Minecraft wiki entry for After_Beta_1.8, associated text: The X/Z Far Lands were fixed in Beta 1.8 Pre-release, so they do not exist without modifications to Minecraft. In addition, most of the distance effects were fixed. The Y Far Lands (aka the Sky Far Lands) were overlooked, but cannot be created in Vanilla 1.13 and above, due to the 'temporary' removal of customized world generation. The -Y Far Lands (also known as the Void Far Lands) are similar.
