Minecraft wiki entry for Far_Lands, associated text: Just walking in the Overworld towards any direction (positive or negative X and/or Z axis) is the most time-consuming way; reaching the Far Lands from the world center would take 9 months of overall Minecraft gameplay. However, it is safer than walking in the Nether and doesn't require items difficult to obtain. Crafting a bed before starting the long journey is recommended; sleeping in it before the night falls completely will avoid the annoyance of hostile mobs in the way. Crafting a handful of boats will also help crossing large water bodies. Pay attention to heights and avoid falling from them. Since hunger was not present prior to Beta 1.8, you won't need much food but only enough to restore your health in case of you losing it by falling or being hit but if you are on creative the fastest way to reach it is by flying and sprinting toward the same direction for Minecraft: Java Edition and with elytra and fireworks on Minecraft: Pocket Edition
