Minecraft wiki entry for Far_Lands, associated text: Using customized worlds (before Java Edition 1.13) to crank up the Coordinate Scale option to high enough numbers can cause the area where the Far Lands would be to be walkably close to the origin of the world. The Far Lands can then be activated using mods.[1] This will probably not cause as much lag as conventional methods since the gravel falling bug is only due to excessive effects and not the terrain.
