Longest journey in Minecraft

In March 2011, Kurt J Mac (USA) set out on an epic quest to reach the fabled Far Lands – the area roughly 12,500 km (7,767 mi) from a player’s initial spawn point, where technical issues in pre-version-1.8 releases caused strange anomalies in the terrain. Kurt has been documenting his journey on his YouTube channel “Far Lands or Bust!”, using his quest to raise money for charity. On 10 April 2015, Kurt discovered that he had walked 2,097,152 blocks (2,097.15 km; 1,303 mi). By this point Kurt was crossing a threshold that caused the game to become more glitchy. “There’s a computational rounding error that will only get worse as I get further,” he said. Incredibly, after three years of continuous travelling, Kurt was only 16.78% of the way towards his final destination.
