About this Mod
This mod brings back the Far Lands, which were present in the default game until Beta 1.8. However, this mod does more than just bring them back. It also allows you to configure the distance at which they start, so that they are reachable without travelling 12,550,820 blocks.
Note: The mod connects to a server every time you open a world in order to check its version.
The URL the version checker polls also increments a counter every time it is requested, giving me a rudimentary play counter. Note that there is no player data sent: it is purely a count of how many times that URL has been requested.
It would be nice if you tell me what modpacks this ends up in (I'm curious), but you don't have to.

FarLands server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.7.10). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is FarLands compatible with forge?
FarLands officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.7.10. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with FarLands – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if FarLands consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
