Streamer Reached Edge of Minecraft World in His Far Lands or Bust Series

Kurt J. Mac, a Minecraft streamer known for his let's play series "Far Lands or Bust," who aimed to reach the end of the Minecraft map, managed to complete this challenging task that took him 14.5 years.

Back in March 2011, Mac started a journey to the Minecraft Far Lands, a glitched place in Minecraft where the game's procedurally generated world stops generating itself and shows irregular blocks and textures. Minecraft developers intended the world to be infinitely large; however, the game's creator Markus Persson noted that the infinite procedurally generated world still would not be endless: "When implementing the 'infinite' worlds, I knew the game would start to bug out at long distances." In March 2011, Persson published a blog post about the glitch, inspiring Mac to begin his digital expedition. The creators later introduced modifications to the game's code, correcting the bug, and Mac used the beta 1.7.3 build for his exploration journey.

On October 4, the streamer finally reached the destination after a journey that took longer than a decade and managed to reach and witness the very edge of the blocky world. The blogger shared the final stage of his journey in the stream embedded above. Check out a few screenshots of Minecraft's world edge, which looks epic and inspiring:

The let's play series, with more than 800 videos on YouTube, has become a platform for charitable fundraising. Over the 14 years of its existence, fans have contributed more than $490,000 to organizations supporting gaming, public health, animal welfare, and human rights causes, including Child's Play Charity, Direct Relief, PAWS, and more.

The Far Lands journey is over, but it is noted that Kurt has no intent to stop playing in the Far Lands or Bust world and will continue to explore game worlds and their curiosities.

The Minecraft streamer has walked hundreds of kilometers inside the game.

He investigated how many steps it would take to walk a path from Riften to Solitude and to climb High Hrothgar:
