What's Beyond the Far Lands?

Minecraft can go from a fun block sandbox to a terrifying liminal space in a matter of minutes

I definitely think that the devs should incorporate weird terrain generation in canon lore. Just imagine those official places "where the world tears apart" or something of that nature. Building a home in the Farlands or Skygrid would be sick in an official version.

The farlands, at least the farlands most people know of today, is actually really only the start of it. It's separated into various different tiers further and further beyond, with the Skygrid being a part of that. Go far enough, and you risk corrupting the world's save file and losing it all together. Trust me, as someone who has travelled to the farthest depths of it for fun, that is a big risk because it means you have to start ALL OVER AGAIN TwT

One of my friends showed me the skygrids a year or so back. I've been there myself and I must say, it's a strange place. The villages there are even weirder, because they generate normally. Redstone components break. Anything smaller than a block is resized. Personally my favorite part of the far lands is just a few million blocks out (vs 15+ million), where the textures are just broken but everything else is the same. Also, on Java Edition, it is possible to go up to several quintillion blocks away from origin, resulting in a real "farlands". The terrain is extremely distorted and low-poly but it resembles the original farlands in minecraft beta. Side note on this though, there aren't any computers that can really run that.

The far lands are so creepy to me. It’s Minecraft equivalent reality itself breaking apart. It reminds me of the feeling I felt when I learned about the heat death of the universe and how eventually the expansion will get to a point where everything that holds matter together will just rip apart. The idea of reality not working properly is so disturbing

The farlands is like the backrooms, just a really big world full of mysteries and mysterious places. But Kunai really put his dedication to the limit and tried to uncover those mysteries.

I still find it crazy that until to this day, the Farlands are still talked about. I remember seeing so many videos about it way around 2016 and iirc, my world in Minecraft got glitched and ended up like the Farlands but closer to a massive chunk error. Granted this was in Minecraft PE 0.8.1, but man, it's interesting to think about looking back

I actually had found these once, as i was exploring the farlands in bedrock, i advanced just a tiny bit beyond the farlands and found myself within the skygrid, it was incredibly hard to move, as i had to wait for my movement button to finally take action and send me to the next block in the grid. I can really say that when i saw that first image i immediately knew it was bedrock edition, just for the fact i had already seen this before myself.

A while ago I was playing a flat world on bedrock and my friend teleported me millions of blocks away where I found the sky grid, honestly weirdest thing to experience in Minecraft.

When you thought that you couldn’t move in that glitchy area, you were wrong. Using elytra and firework rockets you are able to love through the different stripes. Hope this helps!

This was actually really fun to watch as a bedrock player for years, I had known about the stripe lands but never really explored much because you can’t tp past 30mil blocks from 0,0. also the problem with you never being able to move was wrong, you can still move but you need to hit a certain speed before Minecraft actually thinks you are moving. This can be done with creative flying, or if you are really far out, the only way to move is by using an elytra with rockets

love how minecraft is a funny, cool, and colorful sandbox game and the biggest mathematical java code question at the same time.

Bedrock/pocket player here. Years ago I /tp myself to the Farlands and it was so fascinating. Blocks were shorter or longer visually, the flowers only appeared from one angle, and at some point I couldn't even move/fly. Had to use zombie horses to ride hop myself from place to place (which was weird because I do remember some mobs clipping). Was still a kid back then so my recollection may be a bit off, but I just wanna share my experience :]

For some reason (for me) it only happened on the z axis of 12550800, while x axis past 12550800 would just be nothing, i also found out the skygrid (possible) goes on infinitely, but my game crashed when reaching 67108864, please go into more detail of this.

For anyone who didn’t catch the skygrid coordinates, they were x = 12,550,880, y = 122, z = 12,550,880. I hope this helps :)

This reminds me of the one time I found it on a computer in bedrock edition. I was trying to find the farlands and teleporting far away from spawn when I suddenly was in a place where it was like the sky grid. There was a villager and a lot of drowned, and I was stuck in a singular place and couldn’t move. I freaked out a little because I didn’t know what it was and teleported back to where I thought the normal world would be. This happened a year ago or so :D

I have been playing bedrock for 8 years now, and a few times I came across the stripelands by accident. And boy, were I scared... when I saw those stripes I immidiatly became uncomfortable and thought my game will break, but later I went there again and explored, eventually finding some interesting things...

Imagine if mojane made the farlands into its own dimension, just with a bit of a twist.

4:15 this gave made me remembered how me and my cousins wanted to search for the far lands and tp'd then we found this abomination

everything about the farlands is so mystical to me. i feel the fact that it exists implies a bigger picture here that we still didn’t get. something that can only be accessed from a different angle. that’s what i think is so mystical.
