Please help improve this page. The talk page may contain suggestions. Reason: Organize this page more like Java Edition distance effects - should allow a lot more in-depth analysis of each effect
As the player travels far from the world origin in Bedrock Edition, the world starts to behave abnormally. This is mostly caused by precision loss of the 32-bit floating point numbers used for location, which dedicates only 23 bits to the fraction; thus, for any position between n and 2n, where n is a power of 2, the precision error makes the world (including blocks and entities) offset by n⁄8388608 blocks, or n⁄524288 block pixels (e.g. at between 16777216 and 33554432, coordinates of all entities are multiples of 2, and only blocks at these coordinates can be rendered; blocks not at these values visually snap to them).

Bedrock Edition uses 32-bit floating points for many of its calculations, such as the player's position. When the player moves, the player changes position each tick, and this change is affected by floating point precision errors. At slow speeds/high coordinates, this change in position is considered negligible, meaning that the player does not move at all. The amount of precision error doubles at every power of 2.
Note that while the positions of the centers of entities are stored in NBT, the positions of the hitbox corners are stored in memory. If the player is crossing a power of 2, these corners may move at different speeds, thus changing the hitbox size. The hitbox size resets to 0.6 in certain situations, such as reloading the world, using the /tp command, and others.[more information needed] However, the player can shrink to size 0, making it possible to fall through the edges of blocks and into the void (MCPE-39299).
There are several ways to slow the player’s movement, such as sneaking, status effects, using an item (e.g. drawing back a bow), or certain blocks (such as cobwebs). In addition, moving diagonally decreases the player’s speed on any given axis. Moving with a solid block in front at slight diagonal causes the player to move sideways as slow as the player’s coordinates allow.
Coordinates
Effects
X/Z ±256 (28)
Coordinates of all entities are slices of 32,768.
Lowest coordinates at which anyone has fallen through the world, although incredibly unlikely at this distance. Since the glitch is caused by hitbox corners affected by different levels of floating point precision errors, it could theoretically happen at X/Z ±1. However, this would require nearly 6 real-life days of nonstop gameplay (where one must start over if they exit the game).[verify]
Sneaking in soul sand with a telescope stops movement.
X/Z ±524,288 (219)
Coordinates of all entities are slices of 16.
All entities are on the edges of block pixels.
Paintings are placed halfway inside the block, allowing multiple paintings to be placed on the same block.
The inner part of item frames render flush along the block.
Moving horizontally while on cobwebs becomes impossible.
Moving in Powder Snow becomes entirely impossible while sneaking.
Jitter is noticeable beyond this point.
Many mobs are unable to jump on blocks correctly.
Sea turtles and Axolotls can no longer move on land.
Major effects (X/Z ±1,048,576–16,777,215)
This section is missing information about the following features and effects:
Leads
Cave generation
Raycasting, which seems to result in incorrect blocks being targeted.
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Blocks are rendered based on their corners, whose coordinates are 32-bit floating point numbers. Generally, these are multiples of 1⁄16. Thus, most blocks render normally as long the floating points are precise to the nearest sixteenth. This breaks at X/Z ±1,048,576 (220), and blocks continue to render incorrectly as the coordinates go even farther out.[4]
In the RTX betas, the lighting is unaffected by floating-point precision errors, although block shapes themselves are incorrect.[5]
Besides, many "normal" forms of movement become impossible.
The different types of block model deformation have changed a lot over the years, although the update specifics and hardware requirements are unknown. Previously, blocks such as flowers and grass would appear completely 2D beyond 8,388,608 blocks, whereas they appeared as almost normal X shapes in more recent versions, but appearing as 2D again as of 1.16.220. Also, sunflower heads could previously distort to become square, which also no longer happens; the flower appears detached from the plant instead.
In addition here, the terrain starts to break down following the table.
Dropped items fall through the edges of blocks. Dropped items that land on the edges of lava bounce off without burning; this effect continues into the Stripe Lands.
It becomes extremely difficult to traverse the world on foot from here. Players need to use ender pearls, chorus fruit, elytra with fireworks or a Riptidetrident (if raining or underwater), horseback, boats, or any method that would be at least five blocks per second under normal conditions (the minimum speed possible from here is 10 blocks per second), meaning moving in normal walking speed is impossible.
One can travel on foot past 4,194,304 by jumping one time and sprinting.
One cannot jump normally. The Jump boost effect does not work. Stairs and slabs or blocks less than 0.5 blocks tall are work past this point.
Coordinates of all entities are slices of 2.
Entities less than 0.5 blocks wide (such as items and silverfish) fall through the edges of blocks, but can still stand on the centers. This is likely because the hitbox corners on both sides round to the same coordinates, resulting in a "null" hitbox; however, it is not confirmed.
Status effect particles snap to the center of the player, causing them to bunch around the center of the screen.
All stages of Amethyst Buds are stretched to a full block.
Coordinates of all entities are integers, comparable to slices of 536,870,912 in Java Edition, meaning that all entities are on the edges of blocks. As a result, the player, along with other entities less than 1 block wide, always falls through blocks. The only entities that can stand on blocks from this point onward are boats, spiders, horses, iron golems, polar bears, and ravagers.
If only one coordinate exceeds this value, blocks still have collision detection from the side.
The player can still be considered "under" blocks, meaning that phantoms do not spawn. Thus, it is theoretically possible to travel to and from the Far Lands in survival using horses.
To fly in creative the player must sprint or look directly along an axis, unless the player position is controlled by 64-bit doubles instead of 32-bit floats. The Speed effect does not work, due to MCPE-61425. In addition, flying at this coordinate is bumpy, even when the player is sprinting and looking directly along an axis.
All blocks that normally render as partial blocks are either stretched to become full blocks, or squished to become 2-dimensional. The exception is a few blocks that render normally no matter how far out the player travels, such as chests and bells.
If both coordinates exceed this value, partial blocks that normally render as 2D this far out become 1-dimensional and are therefore completely invisible.
The blade of a stonecutter duplicates, with each blade appearing on the edge.
Spore Blossoms are stretched so that the player only sees half of the flower.
Entering active End Portals becomes impossible.
Previously, cross models would render stretched out (changed from rendering 2D as of an unknown update), however as of 1.16.210 they render flat again.
This section is missing information about notable effects beyond the 32-bit limit, 64-bit limit and the 128-bit limit.
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Here, the rendering fundamentally break down to the point greatly where normal gameplay is completely impossible.
Coordinates
Effects
X/Z ±16,777,216 (224)
The floating point precision errors cause only blocks with even coordinates not divisible by 4 to render, and are stretched to 2 blocks wide. This phenomenon is known as the Stripe Lands. In contrast, the Stripe Lands starts at X/Z ±9,007,199,254,740,992 in Java Edition, as the block rendering coordinates use 64-bit doubles instead.
Some blocks at other coordinates can render 2-dimensional, but not if they would be rendered on the end of a double-length block. In general, blocks render only if they are "exposed" to air or another see-through block.
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 2, comparable to slices of 268,435,456 in Java Edition.
This does not impact the way maps are rendered.
2D blocks are non-solid, even from the sides. However, ghasts, large slimes, and large magma cubes treat both 2D and 3D blocks as solid because they are more than 2 blocks wide.
The game does not properly register when the player is in water if the player' coordinates are divisible by 4. As a result, the player falls through water, is unable to enter swimming, and the fog is black or dark blue. However, water still causes the player to exit gliding, and boats still float.
The only method of transportation possible is by elytra or by teleportation (an invisible barrier exists here).
X/Z ±33,554,432 (225)
Horizontal block rendering stops completely, leaving only vertical block rendering in its place, marking the start of the Slice Lands.[unofficial name] Blocks whose sides are not "exposed", such as the naturally-generated water, are completely invisible.
At this point, the slices are 4 blocks apart, but the gap widths double for every power of 2.
The phenomenon is known as the Stripe Gap Lands
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 4, comparable to slices of 134,217,728 in Java Edition.
It is difficult to place blocks from this point onward. The player must look at an existing block and extend it along an axis. The only way to generate blocks (to place on) without external tools is to use structure blocks.
Block rendering essentially stops completely in the Corner Slice Lands;[6] blocks are rendered as one-dimensional, and are therefore impossible to see.
Water becomes completely non-solid.
To move, the player must glide with elytra at a downward angle of approximately 45 degrees, or use Riptide. Note that because the player is not considered to be "in water", Riptide can be activated only by rain. Tridents and ender dragons are the only other entities that can move horizontally beyond this point. It is therefore impossible to teleport using ender pearls.
X/Z ±67,108,864 (226)
The only form of movement possible is with Riptide II or higher. It is also possible to teleport using chorus fruit.
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 8, comparable to slices of 67,108,864 in Java Edition.
The visual gaps are 8 blocks wide, thus marking the beginning of the Slice Gap Lands.
X/Z ±134,217,728 (227)
Maximum coordinates where generated structures can generate on mobile devices. However, on Windows, structures continue to generate all the way to the 32-bit integer limit.
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 16, comparable to slices of 33,554,332 in Java Edition.
The visual gaps are 16 blocks wide.
Riptide II can no longer move the player horizontally, and Riptide III works only if the player looks directly along an axis. However, it is still possible to teleport using chorus fruit.
X/Z ±268,435,456 (228)
It is impossible for any entity to move horizontally, without modifying the player's flying speed, or the player position is controlled by 64-bit doubles. Teleportation using chorus fruit is impossible.
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 32, comparable to slices of 16,777,216 in Java Edition.
The visual gaps are 32 blocks wide.
X/Z ±536,870,912 (229)
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 64, comparable to slices of 8,388,608 in Java Edition.
The visual gaps are 64 blocks wide.
A large "cone shape" in front of the player disappears from view. This cone is oriented along the X or Z axis, rather than the direction the player is facing. It is always composed of 16x16x16 cubes (essentially sections of chunks).
X/Z ±1,073,741,824 (230)
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 128, comparable to slices of 4,194,304 in Java Edition.
The visual gaps are 128 blocks wide.
The "cone" in front of the player widens. The world is completely invisible with a render distance of 16 chunks or less (unless the player position is controlled by 64-bit doubles), despite the fact that the gaps are only 8 chunks wide.
The game crashes near this point, as this is above the maximum signed binary integer allowed for 32-bit systems, such as C++. Specifically, the game crashes if the player attempts to load a chunk that is within 64 blocks of this limit, so increasing the render distance can crash the game.
X/Z ±2,147,483,648 (231)
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 256, comparable to slices of 2,097,152 in Java Edition.
X/Z ±4,294,967,296 (232)
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 512, comparable to slices of 1,048,576 in Java Edition.
X/Z ±70,368,744,177,664 (246)
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 8,388,608, comparable to slices of 64 in Java Edition, meaning that the coordinate jitter is starting to be more than the square root of the current coordinates.
X/Z ±4,503,599,627,370,496 (252)
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 536,870,912, comparable to all integers in Java Edition.
Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 1,099,511,627,776 (240), comparable to multiples of 2,048 in Java Edition.

Stripe Lands
The "Stripe Lands" at X/Z 16,777,216.
The Stripe Lands are an artifact of the game's rendering and block hitbox calculation, rather than a quirk relating directly to terrain generation.[7][8] The Stripe Lands starts at X/Z ±16,777,216, under the same terrain effects as Nothingness and Skygrid. They exist because coordinates are off by up to a full meter, causing the blocks themselves (not just their corners) to appear in the wrong places.
Past X/Z: ±33,554,432 all blocks are rendered as two-dimensional, and the gap between valid blocks doubles to 1 out of four. This gap doubles again at every power of 2 and reaches 128 blocks wide at X/Z: ±1,073,741,824. This is the widest the gaps can be since the game crashes near X/Z: ±2,147,483,648.

Vertical limits
This section is missing information about the 128-bit limit.
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Like the X and Z axes, the game breaks at excessive Y coordinates. Since blocks cannot be placed above Y=255, block rendering glitches do not occur, but other effects do.
Many of these effects would occur at negative coordinates, but there is a barrier at Y -40. Beyond this entities can move only vertically using the "fall through the world" glitch, or teleporting below Y -40. Thus the barrier can be avoided by teleporting past X/Z ±8,388,608. Also, all entities, except players in creative, disappear in the void.
