That guy's been doing it for quite a while.

> At the end of that most recent FLoB-ATHON Weekend in 2015 we discovered that I was 2,266,779 blocks in the furthest 'Z' coordinate, the equivalent of 2,266-kilometers from spawn! Amazing, yes, but it means we are still only 18.06% of the way to reaching the Far Lands located at 12,550,820 meters! They don't call them "far" for nothing! INDEED!

Ah, I guess I was used to playing on multiplayer where the map size is much more limited.

You may have only played the Xbox version, which did have a strict constraint on the map size. The PC version, IIRC, has no such restriction aside from perhaps memory and/or maximum possible values. The Far Lands referred to are actually a result of this lack of constraint allowing the player to reach a point where floating point errors begin to wreak havoc on the map generator.

Most PC servers have limits enforced to prevent runaway disk usage.

In fact it's now baked into the vanilla game as a command.
