Minecraft wiki entry for After_Beta_1.8, associated text: Another noticeable difference between the Fartherer Lands and the Farthest Lands is that Farthest Lands are considered to be unstable, and in some cases failed to generate, leaving only the ocean and the bedrock layer, like the Nothingness of the Bedrock Edition Far Lands.[8] For example, in a customized world preset, Farthest Lands begins to "disappear" from the topmost layer into bedrock layer (and disappears more slowly closer to the boundary of the Edge variations) as it moves away from the center of the world. Also in the same preset, the Farthest Lands appears to be different between +X/+Z, +X/-Z, -X/+Z and -X/-Z coordinates, one of which failed to generate.[9] As such, Farthest Lands stands out in comparison of previous sets of Far Lands, which generates more stable terrain.
