Put the far lands back in the game.

I know that this was just a glitch. But it would be cool if it was in the game. (again)

    I loved the mystery that the farlands brought with them. They were such a strange artifact of the game and as a result a monument to its ongoing development and it's culture as a whole. Plus, they feel more natural than the striped world border. they allude to a truly limitless world constrained only by the technology available to us. Maybe just add a warning for anyone who try's to teleport to them unknowingly. 

    world borders = every game ever 

    Farlands = Only Minecraft

    I would like it to be a Biom.

    The conditions are that these Bioms don't generate within 12,550 Blocks Square-Radius from the Middlepoint of the Minecraft-World (x=0,z=0), that's because originally the Farlands came after about 12,550,800 Blocks. But because 12 Million Blocks are just too far away, 12,550 Blocks should be good.

    Also they don't border the Minecraft-Map like until Beta 1.7, but should be scattered Bioms like Deserts, Forests, Plains and so on... The Far Lands should be rare and extremly long, but not wide, like 15 chunks x 350 chunks.

    The surrounding Area shouldn't try to make Mountains which rise to the high far-lands, it should look like until Beta 1.7 -> very unnatural.

    A not really necessary Bonus-Condition is, that they should generate next to locations, where as example Deserts and Snow-Biom clash together.

     

    Also there should be own Monsters there, like ,,corrupted Zombies" (I'm not gonna go in detail with these new Mobs) and stuff, also there should be 10%-20% more Endermans.

     

    In the Far Lands there should be some sort of Dungeons which gives you items you normaly don't expect in Dungeons (XP-Bottles, Curse of Binding-Books, Curse of Vanishing-Books, Spawneggs(?) )

     

    Yeah I know my Idea isn't the best, but I just like the Far Lands)

    The far lands should be added to the game as an option when creating a new world.

    I say add back in the Farlands with a few... Additions. Like a few new plants a poisonous mushroom for example... Or make it a mob and have the mushroom be alive and drop poison sacs! Maybe create a zombie texture and call it "The Distorted" who functions like a Farlands zombie but drops a new special crop (like how regular zombies drop carrots and potatos) and it could be "Far-Fruit." Which has a chance to cause weakness when eaten and restores 2-3 chicken legs... And of course throw Herobri- NO!!! Don't do that!... At least not on purpose :)

    Just my thoughts.

    It’s still a thing on certain devices.  But I’d like to see it on PC.

    Also you could move it in from the borders and like make it actually explore able. I'm not saying toss into the center keep it on the edges but move it in far enough that we could actually explore it or build on it but make it super dangerous. It is The Farlands after all. You could also maybe throw in a new item with a different function then traditional Minecraft. Like having a fully complete (but not activated) Nether portal in it. Or you could place a more complex above ground stronghold for the farlands that could be called "The Far-Keep" and would have some really good loot and a slime spawner (cuz who doesn't want one of those) or you could have slime all over the farlands. Like make slimes more likely to spawn here and have more alchemical ingredients that are found here. Like a "Far-Flower" which ends with an eyestalk rather then a flowerhead. Make the Farlands seriously alien to players. Make it scary... But not too scary. Just some Ideas.

    Maybe instead of a biome or a glitch, it could be implemented as a third dimension you can travel to called "the sideway"

    I never reached the farlands before, so I'm up for this!! Now we can try it on the switch as well as all of the other devices, so we can see which one has quicker ways to get there in terms of travel. I feel like that sounds really fancy why XD

    I agree. The farlands would give players a reason to travel extremely far as well as another reason to obtain and use an elytra.

    I agree that they should be in a separate world type. There are mods for it, but the ones for the newest versions are way harder to install.

    No its there but itd be cool to make it intentional and fix the camera lag when you get there any add a way to get there faster instead of walking millions of blocks

    This would be awesome, they should add more stuff to it, like weird whacky new mobs that are just mixed versions of other mods, or some new dungeon to incentivize finding it.

    The Farlands weren't technically a biome, just a generation glitch if you went to far in the world. They finally fixed this glitch after 1.7.3, and thus does not exist. The Farlands are accessible by using certain methods, in which i have tried myself. The Farlands should not be put into the game for many reasons.

    Far Lands should be a new dimension.

    I AGREE they should also make some achievments here are some ideas. far,reach the far lands. deja vu. reach the corner far lands if youve played minecrast story mode you will know why its called deja vu. far inception. play the music disc far inside the far lands. pretty far go inside the far lands. very far go to the inner far lands. um im lost. go to the crossing far lands. i have a bunch more but we would be here all day if i tried to type them all. so this all i have for today. also one more thing i think the inside of the far lands should like how they do in minecraft story mode. its because i just think it looks cool. (end of comment)

    Yeah! I think that would be really cool to see in the game! It would would give a purpose to go to the world border.

    It’d be very awesome if it was reintroduced as either a far away biome or as it was before just with an experimental toggle in the world creation menu, that way it still fits with the game and the devs don’t have to worry much about buggy messes. Since the Far Lands were in Story Mode, were even referenced in Smash Bros., and are seemingly an iconic thing Minecraft had in general due to people journeying there and stuff, it’d be nice to see them in the main game again without requiring a mod.

    I don't know how it would affect world generation, but it should be a biome like the rest, only generating around mountain biomes. In this case, though, it would probably be called "floating cliffs" or something like that.
