YouTuber KurtJMac has completed what’s been one of gaming’s longest journeys – walking from spawn to the Far Lands in Minecraft, a goal he began chasing over a decade ago in his Far Lands or Bust series.
The content creator first launched the challenge in March 2011 using Minecraft Beta 1.7.3, with the series since becoming a fundraising effort, raising around $500,000 for various charities.
The entire journey has been documented on Kurt’s YouTube channel, with the first video in the series being uploaded 14 years ago.
Kurt’s efforts have been officially recognized by Guinness World Records, which awarded him the record for most money raised by a charity walk in a video game (individual).
There and (not) back again
The Far Lands themselves are a terrain anomaly that occurs roughly 12,550,821 blocks from spawn, where the game’s procedural generation breaks down and warps the world structure, appearing as a giant wall of mish-mashed terrain.
Reaching that point by foot without cheats or shortcuts is a feat that only a single-digit number of players are believed to have achieved.
Kurt hasn’t said what he plans to do next, now that his 14-year journey has come to an end, but a break from Minecraft probably isn’t out of the question.
