The Far Lands Walkers 2 | COMPLETE LIST 2023 [30+ players]
Leave a comment if you want me to update something. “Date of F3” doubles as the last update date.
You wouldn’t walk to the Far Lands, right. Right? The dedication of these players proves otherwise. The old post was rewritten from the ground up to feature accurate definitions of Far Lands/World Border types, a detailed list of players and up to date information. Thank you to members of the Far Lands community on Discord for providing information and proof reading, especially Xelanater and Sav. Please, enjoy this finely rewritten reference page! Play some Far Lands (Minecraft Fan Music) or The Long Haul to the Far Lands (Full Album) while you read.

I tried my best to compile the mess of data on Far Lands walkers online from an outsider perspective.
General information:
- Use Ctrl+F to search names.
- X denotes abandonment or inactivity, unless otherwise elaborated in footnotes.
- Many categories such as the End Far Lands or Flat World Border have never been attempted.
- Source may be a third party re-upload in some cases. Most sources should have timestamps.
- Players with multiple entries (not necessarily in the same table/category) are numbered.
- Raltus, fastkid542, Askefise, OverBakedGravey and Thimen24 are the only walkers in the negative direction. All walkers show a preference for walking on the positive X-axis.
Disclaimers on accuracy:
- Tables may contain inaccuracies; Some entry type modifiers such as set-seed may be missing.
- Data on ongoing WIP journeys will become outdated. There is no guarantee that a currently legal WIP journey will not become illegal in the future.
- Start and end dates of journeys may be off due to differences in recording and video upload date.
- Percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number.
- Every distance value was taken between 9th and 10th October using the most recent available F3.
Far Lands
This table lists legitimate terrestrial walks to the Overworld Far Lands (Edge) or Corner Far Lands.

*Awarded $6,000 from Notch in two separate donations.
**Raised over $460,000 via his Far Lands or Bust series.
^Raced KilloCrazyMan to be the first, ended abruptly.
^^ Have expressed desire to continue on their journey.
✝ Passed away 2022 08 13. Raised $500 via his journey. While he never uses F3, in Episode 179/186 he mentions it is the 544th Minecraft day. This is 5,440 minutes or 326,400 seconds. At the average walk speed of 4.3 blocks per second, he would have walked 1,403,520 blocks. Episodes 180-186 add up to 3 more hours, or 10,800 seconds, raising the final estimate by 46,440 to 1,449,960 blocks. This estimate is for a “perfect” constant walk. Walker Sav suggests a value closer to 1M due to; 1) A visible lack of the 1 pixel off-set seen past the 1M floating point; 2) Comparisons of Chef’s world file size with others.
~F3 not seen in any new video. Distance estimated to be over 8.3M by Walker Fig based off the amount of recorded progress and visible major jitter.
Nether Far Lands
Reaching the Nether Far Lands by going on a terrestrial journey through the nether. Not to be confused with using the Nether or Nether Roof to reach the Overworld Far Lands, which are different categories.

World Border/Boundary
This category is distinct as it requires players to legitimately reach either the World Boundary (32,000,000, pre-1.7 on Java, all versions on Bedrock) or hard World Border (29,999,984, 1.7+ on Java). On versions where the Far Lands are present, this requires going through them to nearly 3x the distance.

Invalidated Runs
This table contains terrestrial journeys that have unfortunately been invalidated by a version downgrade, accusations of cheating, use of mods or otherwise.
| Version | Type | Name | Status | Date Start | Distance (%) | Date of F3 | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

*Quote; “I used NBTEdit to change my position and my items.” I kept this entry for fun/archival purposes as it was the earliest such footage I found. Co-ordinates were not visible in F3 during such early versions without an external program, but an estimate could be made through comparison.
Automated Runs
This table contains runs that have been made entirely by an AI-controlled player. Manual overseeing (and possible intervention if stuck) was still required.

Glitched Runs
These runs use glitches, cheat engines, flying machines, elytras or other modifications that are considered invalid. This table does not aim to list every glitched run as the methods are easy to replicate by anyone. Many of these runs are speedruns with comically short times. Commands/teleporting is not included for obvious reasons.

The End Border was reached by Harrissssonn, BarrenDome and Hare_Hare_Yukai. The End Corner was reached by Armorsmith. The Nether border was reached by 0x22, IronException and I_amp.
**This channel has multiple other videos which make similar extreme claims and revolve around technical glitches, nether roof elytra travel and e-pearl statis chambers in multiplayer.

PART 1 INTRO: The Far Lands Walkers Rules and Definitions
Thank you for reading! Comment anything to add or change; I’ll add a notice if this ever gets updated.
Good update. Nice to understand.
I come to bring updates on Farfadox.
The last 10 days he made a live on twitch extensible in which he walks through the nether.
At the time I am writing this he is live and will try to reach 95% (93.5% at the time I am writing this). It will be the last day of the extensible live and in the following days he will do 1%. His goal is to reach Farlands by November 25th.
He’s at 95%, I’ll put that in now – but again, no promises for future updates as this list goes outdated day by day!
Thanks for commenting, appreciate it.
He reached that earlier today. You can watch the VOD at his twitch channel. I know that its hard to keep updated since this change daily but it would be great to have a place where you can track everyone at once. This list is the most similar to that since there is no “FarLands Pioneers” webpage. I just want to share this information since he’s from my country and its the first spanish speaker reaching the farlands on foot and recording every second of it.

Thank you, updated. I left a notice at the top of the page “Leave a comment if you want me to update something. “Date of F3” doubles as the last update date.”
