The last Minecraft version to feature the Far Lands is the Java Edition Beta 1.7.3. It's a real place. ~2026-EndermanJunglePiglin12284 (talk) 07:20, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

1.26.10 is latest as of birth of this reply ~2026-SkeletonAcaciaBedrock12794 (talk) 18:49, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

The article is really tied to Java Edition, the "General information" section and other content mostly contain JE information and barely any mention to BE at all. What I'm saying is, this article wouldn't work as a "portal" to both JE and BE editions, as it mostly describes the Java Edition of Far Lands. Plus, the Java Edition Far Lands itself wouldn't work as a standalone article and feels like it should've been a part/section of the main JE article, compared to Bedrock Edition Far Lands, which contains proper introduction and lead to the topic.

I'm proposing to:

• Move the current Far Lands article to the main Far Lands (Java Edition), and for the current Java Edition Far Lands to be Types of Far Lands in Java Edition, or at least a subpage of this (Far Lands (Java Edition)/Types of Far Lands).
  • In the new Far Lands (Java Edition) article, add "Types of Far Lands" section with a {{main article}} to the moved Java Edition Far Lands page.
  • Subpages of Java Edition Far Lands (e.g. Java Edition Far Lands/Up to Infdev 20100325-1640, Java Edition Far Lands/Infdev 20100327 to Beta 1.7.3, and Java Edition Far Lands/After Beta 1.8) should also be indexed too.
• Move the current Bedrock Edition Far Lands to Far Lands (Bedrock Edition).
• Make the "Far Lands" page to a disambiguation for both editions.

The Far Lands articles need a general rework... Some of the described content assumes mods are installed to expand the world's usual bounds and/or to revert the patch that removed the Far Lands. — BabylonAS 06:25, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

 Support The current set of Far Lands pages is a nightmare, I'm glad someone else sees this as an issue that needs to be fixed. I do agree on the point that the current Java Edition Far Lands page doesn't work as a standalone article, so out of the two options you propose for this "Types of Far Lands" content, I take the side of having a section in the "Far Lands (Java Edition)" page rather than another sub-page.— Jubean (talk) 06:30, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

On the same note, should the current era-specific sub-pages be collapsed into the singular Java Edition page as well? The three pages duplicate alot of the same information (In particular the Infdev-Beta and the Post Beta pages), which can be trimmed down. By also removing other information about unrelated distance effects (a majority of the "Effects" sections in each page, leaving that information for each effect's main page, as for most of them they are entirely separate bugs), and culling the screenshots to ones that actually show unique information, the combined Java edition page could be concise enough to fit in one article without actually loosing any far lands information. The primary differences between the eras can be adequately described through the history section (eg. Noise incrementing at 64 vs 171.103 for different noise breakdown coordinates) and gallery (eg. 2d vs 3d (pre-420) vs 3d (post-420) generators causing different appearances/shapes of Far lands through each infdev phase).— Jubean (talk) 07:12, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

For some reason the article mentions 1.14 changing something about the farlands, even though the terrain generation was drastically changed in 1.18, which would make more sense. If there is a way to prove that it was 1.18 that moved them further rather than 1.14, then the page should be corrected. ~2026-BrutePenguinSpider3519 (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Upon further analysis of the code differences between 1.13.2 and 1.14.4, it seems to be true. When performing calculations to maintain precision the coordinates are divided by 33554432, and after that 0.5 is added, and then the divided value is floored in the 64bit value space, in which after is used to get the fraction. When multiplying that value with the 64bit integer value and mapping noise coordinates to blocks it is 1,808,764,368,955,220,356,889,014. This number seems to match up with what is described in the article. ~2026-BrutePenguinSpider3519 (talk) 22:56, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Is Beta 1.7.3 the same as Release 1.7.3 in the launcher? 👁 Image
