Far Lands or Bust
Updated: Wikipedia source
Far Lands or Bust (abbreviated FLoB) is an online video series created by Kurt J. Mac in which he plays the video game Minecraft. The series depicts his journey to the "Far Lands", a distant area of Minecraft worlds where, in certain old versions of the game, the terrain generation does not function correctly due to an integer overflow, creating a warped landscape. Kurt began traveling in March 2011, and completed his journey to the Far Lands on October 4, 2025. Episodes of Far Lands or Bust typically act as a sort of podcast, with the game providing a backing track while Kurt discusses recent events in his life, news and science. The show also encourages viewers to donate to charity to reach fundraising goals. This charity of choice was originally Child's Play, for which the show raised over $400,000. From 2018 to 2019 and 2023 to 2024, the charity was Direct Relief. In 2020, the charity was the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Washington, from which Kurt adopted his own dog, Juno, in 2017. On August 30 of the same year, Kurt announced he would no longer be using PAWS as his charity, mostly due to complications with their donation system, instead switching to supporting the Equal Justice Initiative. Since then, the series has supported the CDC Foundation, Rise Above The Disorder, Equality Texas, and UNRWA. The show holds the Guinness World Record for the longest journey in Minecraft.
