It certainly is possible to walk to the world border in a "reasonable" amount of time - I've walked far enough in my time playing to reach the original Far Lands, slightly over 40% of the distance to the current world border. For example, this is what I reached in my first world (back when I'd modded it; after reverting it to an unmodded state about 1/3rd of my "progress" was lost, about half of which has been regained) and the other worlds I've had are together comparable to this world (i.e. overall about twice the numbers see here):

Wait, world border?

By my math, starting from 0,0 and walking to 0,30000000, would take 1930.353 hours (11.500 weeks) of continuous walking. This also assumes that the player does not stop moving or slow down at any time and that the player walks in a completely straight line.

According to the wiki, the player moves at 4.317 blocks/sec when walking. 4.317 * 60 * 60 gives us 15541.2 blocks/hour. 30,000,000/15541.2 = 1930.353 hours. All values are rounded to 3 s.f, except while I was doing the math, then they weren't rounded at all.

But while you've walked 6400+ km, it hasn't been in a straight line. If you're doing anything at all in the process your forward progress would be slower.

Recently built a lava pyramid and finished my unfinished tower and laid a few crops around.

Today I recently detonated my 2nd ever charged creeper I captured a few days ago, in a temp building with another Creeper, to obtain the Creepers head for my Skull Room. Only Skeleton head left to collect ...

One word-boats. Boats are FASTER than sprinting, so they make water travel better and easier than land travel.

I just built a medium sized barn in order to start raising farm animals, and to have some well needed space for storage.

Went to the end to get some new blocks, got some horses and then started working on building things around my giant building. Filled in some ocean so that I have more space to build with and started building a wall around it.

Just gather some endstone and take the flowers from the Chorus plants. That way you can just plant the flowers on the endstone near your base and have an overworld chorus farm!

Oh, me? You want to know what I'm doing? Well, after watching somebody completely own it with Tinkerer's Construct vanilla tools, I created a world with that module and a creeper-damage remover. Currently making a house in the shape of a cross. I want one end to have a tree farm and another one to contain my Tinkerer's tools platform. Not sure about one of them since I must have an entrance :/

I can't decide - will Mute finish their building first or will Rainbow Girl reach the worlds edge first I CAN'T DECIDE!

I found two pink sheep, only the second and third ones I've ever seen, and the first ones I've found in this world in more than two years of playing it (my first world, not regularly played the whole time):

The first sheep - I also found a village at the same time, the 7th one I've found in this world. I actually found the sheep (and village) because I noticed a gray dot on the map and suspected that it was a village or desert temple, which show up as gray on maps, and went over to investigate:


I captured the sheep and put it in one of the fenced-off yards (which is in fact part of the butcher's shop and is intended to keep animals in. I removed the fences from the other one since otherwise there is no way into the house - the front side is completely buried up to the roof). Notice that instead of cobblestone I used sandstone for the wall around the village; I got most of it from under the village, leaving a large hollowed out room underneath; I also did this at the two other desert villages I've found:


Also, I've established a new base in the village, using one of the villager houses (they can freely come and go as they wish) to hold a bed, chests, furnaces, etc, and converting two of the fields to potatoes for food (56 plots is plenty considering also that I use Fortune to harvest them):




There was also a blacksmith, with obsidian, bread, and apples in the chest; of note, I traded with the blacksmith (9 iron ingots for an emerald) and this was the next trade, although none of the other villagers offer any useful emerald trades and I don't consider trading to be necessary or do it to get resources (since I'll get more diamonds anyway and diamonds are only useful if you use them); I just traded the emerald for 4 bread from another villager:


You might have noticed that I said there were two pink sheep, and there is only one in the screenshot above; well, while going back to my previous base (I still have to dig a railway between them, a distance of about 700 blocks south and 700 blocks east for 1.4 km of railway, which will be the longest single stretch I've made so far in this world, with some 6 km of rail so far) I found another one:


Now there are three sheep; actually, four since I led the first baby back into the forest I found them in (notice the ladder on the wall, which is how I get over it; spiders can still get in but they don't concern me much; only my main base is spider-proof):


Here are maps of the area I've explored so far; the third map is three fully zoomed maps put together, using a mod I made that renders maps similarly to 1.7, except the background is solid and the same color as handheld maps:



(if you look at the desert to the northeast of center you can see a gray dot, which is another village and is how I suspected that there was a village where I found the latest one)



Also, I came across this double dungeon earlier (of course, I just mined the spawners after this, along with the mossy cobblestone); one chest had diamond horse armor, of which I've filled an entire chest with despite a large part of the world having been generated in 1.5. In fact, the area where I found the pink sheep appears to have been generated back then as well, since I found cocoa beans (removed in 1.6) in a dungeon nearby (the boundary between 1.5 and 1.6 chunks appears to be just before the desert since I never noticed it when I rendered the surface); these dungeons were several hundred blocks away:

Rather than being alone, I've been playing on servers. I'm currently on Lichcraft's survival server, preparing to go to the Nether to get soul sand. I will then buy 3 skulls and start drowning the Wither.

I'm procrastinating about re-building my apartment block in my main world again.. I rested the idea for a long while but now I'm seriously thinking about it again.

I built it back in Beta and currently looks like this:

Until 2013 it didn't have any log trim, window shutters and window sills, it was plain sand and snow wall levels. The sand was turned to sandstone in 2013 also. I had built an extension on the back so there was better space for a bedroom and bigger bathroom, before hand the beds were in the main living area. I was re-doing all the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms until I got lazy again. Whilst it was taking shape inside, it still kinds looks old-fashioned on the outside. Part of me thinks it would be better just to knock it down and start again and go really modern.

On my Creative copy of the world, I've been playing with modern designs (W.I.P.):

The space is kinda restrictive however, one of the red tower parts (Stairs to all apartments) inevitably ends up partially in a mountain. I have looked for other locations to build it as a second one as a plan B option.

More work in my "tech mods" profile.

I've done a little more mining. I don't have as much redstone as I'd like just yet, so I'm not going to build my machine lab for a while longer.

I've done some more digging in my basement. It's going to be pretty darned big when I'm done with it. The house itself is actually very small, though (it's basically a compact house, in fact).

I've started digging underneath the area where I'm digging out my underground sheep farm. I'm going to put a cobblestone tile (using cobblestone tile blocks from Chisel 2) layer underneath the grass floor of the sheep pen. The outer border of the sheep pen's floor will also be made from "reinforced dirt" blocks (also from Chisel 2) to keep grass from growing on that outer area; with the way that animals wander (preferring to stay around grass and high levels of block light), having an outer rim without grass might help keep them from wander out of the pen's doors.

That's the story thus far!

Built myself a new and better detailed house, got the idea from another friend.

Built a nether portal, and i do not wish to go back there... Evah.

Built a giant creeper with water drooling out of it's mouth. Also, there is a room inside the creepers head.

Found a wolf and made it my pet

After realizing I've hardly played much 1.9 with intentions of having fun, I started a new world. Yesterday, actually. I'm in a village and I have sugar cane. And withing 30 seconds of looking, I found a villager.

A book plus 30 emeralds for a Mending book. Boom.

Replaced the fuel pump in my truck, translation didn't have time to play much minecraft.
