After 14 Years This Minecraft Streamer Finally Did The Impossible And Reached The End Of The World

After 14 Years, Minecraft YouTuber Finally Reaches the Legendary Far Lands - 1

KurtJMac reached Minecraft’s Far Lands after a journey of over 12 million blocks from the spawn point.
This 14-year-old adventure also helped him raise over $500k for charity.
Throughout the journey, KurtJMac’s loyal companion Wolfie was by his side all the time.

After more than 14 years of walking across the endless landscapes, sailing over the vast oceans, KurtJMac has finally reached Minecraft’s Far Lands. This required him to cross over 12 million blocks from the actual spawn point; hence, it is truly an achievement of its own in Minecraft. Along the way, the YouTuber raised over $500,000 for several charities, too, turning his gaming adventure into an act of kindness.

YouTuber KurtJMac Ends 14 Year Old Walking Journey of 12 Million Blocks to Finally Reach Minecraft Far Lands

Crafters from all over the world tuned in to watch this event, and the moment was no short of a cinematic scene as well. Towards the end of the video, right before the YouTuber KurtJMac finds the mythical structure, he talks about getting some wool from sheep . Then comes the lag spike, and BAM, the Far Lands appear through the fog.

For those who don’t know anything about these structures, the Far Lands begin approximately at 12,550,824 blocks away from the spawn point in older versions of Minecraft. This is where the game gets stuttered, and a glitchy terrain or a distorted wall of blocks is formed. It happens mostly due to a math overflow bug or an integer overflow in Minecraft’s noise generator, thereby breaking the generation of the world.

What started as a simple exploration back in 2011, with the first commentary gameplay video of Kurt playing Minecraft, soon became the longest-running Minecraft adventures. For a lot of fans, it wasn’t just finding the Far Lands, it’s rather a reflection of how much time has passed through all these years.

A few players even asked the question of whether it was the same Wolfie that followed Kurt all the way to the Far Lands. And, the answer was a simple and heartfelt “ Yep ” every time. In the end, Kurt places a signboard on the Far Lands’ distorted blocks stating, “Here Farlanders First Set Foot upon Far Lands!”

Spear is a powerful, new weapon that will arrive with the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem update later this year.
The Spears can be crafted using two sticks and ingots made from any of these materials: Iron, Gold, or Diamond.
Players can equip the Spear and charge at enemies on mounts, causing damage, knocking them down, and even dismounting them.

The combat in Minecraft is going to become even more chaotic and exciting with the next update later this year. The final drop of 2025 is going to be called Mounts of Mayhem, as announced in the Minecraft Live September 2025 livestream, and it is packed with some epic features. One of the key highlights is the brand-new tier weapon – the Spear, while the other is the Nautilus mob .

The Spear is not going to be easy to master; however, it can make a difference in combat, whether it’s PvE or PvP battles. So, dive right in to know all about this powerful weapon, and how the combat situation in Minecraft is about to change.

Spear Introduces Mounted Combat in Minecraft

The Spear is not going to be just another melee weapon in Minecraft. Unlike the swords and axes, this one’s not easy to handle. As you wield it longer, it begins to feel heavier with time, reducing its effectiveness for a brief period.

Crafting a spear requires only two sticks and an ingot – Iron, Gold, or even Diamond. Coming to its combat mechanics, the Spear has two attack modes – a short, close-range Jab and a Charge attack. The Charge attack works similarly to a Mace , and the damage done increases with your speed.

Attacking with a Spear in Minecraft while riding a mount goes through three states:

Lowered or Idle state is when it can deal damage, knockback enemies, and dismount them from their mount as well.
Once the Spear starts to shake, you can deal damage and knockback enemies, but not dismount them.
Finally, once the spear starts to fall, it can only deal damage and no longer cause knockback or dismount enemies.

The Spear of each tier affects how quickly it begins to fall. The diamond Spear, being the heaviest, drops the fastest, but can deliver the heaviest blows to the enemies. Whereas the Iron and Gold versions are lighter but inflict less damage.

New Combat Scenarios in Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem

The Mounts of Mayhem update in Minecraft is all about the diversity in combat. With the addition of the Spear, players can now perform Jousting on any mount. Whether you’re thinking of Horse Jousting on the ground, using Happy Ghasts to take this battle to the skies, or diving underwater and using the new mobs, Nautilus, to battle each other, anything is possible.

Now, if you didn’t have any idea on this topic, Jousting is when two players riding a mount gallop toward each other and try to knock each other off using the Spear. Furthermore, it’s not limited to using this technique on your friends or other players.

Soon, you’ll be able to ride your favorite companion in the game, equip the Spear, and chase deadly mobs like the Zombies riding horses, or the Drowned riding the Nautilus. However, if you find that the mounts are limiting your strengths, consider flying with the Elytra and clearing out the Pillager Outposts with the Spear. And within the swoosh of a second, you’ll gain the Hero title in the nearby village.
