Lands do not disintegrate into the Fringe Lands and then into a bedrock ocean like they would pre-1.14; instead the terrain completely stops generating at extreme large distances, and a infinite Minecraft:ocean of Minecraft:water/Minecraft:lava generates. Due to how 1.18 changed terrain, bedrock disappears along with the terrain due to bedrock being a part of world generation instead of being a separate layer like Minecraft:water/Minecraft:lava, this is why the Nether Far Lands roof generates with layers of bedrock missing.

The End Far Lands are affected by the End ring glitch generating in slices.

Types of Far Lands

The Far Lands comprise a very wide array of terrain generation bugs. The effects vary depending on which noise generator breaks (for traditional Far Lands, "low noise" and "high noise" are jointly responsible), as well as the player's distance on each axis (the "Edge Far Lands" refer to when noise breaks on only one axis, the "Corner Far Lands" on two, and the "Vertex Far Lands" on three).

Other noise generators are capable of breaking down. Selector noise, a noise generator which determines whether low noise or high noise is used at a given position in the world, breaks down 80 times further than low and high noise by default, giving rise to what is known as the "Farther Lands".

A full list of Template:El noise generators known to break down and give rise to their own unique effects is as follows. Note that it assumes that the X and Z axes are identical, and ignores the Y axis; in many cases, the Y axis has a different value from the X and Z axes, whereas in other cases the noise generator is entirely 2D.

Walking to the Far Lands

Walking to the Far Lands is a time-consuming challenge involving a terrestrial journey Template:Abbr 12.5 million blocks out of the world spawn. The most common version used among players is Beta 1.7.3, as it is the last version to contain the Far Lands and has the conveniences such as Minecraft:beds that other previous versions do not have.

Over +35 players have attempted the feat legitimately as of 2024,<ref name="the far lands walkers list">Template:Cite</ref> with about Template:Frac having completed the journey, Template:Frac currently in progress, and Template:Frac having gone inactive (including one real life death, TinfoilChef).<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

The first player to complete the journey (without using Minecraft:the Nether as a means of shortcut) was KilloCrazyMan in June 2020.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> Minecraft:Notch awarded him $6,000 through two separate donations, as a result of the feat.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> The most widenly known example comes from KurtJMac's Template:W series, through which he helped raise over $530,000 USD for charity over the course of 14 years.<ref>Template:Cite</ref> KurtJMac completed his journey to the Far Lands on October 4, 2025.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> In May 2, 2026, KurtJMac was featured in a short documentary video on MinecraftTemplate:'s Minecraft:YouTube channel.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>

3 players have attempted walking to the Nether Far Lands legitimately, with Xelanater being the first to have completed the journey in June 2022,<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> and about Template:Frac having succeeded, while Template:Frac having gone inactive.<ref name="the far lands walkers list"/>

Time-wise, the walking (not sprinting) speed is 4.3 blocks per second. Walking for 6 hours per day is equal to 21,600 seconds, giving a traveled distance of 92,880 blocks every day. Walking to the 12.5 million Far Lands would take just under 136 days at this rate.
