That is indeed a very big ocean...

After more than 14 years of walking across a Minecraft world, KurtJMac officially reached the Far Lands - over 12 million blocks from where he first spawned on October 4th 2025. If you don’t know what the “Far Lands” are, they were a bizarre terrain glitch found in the earliest versions of the game, appearing around 12.55 million blocks from spawn. Because the world generation code couldn’t handle distances that large, it produced surreal walls of broken terrain that became legendary in the community long before speedruns or SMP servers took over YouTube Minecraft. What started back in March 2011 as an experiment in an old Beta 1.7.3 world turned into one of the longest-running journeys in gaming. His series, “Far Lands or Bust,” didn’t just document the adventure, but it evolved into a charity project that has raised roughly $500,000 for various organizations over the years. Even though today’s versions of Minecraft no longer generate the Far Lands, the glitch remains one of the game’s most iconic pieces of history, with many viewers noting how young they were when this series initially started, and to finally see it come full circle now into their adult life.
