YouTuber KurtJMac has completed an impressive journey: walking to the Far Lands in Minecraft. This goal dates back to March 2011 when he began his “Far Lands or Bust” series. Over the years, he has not only captured the attention of fans but also raised about $500,000 for various charities.
Kurt started his challenge using Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 and has shared every step on his YouTube channel. His efforts have earned him a Guinness World Record for the most money raised by a charity walk in a video game.
So, what are the Far Lands? They are a fascinating terrain anomaly that appears roughly 12,550,821 blocks away from the game’s spawn point. At this distance, Minecraft’s world generation goes haywire, resulting in a strange landscape that looks like a chaotic wall of blocks.
Walking this vast distance without using cheats or shortcuts is no small feat. Very few players have managed to do this. Social media has been buzzing about Kurt’s achievement; one tweet celebrated his milestone, saying: “After over 14 years, KurtJMac has reached the Minecraft Far Lands by WALKING over 12 MILLION blocks!”
As Kurt wraps up this epic journey, fans are left wondering what he will tackle next. While he hasn’t announced any new plans yet, taking a break from Minecraft seems likely after such a monumental quest.
Interestingly, the Minecraft community continues to innovate. Just last month, a player developed an AI language model right within the game, capable of basic conversations. It’s clear that Minecraft still inspires creativity and impressive feats among its players.
