Talk:Bedrock Edition Far Lands/Archive 2

--[User:Parameciumkid|Parameciumkid] 23:32, 4 April 2011 (EDT) I've added a short description of the Far Lands terrain at the "corners", but as I do not have the permissions to upload a file I need somebody to either insert my screenshot (http://helia.net63.net/mass_storage/Clipboard04.jpg) or one of their own.
 * Completely fleshed out Corner Far Lands description. --Ozzatron 00:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

This page needs a few additions. I hope to add pictures soon, but the more of you contribute the better, really. More information and anything else you can grab. There's always what the Far Lands used to look like during infdev. I started playing Minecraft during Alpha, so I wouldn't know.

 * I've been doing some research by using Single Player Commands to get farther in the map, and switching to vanilla to make sure it's correct information. I've added a screenshot, and will add more information soon. [[File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png]] 02:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I love what this page has become. Thanks. Can you post which level editor you used? --Jonnay 01:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I used Single Player Commands, which is a mod that allows in-game inventory editing, a /tele command, which was very useful for getting deep into the Far Lands and finding the right coordinates, worldedit, and much more. (It's a mod so it's not supported by notch, mojang, the minecraft forums, etc.) [[File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png]] 00:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd like to second Jonnay on this. This page didn't exist last month and now it's fleshed out and full of explanation.  Good job to all the contributors. Jaeil 03:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure who switched the size to 31% the size of the circumference of the Earth, but I'd like to know where you got your information. According to Notch, it's different, so now I'm just curious. --GmMkr 23:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem was the confusion between the chunk overwrite line and the beginning of the Far Lands. The chunks begin to overwrite at a distance about 25% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. The Far Lands start much, much sooner, and the distance to them is about 31% of the circumference of the Earth (which is roughly 40,000,000 meters). Comparatively, the Far Lands start at 0.008% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Ozzatron 23:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for clearing that up! --GmMkr 22:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Possible explanation for extreme lag
I've explored the Far Lands quite a bit and found out that there are hundreds of gravel items on each block at the bottom of the sea. I wonder if that's just the case for me or if it's the reason for the enormous lag when getting close to the Far Lands. It would also explain why the lag stops when you're there for some time. (5 minutes in theory, but more when actually playing due to the low frame rate) Defmenge 16:20, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Far Lands to Nether?
Just asking, what happens if the player goes from an area near or in the Far Lands on Earth to the Nether? Also, what happens if the player goes from the Far Lands in the Nether to Earth. Now that I think of it, this might just let players get deeper into the Far Lands.Combak 20:14, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Due to the 8x compression factor, going from the "real" Far Lands into the Nether wouldn't do anything interesting unless you were very far out, actually beyond the 32,000,000 mark. Anywhere in the Far Lands in the Nether would put you at LEAST 100,000,000 blocks out, so even if Minecraft doesn't crash you'll fall into the Void. --Ozzatron 23:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * On the subject of nether, does its far lands start and eight of the distance from earths far lands? Toadbert
 * No, it starts at the same coordinates as in the regular world. [[File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png]] 20:55, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

If we make a train on the Nether en then go on the normal word, the far lands won't take 820 hour to go but "only" 15 hour Gadevoi 18:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

= Edge of the world = Woudn't it be great that if you cross the far lands to the last block, it teleports you to the other edge of the map?
