Minecraft’s nearly 15-year march has come to an end. Youtuber has finally reached the mythical Far Lands

A dedicated Minecraft player recently finished an amazing 15-year journey! YouTuber AntVenom correctly predicted this would happen, and it did – Kurt “KurtJMac” Mac successfully reached the Far Lands just two days ago.

The end of an almost 15-year journey

It’s important to remember the Far Lands weren’t intentionally designed into the game. They were a bug that caused areas far away from the starting point to generate strangely, creating weird and chaotic landscapes. This bug was fixed in version 1.8, so KurtJMac had to play an older version, 1.7.3, to explore them.

Traveling to the Far Lands in Minecraft without cheats or modifications takes an incredibly long time. One player, KurtJMac, began his journey in 2011 and didn’t reach his goal until October 4, 2025 – a total of nearly 15 years!

He shared his entire adventure on YouTube in a series called *Far Lands or Bust*, which was broken up into several seasons. You can watch him finally achieve his goal in his newest video at approximately 3 hours, 43 minutes, and 25 seconds in.

Throughout his travels, KurtJMac also collected donations for charities like Child’s Play, Direct Relief, PAWS, and the Equal Justice Initiative. By the last episode of his journey, the total raised had exceeded $500,000.

People are celebrating the creator’s achievement and praising his dedication. Many Minecraft fans consider this a historic moment and believe Mojang should recognize it within the game itself.

Mojang/Microsoft, please memorialize this somehow in the game. Fourteen years! Well done, KurtJMac!

It’s been 14 years, 6 months, and 29 days since it all began. I was just a kid, around 5 or 6 years old, when this started, and now I’m 20. Congratulations!

This is an amazing moment in video gaming history.

Even after finally arriving in the Far Lands, KurtJMac isn’t planning to stop playing. He’ll keep exploring this world, as there are still plenty of strange and interesting places left to find.
