Tutorial:Getting to the world border

Getting to the world border is a daunting task. In vanilla Minecraft, the world border is situated 30,000,000 blocks from the world spawn point in each direction. This article explains the numerous methods to help the player get there, such as using the Nether to divide the distance needed to be covered by 8.

In Minecraft, 1 block in the Nether is equal to traveling 8 overworld blocks. This means that you travel 8 times faster in the Nether than in the Overworld, and therefore means that you only need to travel X/Z: 3,749,998. Thus, using the Nether is highly recommended.

These methods are practical due to not having absurdly high wait times or being extremely resource-expensive, but they are all one way tickets, if one wishes to return without repeating all the prep work required, an Ender pearl stasis chamber is a must have to instantly travel back the 3,750,000 block distance.
