OMGcraft – Minecraft Tips & Tutorials! – How to Get to the Far Lands in Minecraft

How you can explore the incredibly ridiculous and understandable farlands hello everybody welcome to omg craft i’m your host omg chad this is my tamed ocelot hopefully she won’t cause too too make sure to keep the creepers away there you go uh today we are headed to the far

Lands of course many of you know that the far lands inside of minecraft exist but you may not know exactly how to get there so first there’s a lot of steps we have to do so let’s jump in to go to the far lands so we’re going to record this video so

You can kind of see all the windows that i’m jumping in between that’s why you’re going to see the minecraft window like that and not full screen so the first thing they have to do is inside of your minecraft launcher head on over to launch options make sure this is checked historical versions

Check it it’s going to tell you oh this may cause issues uh but make sure that is on then either create a new profile or edit a profile and change this version to old beta 1.7 if you move up to 1.8 it will no longer be there

Also i have my game directory to set to a different directory than my normal one just so that um i won’t that i can find the saves and all the data uh later and then also give yourself a few gigabytes of ram whoa i do not want to carry that

Around um and i change my minimum over here as well i’m not sure if the minimum matters so much but once you do that save this and then go ahead and launch the game i have it launched right here now one thing is that we will be editing our save to move

In the game because in this version let’s go ahead and create a world let’s name it uh farlands simple enough you can notice that there’s no the only option we have is the seed and there are in this version no commands i’m hitting t enter slash

There’s no way uh to type in commands and there is no creative mode until it is added again in beta 1.8 we’re in 1.7 so uh you either need to install mods in order to move as far in the game or you have to walk and in order to walk let’s

Just do a little bit of math here uh this is how many blocks away that you need to move uh we’re going to divide that many blocks by the amount of blocks per second you move while walking which is 4.3 okay so let’s go ahead and do that

That’s how many seconds it would take so let’s divide that by 60 to how many minutes it would take divided by 60 to how many hours it would take divided by 24 because there’s 24 hours in the day it would take 33 days of walking

In order for you to reach the far lands so we are going to be editing our save a little bit to move our player for us so go to the save directory uh that you did online was in documents temp minecraft and saves here and you can see

This is has all the stuff you’re just going to go into saves and far lands is the name that i named my world i’m not going to be inside the world right now we’re just going to do this while i’m outside of the world make sure you leave the

World this level dot dat is what you need now i google searched nbt editor and i was taken to this which is a github uh this does nbt editing all on line which is kind of nice you don’t have to download any programs which is i

Really like so we’re going to take our level.dat we’re going to copy it over here and you can see these two trees go down to player and then position now this is the position that your player is currently in so uh you have uh options zero one and two let’s go ahead

And double click on zero and this will be um our uh either x or y coordinate and so i’m going to paste in the where the far lands are which is this value uh what is this 812 million 555 550 800 and i’m going to actually

Go a little bit further back so let’s go uh to only to 700. that way the game can load in the far lands and it won’t there’s a less likely that it will it will crash so we’re going to go 100 blocks away from the far lands i’m going

To hit okay and it will change that data value once again let’s do that same thing here and this is so i’ll get to the corner you don’t have to change this this could be 0 or whatever you want to leave it at but i’m going to try to aim

For a corner so we can kind of see it on either side and then make sure you make your player uh be a little bit further up in the air than uh default because there may be a mountain remember you’re not in creative mode so you are going to

Take damage so you could set this to some safe value that your player could fall and not die immediately but if they happen to be on a hill they won’t suffocate and if we happen to be in a hill we may come back in here and and and change that

Once you have those position coordinates set hit save and it’ll download the level.dat i’ve done this a few times so it’s it downloaded a numbered version of that drag that over we’re going to delete the old uh levels and then rename this so it doesn’t have that five that five is

There because i’ve tried this five times before and it it didn’t wanna rename the level.dat and overwrite the file so now that we’ve done that uh we can jump back into the game and see where we are fingers crossed oh okay so i’m inside of something

Let’s see there we go okay so we’re inside of some uh dirt here but and we can move now you can see i hurt my player a little bit by moving around you see that moving is jk please creeper do not attack me because i’m recording uh you can see

Just how glitchy this is i’m gonna open up f3 somewhere in between zero and three is the direction that we wanna move you can also see that my x y and z coordinates have entered into like oblivion it says point one point two five five five whatever uh

That is because um it is gone into the exponentials it doesn’t exactly know so we’re gonna go in between you may see that f f at the end of uh x y and z between zero and three is where we wanna aim to walk towards the far lands now i also

Have oh and you can see um entity names whenever you have f3 on which is kind of interesting um i had my video settings set to uh oh there we are oh nice oh fancy fancy graphics there we are we have the far land so i set it

Down low to kind of load this in uh at the beginning but now we can set it to far so that we can actually see and we are here at the far lands this is uh i think an experience that any person that claims that they are into minecraft

Should accomplish is get to the far lands in the old version of minecraft there it is you can see things uh inside of it uh and growing and living inside i wish i had more blocks maybe we can get enough dirt to kind of get on top here

Uh that may also take a little while oh man um but this is the far lands man you can see that this is just like super duper glitchy i didn’t get up to the top at all uh but there we are we have done it uh in uh semi chidi semi semi-semi-cheaty way

Uh by the way the the bounding box of i said i don’t even i don’t even understand how am i still standing on this block i don’t i do not get it uh but there you go the far lands and that’s uh that’s it make sure that you uh go there i feel

Like uh as i said in the video uh it is a it’s like you you have to make the pilgrimage to the far lands at least at some point whenever you play minecraft to really say that you’ve you have the full experience somebody wants some attention here so thanks so much for

Watching uh this episode of omg craft if you enjoyed it please give it a thumbs up leave a comment down below letting me know are you gonna go to the farlands and i’ll see you next time on omgcraft bye
