The Far Lands (Java) were a terrain bug that occurred in versions of Minecraft up to Beta 1.7.3. They were caused by errors in the math that governs terrain generation, resulting in abnormal structures resembling excessively stretched-out terrain.

The X/Z Far Lands were fixed in Beta 1.8 Pre-release, so they do not exist without modifications to Minecraft. In addition, most of the distance effects were fixed. The Y Far Lands (aka the Sky Far Lands) were overlooked, but cannot be created in Vanilla 1.13 and above, due to the 'temporary' removal of customized world generation. The -Y Far Lands (also known as the Void Far Lands) are similar.

Technical

The Far Lands (Java Edition) were a terrain generation bug that occurred at ±12,550,824 along the X and Z-axes prior to Beta 1.8, as well as the Y-axis (technically) before Java 1.13.

The Far Lands generate because of an integer overflow error within Minecraft. The noise generator that draws Minecraft's height map increases by 171.103 for every block, causing an integer overflow at approximately ±12550824 (sometimes ±12550821.) Multiplying the aforementioned numbers results in the 32-bit signed integer max value, which when overflowed, results in an extreme noise seed.

Location

On the X and Z axes, the Far Lands and Farther Lands initiate as they did in Beta 1.7 and below (±12550824), with an identical chance of offset at positive positions. However, due to the new height limits, they are actually 256 blocks tall, instead of 128. There is a world border at the 32-bit integer limit (2,147,483,647), which crashes the game upon approaching.

On the Y-axis, the Far Lands initiate at around twice the former number, which is therefore ±25,101,648. Since blocks cannot exist above y=256 or below y=0 in the vanilla game, to observe the Far Lands in their natural place, mods such as the Cubic Chunks mod must be used to allow terrain to generate in such positions.

The Farther Lands also generate at ±2,008,131,840 on the Y-axis, however, they cannot be generated without lowering the selector noise period.

Structure

File:Edges.png

The edge Far Lands and corner Far Lands, as well as their Farther variations, generate relatively identically to their pre-Beta 1.8 counterparts, but utilizing the entire height limit, causing them to generate all the way up to y=256, or in the case of infinitely high worlds as seen in the case of mods, until they reach the sky Far Lands at y=+25,101,648 (and equivalently the void Far Lands at y=-25,101,648).

The Fartherer and Farthest Lands exist in vanilla worlds, but are impossible to access without using manipulated customized world presets that set noise periods ridiculously low (coordinate scale extremely high).[1]

In words with the Far Lands and Farther Lands re-enabled using mods, the Fartherer and Farthest Lands seem to either not exist (vanilla), or a temporary steep incline generates where they would usually start but drops off later (with Forge 1.12.2).

Far Lands

Sky Far Lands

This section describes content that exists only in outdated versions of Minecraft. 
The Customized world type was removed in 1.13, so the Sky Far Lands can no longer be generated without mods.
Far lands on Y

The Far Lands generating on an unmodded modern custom world, before 1.13. A high coordinate scale was also used to generate this, resulting in repetitive terrain.

The Far Lands generate at positive values of the Y-axis past y=25,101,648. Monoliths generate up to this point if the player can get them to generate.

Void Far Lands

Negativeylands

The Far Lands generating underground on a modded world.

The Far Lands generate at negative values of the Y-axis past y=-25,101,648.

These do not seem to be obtainable without using mods in the same way as the Sky Far Lands.

Since every air block outside of caves and other generated structures is replaced with water below y=63, the void Far Lands are filled with water.

Vertex Far Lands

When the Sky or Void Far Lands meet with the vanilla Corner Far Lands, many interesting terrain features can be sighted. The content of these intersections appears to vary throughout worlds, with some being completely blank, some completely solid, and some generating like regular Far Lands material. In some cases, exciting diagonal patterns with large absent chunks generate.[2]

Depth noise far lands

Like low/high and selector noise which respectively control the Far/Fartherer and Farther/Farthest Lands, depth noise can be made to overflow at a given position. By default, it overflows at 42,949,672.96 blocks. Due to the Far Lands initiating before it, the overflow in depth noise is effectively impossible to see. However, if depth noise is made to overflow before tradition far lands, achievable by pushing the far lands farther out than this distance or moving the depth noise far lands closer, the effects can be seen: immediately as it overflows, the terrain will jump up a few blocks. Terrain after this point is slightly more boring than before due to depth noise controlling subtle variation, which no longer exists after the overflow due to it almost always being at the max possible value. Every so often, very long "rifts" characteristic of depth noise far lands can be seen, which extend for extremely long. These rifts end once they hit the point twice the distance of the first overflow, and rifts as a whole past this point do not seem to be able to come into existence. Rifts have also only been noted on the positive X axis, and are yet to be found on the Z axis.

The Fartherer Lands

Like the Farther Lands, at about ±4,294,967,296 times further from the initiation first set, the third set of Far Lands (furtherer from Far Lands, henceforth named "Fartherer Lands", alternatively "Furtherer Lands") generates once X/Z coordinates reach ±53,905,378,846,979,747 blocks away. Fartherer Lands generates well past the chunk overwrite limit (X/Z: >±34,359,738,368) and the block rendering limit (X/Z: >±2,147,483,647), thus it is impossible to see Fartherer Lands in game without modifying the noise scale.

The Fartherer Lands, without occlusion from any previous sets of Far Lands, generates a terrain that are stretched out to the extent that they are thinner and flatter than the Farther Lands, similar to transitioning Far Lands in Bedrock Edition. Due to how Fartherer Lands generates their terrain, the lands are reduced into flat panels, cuboids and strips of blocks (which was generating into some extent in Farther Lands, but exacerbated in Fartherer Lands). Because of this, Fartherer Lands marks the end of "Swiss cheese" terrain (solid wall and infinite tunnels) of both Far Lands and the Farther Lands.[3]

Corner Fartherer Lands are differentiated from the Corner Farther Lands that the space between layers is larger than both Corner Far Lands and Corner Farther Lands, and the boundary between Edge and Corner Fartherer Lands are smooth in comparison to the boundary between Edge and Corner Farther Lands.[4][5]

The Farthest Lands

These generate 80 times farther away than the Fartherer Lands, when X/Z coordinates reach ±4,312,430,307,758,379,832 and are a result of selector noise overflowing at the 64 bit limit. Like the Fartherer Lands, it is not possible to see The Farthest Lands in game without modifying the noise scale.

Experimentation with 1.12.2 Customized worlds (by multiplying the default 684.412 noise scale with 2^32, and then with 80 to cause them to show up at the regular Far Lands distance of 12550824.023) shows minimal, but still noticeable differences between the Fartherer and Farthest Lands. From these observations, the most noticeable difference between the Fartherer Lands and the Farthest Lands is that Farthest Lands generate highly repetitive terrain (especially in the Corner Farthest Lands, where the terrain repeats itself as you move further out), similar to Bedrock Edition Edge Far Lands past X/Z +6,275,412.[6][7]

Another noticeable difference between the Fartherer Lands and the Farthest Lands is that Farthest Lands are considered to be unstable, and in some cases failed to generate, leaving only the ocean and the bedrock layer, like the Nothingness of the Bedrock Edition Far Lands.[8] For example, in a customized world preset, Farthest Lands begins to "disappear" from the topmost layer into bedrock layer (and disappears more slowly closer to the boundary of the Edge variations) as it moves away from the center of the world. Also in the same preset, the Farthest Lands appears to be different between +X/+Z, +X/-Z, -X/+Z and -X/-Z coordinates, one of which failed to generate.[9] As such, Farthest Lands stands out in comparison of previous sets of Far Lands, which generates more stable terrain.

Effects

While completely unrelated to terrain, these effects occur coincidentally with Far Lands due to their shared extreme distances and are worth noting as a result.

Floating-point precision errors with entities and particles

Even in modern versions of Minecraft, the floating-point precision errors still exist, but only with translucent block rendering, natural snow generation and snowfall at extreme heights.

Darkness

In vanilla Minecraft 1.14, the lighting system ceases to work beyond 2^25 (X/Z ±33,554,432)[10] (though this distance is available only via editing source codes), however, it isn't like what would happen beyond X/Z=32,000,000 in older versions. Instead, everything abruptly becomes absolutely dark and ignores light sources. By pressing F3, it shows that the sky light level is 0, thus undead mobs do not burn when exposed to the sky. The chunks, however, are still solid and block physics still function. Night Vision can help to counteract the visual darkness; it is currently unknown whether the Conduit Power effect works or not.

Explanation

Main article: /Pre-Beta 1.8 § Explanation

The Far Lands happen for much the same reason as they used to. As 64-bit overflowing has not been patched, its breaking can be calculated by replacing 2^31 in calculations with 2^63. A table of useful values are as follows.

'''Feathers''' are items dropped by [[chicken]]s and [[parrot]]s, as well as tamed [[cats]] as morning gifts.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

Adult [[chicken]]s drop 0–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 with Looting III.

[[Parrot]]s drop 1–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III.

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding a feather, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, causing the fox to drop the feather in favor of the food.

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|feather}}

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a "morning gift", and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a feather.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
<div style='float:right'></div>
While a feather cannot be equipped in the head slot in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear completely upright unlike other items.

}} '''Cocoa beans''' are items obtained from cocoa pods and are used to plant them, as well as to craft [[dye|brown dye]] and [[cookie|cookies]].

'''Cocoa pods''' are [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] [[plant]]s placed on [[Log|jungle log]] sides that grow cocoa beans, and can be found naturally in [[Jungle|jungles]].

==Obtaining==
In ''Java Edition'', cocoa beans are only obtained through the natural generation of cocoa pods, while in ''Bedrock Edition'', they can also be gotten in bonus chests, from [[fishing]] inside the jungle, bamboo jungle and sparse jungle biomes and during a [[trading]] with a wandering trader.

Cocoa beans come from cocoa pods, which are found on the trunks of normal-sized naturally-generated [[jungle tree]]s in [[jungle]], [[bamboo jungle]]s and [[sparse jungle]] temperate [[biome]]s.

Cocoa pods can be mined with any item, but [[axe]]s are the quickest. Fully grown cocoa pods drop 3 cocoa beans. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune does not increase the amount of cocoa beans dropped.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cocoa|Axe|sword=1|link=none}}
The block itself can be obtained by inventory editing or [[add-on]]s {{in|bedrock}}.

From one to two cocoa beans can be found in 40% of bonus [[chest]]s {{in|bedrock}}.
{{LootChestItem|cocoa-beans}}

Cocoa beans can be obtained from [[fishing]] in a jungle {{in|bedrock}}.

[[Wandering trader]]s may sell 3 cocoa beans for an [[emerald]] during a [[trading]] {{in|bedrock}}.

==Usage==
===Farming===
{{main|Tutorials/Cocoa bean farming}}
Placing cocoa beans on the side of a jungle [[log]] plants a new cocoa pod. The log does not need to be attached to a tree. A cocoa pod can be placed on jungle logs, jungle [[wood]], stripped jungle logs and stripped jungle wood.
[[File:Cocoaplant farm.png|thumb|left|A somewhat efficient cocoa pod farm, minimizing space and wood use.]]
Cocoa has three stages of growth. During its first stage, the pod is small and green. In the second stage, the plant is bigger and colored tan. In its last stage, the pod is even larger and orange. The cocoa block has a 20% chance to grow a stage when receiving a [[Tick#Random tick|random tick]], giving it an average time of 5 minutes and 41 seconds per stage. When destroyed in the first two stages, the pod yields only one cocoa bean. When destroyed in the third stage, it gives 3 cocoa beans. [[Bone meal]] can be used to force the cocoa pod forward by one growth stage. Cocoa pods burst and drop their beans when struck by flowing water, pushed by a piston or if their [[log]] or wood are removed by any means.

===Composting===
Placing cocoa beans into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. {{IN|bedrock}}, cocoa beans are accepted as a direct substitute of brown dye in many recipes.

===Crafting ingredient===

'''Elytra''' ({{Audio|ElytraPronunciation.mp3|/ˈɛl ɪ trə/|link2=''ᴇʟ-i-trə''}}<ref>“Elytron.” ''Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary'', Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elytron. Accessed 22 May. 2022.</ref>)<!--"Elytra" is the plural of "elytron," a single half of a beetle's protective wing covers. Verbs should agree accordingly (e.g. "Elytra allow flight"). https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elytron--> are rare wings found in [[end ship]]s that are a source of flight in [[Survival]] mode.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Elytra are found only in [[end city|end cities]] in [[item frame|item frames]] in the treasure room of the [[end ship]]. A [[shulker]] guards the elytra and the ship's two loot chests.

=== Repairing ===

Elytra can be enchanted with [[Mending]] so that they get [[Item repair|repaired]] as the player collects [[experience]] orbs while wearing/holding them.

Elytra can also be repaired in the player crafting grid, by combining two damaged pairs of elytra together. 

{{crafting

|ignoreusage=1
|Damaged Elytra
|Damaged Elytra
|Output= Elytra
|description= The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, but removes any enchantments.
|type= Transportation
}}

Similarly, two damaged elytra pairs can be combined on a [[grindstone]].

{{Grinding

|ingredients=2x Damaged [[Elytra]]
|Damaged Elytra
|Damaged Elytra
|Elytra
|description=The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, but removes any enchantments.
}}

Elytra can also be repaired at an anvil using [[phantom membrane]]s, which has the advantage that it preserves [[enchantments]] on elytra. Each phantom membrane restores 108 durability points, exactly 25% of the elytra's total durability. 

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Repairing elytra"

| style="width: 260px; padding: 1px;" | {{Anvil| title = Elytra|Input1=Damaged Elytra|Input2=Phantom Membrane, 2|Output=Elytra}}
|-
|}
Each repair on the anvil, however, also increases the [[Anvil mechanics|prior work]] penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive and eventually reaching an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive" (even if the player has many xp levels to spare). However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone. Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.

== Usage ==
[[File:Steve in elytra.png|75px]] [[File:Alex in elytra.png|75px]]

Elytra are equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot, either by placing the item directly in the slot, by pressing {{ctrl|use item}} while [[hotbar|held in hand]], or by firing a point-blank [[dispenser]] at a target. They are gray in color by default, but they adopt the design of any [[cape]] the player is wearing. They maintain their in-world texture design even when they're [[#Repair|broken]] or [[enchanted]].

=== Flying ===
To fly, the player must press the {{ctrl|jump}} key while falling, and the elytra spread apart like a beetle's elytra. The player can aim their view around to turn or adjust their pitch. Losing altitude increases speed, and gaining altitude decreases speed. [[Firework rocket]]s can be used to increase speed. Additionally, speed is quickly lost from sharp changes in direction.

Directly hitting any surface while gliding too fast causes damage to the player and their armor proportional to flight speed (although this may be calculated from another factor). When a player dies in this way, they receive the [[death messages|death message]] "'''<player> experienced kinetic energy'''". The player does not take [[fall damage]] from colliding at a shallow angle or a low enough speed. The critical, damaging angle is about 50° with the collision surface, and the calculation for damage seems to be as if the player had fallen from their maximum potential glide height to the height of the struck surface. 

A safe and simple cruise with the highest travel distance can be achieved by aiming directly at the horizon while at the glide's altitude limit. The player's speed is slow enough to allow them time to do other things during a long flight, like sort out their inventory.

In [[Creative]] mode or when the "mayfly" [[ability]] has been given, the player can alternatively hold the {{ctrl|jump}} key to fly up,{{only|bedrock}} or double press the jump key to move around freely. 

Flight can be stopped by pressing the [[jump]] key.{{only|bedrock}} 

==== Speed and altitude ====
Elytra have a minimum speed of about 7.2 m/s (obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a strong upward pitch of 30°). If the diver drops to 0 speed, they quickly get accelerated back up to at least this minimum. The diver can increase speed by choosing to descend faster, but afterward, they do not regain nearly as much altitude. In the real world, drag increases with speed, and drag, in turn, slows the aircraft; Minecraft mimics this. To glide from cliff to cliff, a player's best bet is to aim slightly above the horizon.

Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed. Quicker turns cause greater losses, while gentle movements have small effects. Making a hairpin turn can actually be used for making high-speed landings safe as well as for precise landings on small targets like rooftops. The player aims to glide just above the target, then as they're right over it they immediately reverse directions, then they make readjustments as necessary.

The lowest rate of altitude loss is about 1.5 m/sec, obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a slight upward pitch (12° or 15°).

To get the best possible glide ratio (and thus the furthest distance out of their altitude), the diver pilot should aim directly at the horizon. This ratio is about 9.47 to 1.

[[Slow Falling]] potions greatly decrease the player's vertical (fall) speed, which also greatly decreases their ''horizontal'' speed (clearly, it depends on the vertical fall rate, as one might expect from flight modeling). The net result is that the player flies extremely slowly - but their Elytra still takes durability damage at the usual rate (1 durability per second without Unbreaking, etc.). Due to this combination, Elytra plus Slow Falling is largely a novelty that most players won't use. The [[Feather Falling]] enchantment does not affect Elytra speed and does not reduce fall damage from hitting things with elytra.

It is possible to calculate the glide range by dividing the altitude by tan of the glide angle (altitude/tan(glide angle)). For example, if the player glides from an altitude of 64 blocks above ground with a glide angle of 15 degrees, they can glide for 237 blocks (assume that they are on superflat), since floor(64 / tan(15)) is 237.

==== Stalling ====
Trying for too high a pitch reduces the player's lift. At a pitch of 30° above the horizon, the player has the lowest possible airspeed of 7.2 m/sec. Above that, the player might be considered to be in a stall. Increasing the pitch gets closer to a free-fall, and stalled flight at 60° is enough to cause fall damage. Stalling at 90° is a true free-fall.

Recovering from a stall is done by readjusting to any safe pitch as quickly as the player likes. This can be just changing to look at the horizon.

==== Powered flight ====
{{fakeImage|{{invSprite|Firework Rocket}}|Firework rockets are used for speed boosts while gliding.}}

[[Firework rocket]]s can be used for propulsion during flight by placing it in either hand and {{ctrl|using}}. Using a firework rocket while gliding quickly maximizes the player's speed for a time similar to the rocket's flight duration.

If the rocket is equipped with [[firework star]]s, it explodes at the end of its flight, inflicting damage based on the number of stars.

It is possible to gain altitude during powered flight. This makes it possible to glide for extreme distances and had been used extensively by [[far lands]]/[[World Border]] challenges.

=== Durability and Repair ===
{{fakeImage|{{invSprite|Broken Elytra}}|A broken pair of elytra.}}

[[Durability]] decreases by one point each second when gliding. A pair of elytra has 432 durability, allowing 7 minutes and 12 seconds of gliding time without enchantments, providing more than 10,000 blocks of transport distance. It is possible to apply the [[Unbreaking]] enchantment using an [[anvil]] and an [[enchanted book]], which affects the elytra, in the same way it does to [[tool]]s. Unbreaking III increases elytra's flight time to about four seconds per durability point, a total of 28 minutes and 44 seconds.

When the durability reaches 1, elytra stop working until they are repaired, adopting a tattered texture in the inventory. The damage ends at durability 1, so they can never fully break. A pair may be repaired by either using the [[Mending]] enchantment, combining two pairs in a [[grindstone]], or combining it in an anvil with [[phantom membrane]]s. In an anvil, each piece of membrane repairs elytra by 108 durability points, requiring 4 pieces to fully repair them.

Each repair on the anvil will also increase the [[Anvil mechanics|prior work]] penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive, with an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive". However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone (by adding nothing to it). Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.

=== Enchantments ===
Elytra can receive the following [[enchantments]] by combining in an anvil:

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* The singular form of elytra is an {{w|elytron}}.
* In reality, elytra are not used for flight. They are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that cover the wings they actually use for flight. However, like ''Minecraft'' elytra, in beetles they can be used for gliding.
* A flying player has a shorter hitbox than usual: A 0.6 block cube centered on the player's feet.
* It is possible to glide while on a [[ladder]], by pressing {{key|shift}} followed by {{key|space}}, causing the player to fall with a speed determined by the player's visual angle. This means that the player can descend fast on a ladder, but if the speed is too fast when hitting the ground, they can take fatal fall damage. Using a [[firework rocket]] can also speed up the player's descent. 
* {{IN|java}} if the player glides into deep [[water]] with elytra equipped, the animation does not stop, giving it the appearance of a [[swimming]] animation.<ref name="MC-97190">{{bug|MC-97190||While gliding into water or lava, player continues gliding|WAI}}</ref> The animation stops once the player touches the ground. Additionally, [[firework rocket]]s can be used with elytra underwater with a short boost duration.
* Elytra do not deactivate when the player flies into [[lava]].<ref name="MC-97190"/>
* Elytra can be equipped onto some [[mob]]s using [[command]]s. This has no effect unless the mob has the {{cd|FallFlying}} tag set to {{cd|1b}}. Mobs glide forward, unable to control the movement before landing, at which time they regain their AI. 
** Exceptions to this are [[squid]]s as the squid's AI causes it to attempt swimming in midair, making it fall straight down because it conflicts with the elytra mechanics.
**Because [[chicken]]s fall slowly, they can move more distance.
** [[Enderman|Endermen]], tamed [[wolf|wolves]] and tamed [[cat]]s that are not sitting cannot teleport until they hit the ground.
** Because mobs do not regain control until they hit the ground, [[vex]]es fall until they die or despawn as they cannot touch the ground. 
** Mobs capable of flying, such as [[parrot]]s or vexes can steer in air, though they cannot travel up or down. Dolphins also have this ability.
* [[4J Studios]] created an elytron-centered tutorial map for console edition when elytra were first introduced to this platform, this map is themed as "ruins of an ancient civilization of ''[[Minecraft]]'' worshipers" and showcases the new amplified terrain generation. This map can be seen behind the scenes.<ref>{{Mcnet|learning-fly|Learning To Fly}}</ref> On 28 March 2017, 4J Studios added an elytron-themed [[Mini Games]] for console edition called "Glide;" it consists of Time Attack and Score Attack mode.<ref>{{Mcnet|glide-mini-game-consoles-tomorrow|Glide Mini Game on Consoles Tomorrow|March 23, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Mcnet|mini-game-masters-glide-console|Mini Game Masters Glide onto Console|March 28, 2017}}</ref>
* A player who jumps with both elytra and the [[Slow Falling]] effect travels slightly upward, which is a cheap but time-consuming alternative to [[fireworks]] and [[Riptide]]-enchanted [[trident]]s.
* On May 5, 2019, [[Mojang]] tweeted '[[The End]] never yields enough adequate resources, sadly,' along with a sad emoji.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1125053038757068802|The End never yields enough adequate resources, sadly. 😔}}</ref> The first letter of each word spells 'T E n y e a r s' (Ten Years). Attached was a picture of [[player|Steve and Alex]] wearing both a [[chestplate]] and elytra. The next day, they tweeted, "Have you noticed something ''suspic10us'' here lately?"<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1125415169495064576|Have you noticed something suspic10us here lately?}}</ref>
* Mojang has considered the suggestion of combining elytra with a chestplate, but eventually decided against it, stating that elytra taking up armor is an intentional decision of game balancing.<ref>

18w06aRemoved customized worlds. Thus, the Sky Far Lands, Fartherer Lands, and Farthest Lands can no longer be created without modifications.

Trivia

The End

The End was implemented after the Far Lands were removed, meaning that the End Far Lands never generated naturally. However, if the Far Lands were re-added through modifications prior to 1.9, the End Far Lands would generate. Obsidian pillars would appear throughout the Far Lands. In more recent versions, end cities and chorus trees are generated.

"It is also worth noting that the Far Lands terrain itself is not due to improper float casts, but rather due to integer overflow (a double value is cast to an int; the fix casts it to a long and ANDs it with 16777215 to limit the value before casting (which could also be 255 since the noise only has 256 steps)."u/TheMasterCaver on Reddit, November 5, 2018
