If you remember correctly, kilocrazyman a month ago became the first person to reach the far lands legit.
However, while browsing on quora for something unrelated i found this: (look picture in attachments)
Is this for real? Were the far lands reached 5 years before the first time ever? This means that AntVenom (which claimed that kilocrazyman is the first person) was wrong.
I have made a lot of research if the far lands have been reached before and this is the first time that i see a success story before kilocrazyman.
Not only can Quora be an extremely unreliable source, but the person in the image you included provides no evidence that they in fact did what they claim.
Now I don't have a horse in this race because outside of the person doing it for charity going to the Far Lands sounds like an incredibly boring waste of time. But I'm just saying, something isn't true just because some rando said they did something on the internet.

There are a many orders of magnitude more minecraft players than there are youtubers making MC content. Of those, it's probably a safe assumption that less than 1% of each group is even trying to get to the Far Lands and of those maybe 1% of THAT figure are doing it the incredibly slow and boring "legit" way (the majority simply using teleporting and other means to get there easier/faster).
I would not be surprised if someone got there legit long before crazy did and just simply didn't announce it. Most players just don't feel a need for that sort of validation.
It's not that crazy. According to the wiki, far lands start at 12,550,821. Walking speed is 4.317m/s. It's hard to accurately average the speed of travel though, because you cannot sustain 4.317m/s due to terrain changes. We'll assume 3 just to pick a number out of the air. That's also not taking into account occasional sprinting. So 12,550,821 / 3 m/s = 1162 hours. Assuming you put three hours a day into it during the week and 6 per day on the weekend, it'd take 43 weeks. About three quarter of a year. Figure a full year since nobody wants to do that every. single. day. lol
So yea, a year is a lot to dedicate to it but given that the dude in the picture said he did it in 1.7.10/1.8 he had to have started no earlier than mid 2014. Not really that amazing. All it really means is some people really need a life/girlfriend

3 hours a day is not too much; I play for about that long and have plenty of time to do other things in life and don't think it is unreasonable at all, depending on what else you also do (many people play more than one game). In my first world I've walked about 50% further than the distance to the Far Lands over 151.5 days of playtime, which is an average walking speed of only 1.43 m/s, though I have not spent all of that time trying to walk to the Far Lands/world border (or "fake chunks" in 1.6.4, which are non-interactive; you simply fall into the void past 30 million, though I fixed that in my custom version which even lets you reach the 32 bit limit); indeed, I haven't been more than about 3300 blocks from the origin in any world (my distance walked is a testament to the sheer number of caves underground):
Also, some people have even walked so far as to make the stats overflow (the game stores distance as a 32 bit integer with a precision of 1 centimeter so the maximum distance it can record is 21,474.83 km, at which point it becomes negative and counts up to 0. I've prepared for this eventuality by casting the value to a long before converting it to a displayed value so it will display properly until 42,949.67 km, after which it resets to 0).
Related, it is likely that there is somebody who has done more caving in one world than I have, just based on the fact that there are over 100 million people who regularly play the game, even if my playstyle isn't that common (I do know of several forum users with similar playstyles, if still not as exclusively devoted to caving, and another who has spent significantly more time playing on one world, though they may have spent some of that time AFKing at farms, which I never do).
3 hours a day isn't much for regular gaming, no. I've spent over 10 hours working on building bases, lol. But three hours of only travelling in one direction? That's a bit much. Just travel, not exploring areas or fighting mobs or any sort of actual game play. Just walking. That'd be insufferable drudgery lol.
I doubt casting to long will achieve anything. If you do (long)Player#getStatistic(Statistic.WALK_ON_CM) yes, you will get a long but if the value it retrieves is a rolled over int, you still get a rolled over int's value. Internally, it will still be using int when it increments the statistic so no matter what you cast on retrieval, it's already too late unfortunately. Also I was curious to see it do that so I set my walk_one_cm to 2,147,483,600 then walked and instead of rolling it just stayed at 2,147,483,647. They must have changed the behavior in later versions.

Well, you could have worded this a bit nicer, but I agree with you 100%. Guy may not be lying since he points out his disappointment with the border lands being changed to just ... border, but still.

Facts, and math. There's a good correlation between "playing Minecraft" and "not needing validation from people".

Good point, although you outgame me, I could not spend 10 hours even on Minecraft. Think my eyes might ooze out.

Some people don't want those, but honestly there are other problems with this - wouldn't it wear out your hardware? Also, I don't know what version people are on for Far Land trekking but isn't hunger going to become a problem at some point even if you start off with a full stack of steak?

Something you may not be considering here is that caving or even exploring an area properly is not the same as walking in a straight line for ages. It's much more fun so you would *want* to spend more time doing that, honestly.
I had a world I spent a large amount of time on - my first serious world - but I cave very slowly and spend a lot of time on mining railways since it was 1.5 and I wanted the On A Rail.
I bet you will overflow 42K steps at some point btw. It is inevitable.

True, I forgot hunger. They'd have to do some hunting at some point I suppose so probably take a little longer.
As to wear, nah, that wouldn't be a problem. Aside from when there are storms that knock the power out, my computers are all on 24x7. Back before my UPS bit the dust several of my servers had been running for three years nonstop. Alas, the battery went bad in my UPS and I haven't replaced it yet so it has suffered downtown due to storms since then.
Is the far lands even worth going to? it is arguably the most buggy place in Minecraft worlds for a start, and it is not an interesting thing to do in survival mode.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

It's weird and new therefore cool.
But since it's only on older versions...
