In the "my World" start interface, open the "Map Editor" column, select the "Infinite Map" option, the game will give you a huge world without boundaries.

Of course, "infinity" is just a modifier. The map of "my World" will generate blocks in real time as the player moves, making the player think that this is an endless world, but there is a theoretical edge area in the game.

In the current version of the game, 3200 million squares away from the world origin will appear the strange phenomenon of "fake block". There is clearly a block generated in front of the eyes, but players will immediately fall when they step on it, surrounded by an endless ocean, and end the game in a slow loss of physical strength.

For a long time, walking to the end of the world without cheating in "my World" is considered an almost impossible challenge, and several players have tried to achieve this achievement in the past. But their long journey is only about 1200 million square meters at most, and there is still a long way to go before the theoretical limit of 32 million.

But on the other hand, since there is a theoretical limit to the game, as long as you stick to it day after day, there will always be a day to finish the 32 million squares. Mystical Midget, an overseas game anchor, began the never-ending marathon on January 31, 2021. After 2500 hours of torture, tens of thousands of viewers watched the end of "my World" with him in the studio.

In this one-and-a-half-year-old game, Mystical Midget uses the same studio title every day to move in the direction of the X axis from beginning to end. The beginning of the challenge is the same as an ordinary game, but in the later stage, the game has simply given up rendering different terrain, and the whole map shows a flat road. Although it is safe and reliable, it is not prone to accidents, but it is less exciting. All he has to do is face the terrain for 10 hours in a row, empty his brain and press the forward button.

The surrounding environment can not be rendered due to the huge accumulation of memory, the operation of the characters has become extremely slow, the later game will often appear stutter phenomenon, often need to wait a long time to return to normal. To this end, Mystical Midget even prepared a Tetris in the lower right corner to pass the boring waiting time.

Until the 420th day of the live broadcast, at 32 million on the X axis, the ground began to collapse, the characters fell rapidly, and the characters were surrounded by a blue sea, and the characters died in constant damage, all consistent with the characteristics of the world boundary that players had told by word of mouth. Although in the eyes of passers-by, the word Gameover on the screen symbolizes the failure of the game, in fact, Mystical Midget has proved the limits of the "my world" map with action.

After leaving the room for a few minutes to calm down, Mystical Midget returned to the camera with tears and talked to the audience about his feelings over the past year. The completely random terrain generation and the extremely boring repetitive work almost broke him down, but fortunately, the company of the inseparable audience kept him going.

After this brutal and enduring challenge, Mystical Midget has not lost interest in "my World". After that, he continued to challenge the upper limit of the game with a variety of bizarre ways of playing, and recently launched a new project called "Walking to the Corner of the Border", which aims to repeat this road of no return with difficulty. Although he talks about suffering, he honestly starts a new round of self-torture-I can only hope that he can complete the challenge as soon as possible in his normal state of mind.
