Badlands FarLands — Badlands Version of the Far Lands

A view of the inner edge of the Far Lands.

The Far Lands are a dangerous place, both for players (due to lots of darkness, hostile mobs and falls) and the device Minecraft runs on. Simply, if you want to go to this place, here is how to reach it and lessen the lag.

How to attain [ ]

In the Java editions of Minecraft, the Far Lands can but be found in versions from Infdev 2010/03/27 (though they existed in previous versions, the world became non-solid one-half-way to the far lands, which made it impossible to reach without teleporting) to Beta 1.vii.iii. They first generating near the coordinates of ±12,550,821 on X and Z axes. Given that ane block's side is one meter long, the distance to the Far Lands from the world'due south center of coordinates can be measured as about 12,551 km (7844 mi). At that place is no conventional manner of using Creative or commands to quickly attain this huge distance, since they didn't exist in these quondam versions, except for multiplayer. Instead, the different methods listed below are used. There is besides a glitch in 1.12 where if you lot /tp <role player name> 12550700 90 0, exit earlier you hit the ground, load the world in beta i.7.three, you will be 124 blocks short of the far lands, this is a very easy way to reach information technology if you don't have the unmarried player commands mod.

Directly by the Overworld [ ]

Just walking in the Overworld towards whatever direction (positive or negative X and/or Z axis) is the near time-consuming way; reaching the Far Lands from the globe center would have 9 months of overall Minecraft gameplay. Yet, information technology is safer than walking in the Nether and doesn't require items difficult to obtain. Crafting a bed earlier starting the long journeying is recommended; sleeping in it before the night falls completely will avoid the annoyance of hostile mobs in the fashion. Crafting a handful of boats will also assistance crossing big h2o bodies. Pay attention to heights and avoid falling from them. Since hunger was not present prior to Beta i.8, y'all won't demand much food just but enough to restore your health in case of you lot losing it by falling or being hit merely if you are on creative the fastest manner to reach information technology is past flying and sprinting toward the same direction for Minecraft: Coffee Edition and with elytra and fireworks on Minecraft: Pocket Edition

Past the Nether [ ]

Walking one block in the Nether is equal to walking eight blocks in the Overworld. Thus, by traveling through the Nether, it is possible to reach the Overworld Far Lands in just over a week. However, since the Under is a rather dangerous dimension and many different items are required to construct a under portal, it will take yous a considerable time of fiddling Minecraft play in society to obtain fabric and proper equipment.

When finally in the Nether and adequately protected, the role player must travel a few meg blocks in the X and/or Z axis. It won't be and so far every bit in the Overworld, but it volition all the same exist a long trip. Some other portal will be required to exit the Nether, so, before proceeding, it is recommended to mine all the obsidian blocks of the portal and take them with you in gild to lately reconstruct the portal. Apparently, flint and steel must besides be taken.

The Nether is a very dangerous identify, so be very aware of mobs, lava, fire and loftier heights all around, and bring equally much every bit food as you can to restore your health later on the likely unfortunate events that will happen in your style. When the sufficient distance (run into below) is finally reached, using the rebuilt portal will place the thespian near or in the Far Lands.

The nether portal in the Under must be placed no further than at Ten/Z of ±four,000,000, because beyond that point, the portal would attempt to teleport the thespian to coordinates beyond X/Z of ±32,000,000, which is the limit on the world coordinates. Likewise, an Overworld portal even near Ten/Z of ±32,000,000, would lead the player to the coordinates most X/Z of ±4,000,000 (less than one-third of the way to the Far Lands), then information technology is non possible to achieve the Nether Far Lands past this way. Placing the portal nigh X/Z of ±1,568,852 would allow the player to accomplish the inner edge of the Far Lands. If you attain X/Z ±12,550,820 in the Nether, the "Nether Far Lands" volition generate. More than info nearly the Nether Far Lands can be plant hither.

If y'all tried to make a under portal at the Under Far Lands, you would end up at ±100,406,560 X/Z, which is impossible, considering beyond 32,000,000 at the Overworld, blocks finish generating and "fake blocks" volition generate. You tin can't edit the terrain beyond ±32,000,000 X/Z, so the Nether Portal can't appear past this point. This is a dangerous but faster method so walking from the overworld.

But you lot don't need to really care about near things upward here because it'southward possible to go up to the bedrock platform at ~ 129 ~ using only nether portal , so it could exist very safe to exercise this in the Bedrock Edition, the just thing you demand to care of is the elytra immovability and nutrient. Bring the required stuff (h2o bucket, 4-5 elytras, a stack of phantom membranes, nutrient, flint and steel and 35 obsidian) in your ender chest and recall to bring the ender chest with you in your inventory and information technology would be very easier for you to get to the Far Lands (In that location's also a glitch in older versions (before 1.xv-ane.16) where eating dried kelp could brand you stay in the coordinates yous are in the Overworld when go to the nether. It makes everything gone easier).

Commands [ ]

Commands weren't available in Minecraft singleplayer until after the Far Lands were removed, just if the player is on a beta multiplayer server, then the thespian tin can do the /tp command..

/tp (<targets>|<destination>|<x>) or /tp (<targets>|<destination>|<x>) to teleport near the Edge Far Lands. Make sure flying is on or player damage is off, every bit information technology teleports above the height limit. 0 tin can be really anything betwixt roughly -12,550,820 and 12,550,820.
/tp (<targets>|<destination>|<x>) to teleport nearly the Corner Far Lands. Also make certain you're protected from falling harm.

In both above cases, 12550800 tin be negative.

In the Under, these commands will teleport y'all above the height layer of bedrock, so make sure to either teleport lower, turn "no-clip" on, apply Spectator mode if possible, or a combination of them.

To not get instantly hitting past loads of lag, it can be better to teleport to a few hundred meters away from the Far Lands or if using a modernistic, use lag reducing mods such as Optifine or Fastcraft.

(Annotation: In relatively recent versions of pocket edition, while teleporting to the above coordinates is still possible, terrain generates as normal but the player cannot move freely) Circumspection may crash or suspension your world.

External programs [ ]

External editors such as an NBT editor or MCEdit can exist used to edit the coordinates of the player.

MCEdit [ ]

Alternately you probably should use MCEdit to go to the far lands, however, you lot may die a few times before getting it correct. Outset the Minecraft Launcher and create a new profile in Beta one.seven.iii (cheque the box that says "Allow use of old Beta versions"). Create a new map, walk around for a few seconds, then save and quit. Open the map in MCEdit and move the player'south position to a few hundred meters from the Far Lands (so as to not go striking by the full force of the lag all at in one case). When doing this, it is a good thought to fix the player's spawn point hither, so if you die, you will be able to respawn nearly the Far Lands and non have to get through the whole process again (a similar method can be used in the possible situation where y'all spawn in a higher place or below ground.) The Far Lands' land distortion starts at 12,550,821 (x or z, although if you get for a corner where they meet wait double the lag, due to the mobs) and then it is amend to go to the 10/Z 12,550,400-12,550,600 range. Salvage and quit, load up the globe (in Beta ane.7.three), and equally information technology is a new area information technology volition exist empty for a while as it loads up. Once at that place, it is a adept idea to plow your return distance downward if you accept not done so already, every bit this will help with the lag. One time at that place hit F3 and check to see which direction increases the number (which will brandish something around i.2550E7 because 12,550,000 is considered too long by the game to brandish.) You should notice strange physics immediately, all the same, the wall of distorted terrain is still a 200-400 meter walk away (if you used the provided number range.) One time the edge of your view range hits the start of the distorted terrain you volition offset to become a large amount of lag. At present, yous demand to explore the Far Lands as much equally y'all tin before the lag makes the game too tiresome to play because once you convert your map into Beta 1.8 or higher, the only Far Lands terrain yous will take to explore is the terrain you generated in 1.seven.3. Load your map in a newer version, and at present you have the Far Lands terrain to do things to. Just recollect that any terrain that you did not explore in Beta one.7.3 volition generate equally normal terrain. If yous want a lot of the beta 1.seven.iii land to generate then once things get also laggy y'all can keep using MCEdit to teleport yourself 100 blocks further. Afterwards irresolute location with MCEdit and endmost the map (Vital! Yous can corrupt the map having it open up in 2 programs at once!) commencement Minecraft upwards, load the level, pause while looking at the sky (this lessens the CPU load) and give it a brusk time to process the changes (waiting until there are no chunk updates left may accept too long). View distance doesn't seem to affect newly generated terrain distance (notice the explored surface area circle around y'all when using a map doesn't change when view distances change) so go along it turned down even though that seems counter-intuitive. Then save and quit and use MCEdit to motion yourself another 100 blocks. Keeping either X or Z at 12,550,820 and lowering the other one by 100 each time will let you bout the border of the wall. Increasing by 12,550,820 volition allow you explore the interior of the Far Lands, however, the chance of appearing embedded in solid blocks is higher. Yous might want to consider visiting all 4 corners and mapping i square km around them. One concluding alarm: exercise non e'er alter the worldspawn (the default spawn location where yous appear at the offset and reappear at if you die and your bed is obstructed) to a Far Lands area, either with a map editor or on later versions, cheats. The area in a 10 chunk radius around the worldspawn is always loaded, and so any lag in that area is likewise ever loaded.

level.dat [ ]

You tin can edit level.dat file using an NBT editor such as NBTExplorer to get to Far Lands.

Earth customization and mods [ ]

Using customized worlds (before Coffee Edition 1.13) to creepo up the Coordinate Scale option to loftier enough numbers can cause the area where the Far Lands would be to be walkably close to the origin of the world. The Far Lands can and then exist activated using mods.^[1] This will probably not cause equally much lag as conventional methods since the gravel falling bug is only due to excessive effects and not the terrain.

Changing the Acme Scale up to similarly high options (such every bit 134000000) will generate the Heaven Far Lands, without mods.

Version switching [ ]

You can brand a new globe in modernistic Java edition and run the following command /tp @p 12550810 128 12550810 Leave modern Java edition and become to Beta 1.7.3 or older. If yous suffocate, repeat the process once more. If you exercise this at the correct Y position, you should run across the Far Lands. They tin can also be reached past creating a superflat world and travelling many blocks.

What to do at the Far Lands [ ]

When at the Far Lands, ready for lag if yous don't have a really bulky computer. The department beneath this one tin can help, simply a decently practiced reckoner/laptop is required for a slap-up experience. Once at the Far Lands, simply enjoy the expanse. Yous could attempt to see some corruptions in terrain which are quite interesting. Skilful luck. (To your computers, of course.)

Avoiding lag [ ]

The Far Lands are a very laggy identify, due to excessive coordinates and entities; still, the lag can be lessened by the following ways.

The difficulty could exist switched to peaceful and so that no hostile mobs spawn inside of the Far Lands and lag your figurer.

If the Far Lands are ported (see beneath), and the role player has access to commands, the /gamerule doMobSpawning simulated command will stop mobs from spawning, and the /kill @eastward[type=!player,r=300] command tin be used to remove excessive entities in the vicinity (use most 3 times per infinitesimal for greater efficiency; although information technology will kill any entity other than the players, including minecarts, paintings, potentially useful mobs etc.; 300 can exist whatever desired altitude), and /gamerule doEntityDrops imitation can disallow sand and gravel dropping as items (but mobs wouldn't drop anything either) (sand and gravel will not cause excessive drops in Far Lands made to spawn closer). If non ported, employ mods and/or multiplayer to get appropriate commands. Alternatively, if the terrain is ported, it can be possible to also perform the first command with the use of command blocks, along with a redstone clock. Also, if you are using Minecraft 1.nine or newer, y'all may employ a command block on the "repeat" setting, along with toggling "e'er active". Another selection is to add lag reducing mods, similar Optifine or Fastcraft.

Additionally, the render distance could be brought down to render less of the expanse, which tin can help with the lag. Looking at the sky leaves lag-inducing entities abroad from the point of view, besides lessening the lag.

Nonetheless, if you want to play on beta and you cannot install Unmarried actor commands, you tin remove the lagging entities from an area via some precise saving and re-logging. you would to this past first NBT editing yourself to 500 blocks abroad from the Far lands and start walking to them. Keeping f3 open, when you see the Far Lands and the entity count starts rapidly stuttering, y'all save and quit so reopen the world, when you join back you have to press escape and open the menu equally fast equally possible, then yous relog dorsum and walk effectually long enough to check whether the entity count is stuttering rapidly. If it is not stuttering, then you lot take cleared that portion of state from lag. if information technology is nonetheless stuttering then you demand to keep relogging and checking the count till information technology calms down. This whole procedure is kind of just luck since the entity counter seems to calm down at random points, if you can clear out a lot of terrain in ane go, that's amend simply if you can't do it in time and the entity counter calms downwards at 2000-3000, then you are going to be left with rest lag and have to manually destroy the gravel entities on the ground. Alternately you tin get the entity counter to stop going up steadily merely it will all the same exist dilating up and down a bit, this is a semi stable state and is the almost common state for the Entity relog, while it is easiest to get information technology to this, its not the best because you can easily make it unstable again, although doing this is a bit more uncommon. To get a fully stable piece of land is the all-time just it is slow, abrasive and the chance of doing this while still chirapsia the entity counter is stupidly unlikely, to go this you simply keep relogging until the entity counter doesn't dilate rapidly at all. Unfortunately, sometimes hit a semi stable state is not possible when y'all are deep in the farlands, or in the corner farlands, in this case y'all have to hit a fully stable country, which involves saving on the same frame that all the randomly falling gravel in the area has finished falling or gets destroyed merely has non reloaded nevertheless.

Porting the terrain [ ]

It is possible to port the Far Lands terrain from pre-Beta 1.8 into modernistic versions. To practise that, afterwards starting a pre-Beta 1.8 world and later reaching the Far Lands, start going (or teleporting) around to generate the Far Lands while getting rid of lag past the methods above. After generating the desired amount of terrain, convert the earth into modern versions, and yous volition have the Far Lands terrain to do things with.

If you are using a mod, load every bit much terrain every bit you tin, then convert to vanilla Minecraft of the same version.
