YouTuber KurtJMac has completed a remarkable journey in Minecraft, reaching the Far Lands after more than 14 years. He initially set this goal in his series “Far Lands or Bust.” Throughout the journey, he raised around $500,000 for various charities.
Documenting the Journey over Years
Kurt started the challenge in March 2011 using Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. His YouTube series has documented every milestone, with the first video uploaded 14 years ago.
His fundraising efforts have also attracted significant attention, with Guinness World Records recognizing him for raising the most money from a charity walk in a video game, marking a unique achievement in gaming history.
Exploring the Terrain Anomaly
The Far Lands are a unique terrain feature that appears about 12,550,821 blocks from the spawn point. Here, the game’s world generation becomes erratic, creating unusual landscapes.
Only a few players are believed to have reached this point by walking without cheats or shortcuts, underscoring the magnitude of Kurt’s achievement.
Future Plans and Recent Highlights
Kurt has not announced his next steps after finishing this 14-year journey, though he might take a break from Minecraft.
In other Minecraft news, a player recently created a functioning AI language model in the game that can hold basic conversations.
