Fun fact: The farlands also exist on the old console editions! The same exact patch for them is there, but because worlds are limited size, you can never see them if you unpatch the farlands. By forcing the scale of worldgen to be insanely small, it actually generates not only the farlands, but also the sky farlands! I have a proper override that forces the farlands to generate past a certain chunk distance from spawn. It works, but the farlands are capped to y=128. It's pretty cool how they're identical to java's, since the worldgen code is mostly 1:1 (set the biome scale to large before making the world, and then it's identical to java 1.13!).
I wonder if the 3DS edition of MC counts as Legacy edition, and if it also has the farlands 🤔 easily one of my favourite versions because of how lonely and uncanny it was.

Allam A. has confirmed last year, that the Fartherer and the Farthest lands are not true FL interations, but rather structures that break down back into the Farther Lands after several thousand blocks. And there is the infinity bit mod that actually confirms that.
yep i was gonna say this. actually i think the fartherer and farthestlands actually are what that repeating terrain is in that 64 bit mod where it doesnt properly generate anymore. its also why it makes perfect sense where it starts where it does imo
i still don't understand it like at its most core. Wdym by low noise or high noise? i ca understand the selector noise converging both noises but what does the low and high noises actually do?
I always wanted someone to bring the Far Lands back - as a biome. One that only appears at significant (but still humanly achievable) distances from spawn. maybe with the Alpha grass colors and some other additions to make it feel less like a bug and more like a mythical landmass type. And probably increased enderman spawn rates.
Just to be clear this is indeed what we'd call a joke, man this isnt rocket science it ain't that hard to understand I just thought it was funny throwing out numbers in the billions and doing math to understand why the *minecraft farlands* exist ahahaha
If you compressed the Minecraft worlds so that the distance to the far lands was just one block, the farthest lands would still be further away than the far lands are without being compressed.
I would certainly not be opposed to Mojang re-adding the Farlands to the game. They’re so mysterious and beautiful. Waaaay cooler than the current world border.
If I understand this video correctly, it wouldn't even be that hard to do either. Just tell Minecraft's world gen code to break itself for the last like 100k blocks out from the vanilla world border and you presumably would have this bug turned into an unintrusive, but really cool feature.

One note. Minecraft is using 3d perin noises, not 2d. Just, the higher you get, the more of it is "cut". 2D perlin noise is unable to generate things like hanging cliffs, overhangs, arches etc. because it give you no depth value, just height. Henrik Kniberg a former minecraft dev is describing it in his "Minecraft terrain generation in a nutshell" video. Another proof of that can be seen at 3:38 min of the video. Look at the "selector noise:". Below 3 variables are shown, Period, Period Y, Period Z - 2D perlin noise is taking only 2 dimensions as the input, and is returning 3rd one. 3D perlin noise on the other hand is taking 3 dimensions, and is returning 4th one. This 4th dimension is threated differently than 3rd dimension in 2d perlin noise. It doesn't show you how "high" on the 4th dimension you should generate terrain, it just show you where blocks should be, so e.g. values below 0 are air, and above or equeal to 0 are stone. World generation shown at the graph above, again at 3:38, as well as the farlands terrain is impossible to generate with just 2d perlin noise
So does Infdev use 2D perlin noise, and that's why the farlands there are just solid stone (height value is huge, so everything is "deep underground", and there are no holes because 2D perlin noise only gives a height)?
@@StarboyXL9 Its just perlin noise but in 4d. It takes 4 parameters(X, Y, Z, W), instead of 3(like 3d perlin noise), and outputs a single value. Just math, nothing magical, or unexpected here. There are some projects that use it, e.g. 4d miner
@@jozefkudrys1681 Right, but what would a Minecraft world made with 4dimensional Perlin noise look like? How would time proceed inside of the game world?
Even though it's all pre-calculated, I still get the same feeling of dread and wonder that I do when learning about deep space. Very well researched video!
I have a mod that goes beyond the 64 bit integer limit to explore the farlands and see the ways in which the terrain falls apart at extreme distances. I love the farlands.
Whoa... This is just fascinating to learn... This video blew my mind, just like back then, in 2017-2018, when I first started watching your Breaking Minecraft series and learning about the farlands for the first time... And I want to say thank you for bringing me into this side of Minecraft all those years ago :)
I truly miss rewatching the old far land videos but THIS VIDEO has made my interest for this weird terrain generation has spiked even more.. thanks Ant Venom, this series, even if it is one is just so perfect to me.!
I would recommend, for clarity's sake, calling the vertical far land categories as "high" and "deep" instead of "far". So the above-normal sky far lands of the topmost level would be the "Highest Sky", the level below that would be the "Higher Sky", the layer below that would be the "High Sky", and the layer just above the normal terrain generation would be just the normal "Sky Lands". Likewise, the void lands, going from outermost to innermost would be "Deepest Void", "Deeper Void", "Deep Void", and "Void", respectively. So, how you would mark the lands that were in the corner two out and three up would be the "Corner farther higher sky lands".
I honestly think the way I named them is better, because specifically naming them in this manner means there's really never any confusion. Edge Farther Sky Far Lands implies a very specific and easy to understand section of the Minecraft world. It's on either the X or Z Farther plane, and on the Far plane on the Y axis. Changing up the wording, IMO, will cause more confusion.
@@AntVenom I had a little trouble following the "Edge Fartherer Sky Far Lands" type names in the video. I think the High/Deep naming scheme that OP suggested would add extra clarity.
I really wish they would embrace the Farlands and add it into the game instead of removing it. It could've been a more interesting border than the one we have right now, perhaps in a normal Minecraft world they could've made it so the final 1000 blocks before the border could be Farlands that you can actually enter and interact with, and then after those 1000 you get the border we have right now. It would give players a reason to try and traverse such a long distance just like how they did long time ago and they would also play along with such a historical phenomenon. Honestly a missed opportunity in my opinion.
I'm curious to know how this would look in the Nether and the End dimension. I can just only imagine End Sky Farlands. So for those wondering: You can actually generate the Sky Far Lands in a vanilla world. If you take the Y-Scale for the noise map and multiply it by an extremly high value you can actualy see them in-game! So it is a true thing that doesn't require the cubic chunks mod and that's just insane.

you're an absolute legend in this community, im glad that i grew up with this game and i appreciate all the og youtubers. really well made vid!! -old fan
Absolutely insane video. Loved every second of it and I love how much passion and dedication you have for breaking Minecraft. I first started watching your videos back in 2011 in your original coverage of the Far Lands. It's crazy how much to this silly little block game there is. As always great video and I cannot wait for your next one! Of course don't overwork yourself/burn yourself out either. Your health matters too.
is there a mod that allows for the Far Lands generation to happen throughout the entire world instead of only at the edges? I feel like this could be interesting for more wild and difficult world generation
And then there’s bedrock: a few million blocks out (I’m not sure how many exactly), the terrain generates as normal, but all entities cease to collide with blocks. From there onwards, the further you go in that direction, the more difficult it is to travel perpendicular to the farlands. At around 12.55 million blocks, you reach the farlands. I’m not sure what’s in between, but at thirty million blocks out, you can literally only move parallel to the farlands, and vertically. All blocks now appear two blocks long, and every second block doesn’t exist visually. Also it is impossible to travel beyond this point by any means, even teleportation. As for vertical farlands, I’ve never known of a mod that generates them in bedrock, but I do know that many thousand blocks up, you hit an invisible ceiling which cannot be passed by any means, even commands. And downwards, there’s an invisible floor forty blocks into the void that you can just walk around on in creative or if you survive long enough in survival. You can teleport beyond that, but I’ve never checked what happens if you keep going down there.
Maybe something like Normal - Far Lands - Farther Lands - Far Lands 64 - Farther Lands 64 As Fartherer and Farthest just mean 64-bit overflows instead of 32-bit?
I know this is about math and technical stuff but your voice gives me creepy vibes If you're covering minecraft secrets and mysterious i would be terrified even more. Love it
13:41 For as long as I have known about minecraft, the far lands phenomenon has always had me very very intrigued, and even moreso the more I dive into coding and general computer science stuff. Ant, I beg you PLEASE make that video

The farlands looks like a place you’ve been, but have never gone to, it lives in your head, alive and not alive, the world breaking and remaking itself, into a broken, glitched, wall of something that use to be alive
For a naming scheme I propose borrowing ideas from chemistry and have names like (optionally with positive/negative before X/Y/Z to specify direction): X-farlands - regular farlands on +-x Y-farlands - vertical farlands XZ-farlands - regular corner (?) farlands X-far-Z-fartherlands - regular farlands on X coordinate, fartherlands on Z coordinate X-far-Y-farthest-Z-fartherlands -regular farlands range on X, farthestlands on Y, and fartherlands on Z coordinate XYZ-farthestlands - farthestlands in all directions Etc.. Or maybe even avoid the somewhat silly farther, fartherer and farthest as names and do something like: X4Y2Z-farlands - corresponding to X-far-Y-farthest-Z-fartherlands, though that would be very uno virus what it even means when someone doesn't know such naming scheme
This is my favorite video you made so far in your UA-cam career. It’s just insane how far the farlands truly go, and who knows, maybe there’s something else more daunting to be be discovered…
I apologize for being late to the party but this is absolutely fascinating thank you! I also love that we now have more answers and a better understanding of the Far Lands 😁
All those the Far Lands variations are just absolutely stunning. Like literally, I can't even say anything that describes how I'm feeling looking at them!
"Bro where u at" "I'm in between the Edge Far Sky Farther Lands, the Edge Farther Sky Farther Lands, the Edge Far Sky Far Lands and the Edge Farther Sky Far Lands"
The farlands in bedrock always stood out to me(well before their removal). According to some maps of bedrock worlds after the farlands there is nothing but ocean and bedrock but there is no video footage of it only a single screenshot on the wiki.
Minecraft's farlands is one of the reasons why I love algorithms and math in programming. Fascinating how algorithms for world generation can sometimes do crazy things when it reaches some kind of limit or unexpected condition.
this is actually the first video that i watched that i can properly understand for reasons why the farlands happen oh my god thank you edit: btw the fartherer and farthestlands are actually artifacts of terrain gen breakdown likely being the bug that affects the farlands in the 64 bit farlands mod where terrain just repeats itself to a point
Oh hey there! Still waiting for that video wink wink Anyways, yeah, this is some really fantastic stuff to learn... Wow... This just blew my mind, just like back then when I first learned about the farlands from Ant's video
@@NuruddinPlays same here. and then i learned about the fringelands a couple years ago from allam a. i actually singlehandedly credit ant and allam for getting me way into computer science as a whole and breaking games too. its great also yeah the video im making is probably gonna be out by like april 14th or so. atleast i hope lmao
Someone should make some kind of Backrooms-like lore for the far lands. The further you go into it, the more distorted and dangerous the creatures get. Might be a great ARG and/or a mod to have in the game.
I’m gonna cry, you were my childhood. I’m 24 now and I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you’re still making videos. Thankyou antvenom, ive got a few years of videos to catch-up on
The far lands freaked me out as a kid. Just unsettling and alien. Somehow minecraft capture how non Euclidean geometry from lovecraft better than any horror game.
I just randomly clicked on this minecraft video for some nostalgia, and to my surprise its one of the most og minecrafters to date. Its been years since Ive seen a vid from antvenom and im so glad that you're still making videos. The old gen still remembers and loves you buddy
• 0:49 Minecraft InfDev(Visual Glitches, Basic Stone Wall and their variations) • 2:20 Minecraft InfDev (First Farlands you familiar with) • 6:42 (The Corner Far Lands) • 8:13 (The Farther Lands) • 10:02 (The Sky and Void Far Lands) • 10:58 (The Corner Far Void Farther Lands) • 11:44 (The Farther-er & Farthest Lands)
It's crazy that 99.9% of a Minecraft world resides in the Farlands. The "normal terrain" is actually the smallest portion of a Minecraft world by a huge margin.
Honestly, the idea of reality slowly beginning to collapse the further and further away you travel from its origin point is stepping into eldritch horror territory
so, fun fact for the graph at 12:19: the 64 bit overflow distance on the Y axis is 11.31 LIGHTYEARS away. yeah, no, really, its that far. for reference, the nearest star to earth, proxima centauri, is 4.3 lightyears away.
for anyone wondering, and also if you watch tristangent :3 the fartherer lands and farthest lands don’t exist, the farthest lands are actually the fringe lands iirc and the fartherer lands just don’t exist at all
When I was a new player over a decade ago, I actually got to see the Corner Farlands naturally in my game and it was the coolest thing. I’ll never forget it. I built a base just outside so I could look at them whenever I played. I ended up losing the password to that account somewhere on the way so I lost that save, but it was so cool.

Below 3 variables are shown, Period, Period Y, Period Z - 2D perlin noise is taking only 2 dimensions as the input, and is returning 3rd one. 3D perlin noise on the other hand is taking 3 dimensions, and is returning 4th one. This 4th dimension is threated differently than 3rd dimension in 2d perlin noise. It doesn't show you how "high" on the 4th dimension you should generate terrain, it just show you where blocks should be, so e.g. values below 0 are air, and above or equeal to 0 are stone. World generation shown at the graph above, again at 3:38, as well as the farlands terrain is impossible to generate with just 2d perlin noise
So does Infdev use 2D perlin noise, and that's why the farlands there are just solid stone (height value is huge, so everything is "deep underground", and there are no holes because 2D perlin noise only gives a height)?
@@vibaj16 Its of high probability
What does humanity know about 4d Perlin noises?
@@StarboyXL9 Its just perlin noise but in 4d. It takes 4 parameters(X, Y, Z, W), instead of 3(like 3d perlin noise), and outputs a single value. Just math, nothing magical, or unexpected here. There are some projects that use it, e.g. 4d miner
@@jozefkudrys1681 Right, but what would a Minecraft world made with 4dimensional Perlin noise look like? How would time proceed inside of the game world?
Even though it's all pre-calculated, I still get the same feeling of dread and wonder that I do when learning about deep space.
Very well researched video!
I have a mod that goes beyond the 64 bit integer limit to explore the farlands and see the ways in which the terrain falls apart at extreme distances. I love the farlands.
i bet that mod is on 1.3.2
So you have 128 bit mod? Pretty cool ngl
Source: "trust me"
@@Bruh-zx2mc why dismiss it? The 128 bit mod exists
Name the mod and where I can download it
This feels like an existential video, it's so far out of reach for a normal player that someone without cheats or mods could never comprehend it.
I love how mysterious, weird, and exclusive the early days of Minecraft are. The early happenings of Minecraft have like a nearly mythical status.
Yes
SO satafying
This is how religions start.
14:27 I love the way the corner sky far lands look, the terrain kind of looks normal but is broken up and mystical at the same time
Brutalist world generation, would be cool to see in a normal world.
Whoa... This is just fascinating to learn... This video blew my mind, just like back then, in 2017-2018, when I first started watching your Breaking Minecraft series and learning about the farlands for the first time... And I want to say thank you for bringing me into this side of Minecraft all those years ago :)
I truly miss rewatching the old far land videos but THIS VIDEO has made my interest for this weird terrain generation has spiked even more.. thanks Ant Venom, this series, even if it is one is just so perfect to me.!
I would recommend, for clarity's sake, calling the vertical far land categories as "high" and "deep" instead of "far".
So the above-normal sky far lands of the topmost level would be the "Highest Sky", the level below that would be the "Higher Sky", the layer below that would be the "High Sky", and the layer just above the normal terrain generation would be just the normal "Sky Lands".
Likewise, the void lands, going from outermost to innermost would be "Deepest Void", "Deeper Void", "Deep Void", and "Void", respectively.
So, how you would mark the lands that were in the corner two out and three up would be the "Corner farther higher sky lands".
I honestly think the way I named them is better, because specifically naming them in this manner means there's really never any confusion. Edge Farther Sky Far Lands implies a very specific and easy to understand section of the Minecraft world. It's on either the X or Z Farther plane, and on the Far plane on the Y axis. Changing up the wording, IMO, will cause more confusion.
@@AntVenom I had a little trouble following the "Edge Fartherer Sky Far Lands" type names in the video. I think the High/Deep naming scheme that OP suggested would add extra clarity.
Imagine walking to the Far Lands in Minecraft, then realizing it's just an endless void of glitchiness 😂
I really wish they would embrace the Farlands and add it into the game instead of removing it. It could've been a more interesting border than the one we have right now, perhaps in a normal Minecraft world they could've made it so the final 1000 blocks before the border could be Farlands that you can actually enter and interact with, and then after those 1000 you get the border we have right now.
It would give players a reason to try and traverse such a long distance just like how they did long time ago and they would also play along with such a historical phenomenon.
Honestly a missed opportunity in my opinion.
The only thing that is hard to remember is the extremely long names of some of those farlands variants.
I'm curious to know how this would look in the Nether and the End dimension. I can just only imagine End Sky Farlands.
So for those wondering: You can actually generate the Sky Far Lands in a vanilla world. If you take the Y-Scale for the noise map and multiply it by an extremly high value you can actualy see them in-game! So it is a true thing that doesn't require the cubic chunks mod and that's just insane.

I traveled so far my Minecraft character exited my computer and visited every place on Earth and I still didn't find it. It's probably a myth.
This can either be a germany joke or a ur dad left joke

AntVenom has some of the most technical, yet messy deconstruction and destruction of the game I’ve seen, love it!
Absolutely insane video. Loved every second of it and I love how much passion and dedication you have for breaking Minecraft. I first started watching your videos back in 2011 in your original coverage of the Far Lands. It's crazy how much to this silly little block game there is. As always great video and I cannot wait for your next one! Of course don't overwork yourself/burn yourself out either. Your health matters too.
As a farlands walker, I approve

You should try to make it to the void or sky farlands in Cubic Chunks!
hi sav
hi sav
the greeting to the youngest farlands walker called sav
hi
Always lovely to see a new Ant upload on my recommended! Hope you’re doing well!
is there a mod that allows for the Far Lands generation to happen throughout the entire world instead of only at the edges? I feel like this could be interesting for more wild and difficult world generation
i think the mod ant uses to add them back actually allows for this as an option
And then there’s bedrock: a few million blocks out (I’m not sure how many exactly), the terrain generates as normal, but all entities cease to collide with blocks. From there onwards, the further you go in that direction, the more difficult it is to travel perpendicular to the farlands. At around 12.55 million blocks, you reach the farlands. I’m not sure what’s in between, but at thirty million blocks out, you can literally only move parallel to the farlands, and vertically. All blocks now appear two blocks long, and every second block doesn’t exist visually. Also it is impossible to travel beyond this point by any means, even teleportation. As for vertical farlands, I’ve never known of a mod that generates them in bedrock, but I do know that many thousand blocks up, you hit an invisible ceiling which cannot be passed by any means, even commands. And downwards, there’s an invisible floor forty blocks into the void that you can just walk around on in creative or if you survive long enough in survival. You can teleport beyond that, but I’ve never checked what happens if you keep going down there.
This is one of my favorite parts of Minecraft, I’m glad it’s being covered again!
Great Video! I like your explanation. I really liked the use of music during the math sections and when you showed the graph blowing up.
I raise to rename "FarthererLands" to just "FurtherLands"
Normal game - Farlands - FartherLands - FurtherLands - FarthestLands
Distantlands, perhaps
Maybe something like
Normal - Far Lands - Farther Lands - Far Lands 64 - Farther Lands 64
As Fartherer and Farthest just mean 64-bit overflows instead of 32-bit?
Babe, wake up. A new AntVenom Farlands video just dropped
Man, seeing you post is a hit of nostalgia. Would watch your videos everyday when I was a kid 😂
Really. Nothing has even changed. Same style. Missed these types of videos.
I know this is about math and technical stuff but your voice gives me creepy vibes
If you're covering minecraft secrets and mysterious i would be terrified even more.

real
The farlands looks like a place you’ve been, but have never gone to, it lives in your head, alive and not alive, the world breaking and remaking itself, into a broken, glitched, wall of something that use to be alive
I just watched a dramatic 15 minute video about a block game and I'm not upset about it
For a naming scheme I propose borrowing ideas from chemistry and have names like (optionally with positive/negative before X/Y/Z to specify direction):
X-farlands - regular farlands on +-x
Y-farlands - vertical farlands
XZ-farlands - regular corner (?) farlands
X-far-Z-fartherlands - regular farlands on X coordinate, fartherlands on Z coordinate
X-far-Y-farthest-Z-fartherlands -regular farlands range on X, farthestlands on Y, and fartherlands on Z coordinate
XYZ-farthestlands - farthestlands in all directions
Etc..
Or maybe even avoid the somewhat silly farther, fartherer and farthest as names and do something like:
X4Y2Z-farlands - corresponding to X-far-Y-farthest-Z-fartherlands, though that would be very uno virus what it even means when someone doesn't know such naming scheme
A small part of my brain was expecting a smosh sketch
What if you buff-date Kratos so it’s harder than Tidal Wave or Aeternus xD
yoooo Tride
This is my favorite video you made so far in your UA-cam career. It’s just insane how far the farlands truly go, and who knows, maybe there’s something else more daunting to be be discovered…
I apologize for being late to the party but this is absolutely fascinating thank you! I also love that we now have more answers and a better understanding of the Far Lands 😁
All those the Far Lands variations are just absolutely stunning. Like literally, I can't even say anything that describes how I'm feeling looking at them!
"Bro where u at"
"I'm in between the Edge Far Sky Farther Lands, the Edge Farther Sky Farther Lands, the Edge Far Sky Far Lands and the Edge Farther Sky Far Lands"
The farthest lands of the far lands starts to feel like that scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Hey! Just commenting to say that you are the last Minecraft channel that I still watch from that early 2010s era of the Internet. Love you lots! ❤❤

This was so in depth with detail it was like sensory overload. I never knew that these types of far lands existed thank you so much.
you know. i would love to watch a 1 hour+ documentary on everything about he Farlands, Voidlands, and Skylands.
I love that your starting to upload consistently again, also the videos have been amazing! Great job Ant!
The farlands in bedrock always stood out to me(well before their removal). According to some maps of bedrock worlds after the farlands there is nothing but ocean and bedrock but there is no video footage of it only a single screenshot on the wiki.
Minecraft's farlands is one of the reasons why I love algorithms and math in programming.
Fascinating how algorithms for world generation can sometimes do crazy things when it reaches some kind of limit or unexpected condition.
this is actually the first video that i watched that i can properly understand for reasons why the farlands happen oh my god thank you
edit: btw the fartherer and farthestlands are actually artifacts of terrain gen breakdown likely being the bug that affects the farlands in the 64 bit farlands mod where terrain just repeats itself to a point
Oh hey there! Still waiting for that video wink wink
Anyways, yeah, this is some really fantastic stuff to learn... Wow... This just blew my mind, just like back then when I first learned about the farlands from Ant's video

Stuff like this is why Minecraft has managed to bring the art and tech people together. There's enough for both groups and more.

Do you think a video of the history of the bedrock farlands would be good? Good video thou
