Far Lands

The Far Lands is a terrain generation bug that appears when the noise generators responsible for creating the shape of terrain stop functioning properly. This results in a large, spongy wall of terrain appearing around 12,550,821 blocks from the origin of the Minecraft world.

Currently, across all currently-developed editions, the Far Lands only occur either in older versions of the game or via modding to remove the patches which prevent them from occurring.

The Far Lands still retain a legacy as one of the franchise's most famous glitches, even being referenced in other official games such as Minecraft: Story Mode and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

General information
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).

One player known as KilloCrazyMan is known to have walked to the Far Lands in vanilla Minecraft, beginning the journey in September 2019 and reaching them nine months later in June 2020. Upon arrival, a USD$10,000 donation from Notch was awarded to him for his efforts.

In, the Far Lands were first introduced with the infinite terrain generation in 0.9.0 alpha, and were removed in 1.17.30 (beta 1.17.20.20).
