If an internal link led you , as well as sticks made from enough wood to fill over 135 double chests (as log blocks, not as wood planks, and excluding the redstone torches). ( 53 stacks of logs would be required just to make enough chests to hold all the building materials for this rail track.) If already crafted, the rails required would fill 17,361 double chests. If you had to gather the materials to make all those rails, you`d wear out 14,404 diamond pickaxes and 300 diamond axes (on average, about 3,601 diamond pickaxes and 75 diamond axes, both enchanted with Unbreaking 3). - There`s also the obvious fact that even if one were to amass all these materials, actually laying said track would require the player to travel the entire distance through other means anyway. As such, while this may be the fastest method, it is impossible unless you have already been there at least once.
- Then there`s the obvious fact that you need redstone torches. A torch can optimally light 17 blocks, so 3,529,412 torches are required. That requires 55,148 sticks/redstone dusts, which requires 2042 large chests, which requires 128 stacks of log blocks to make the chests (which requires 3 large chests!).

The boundary of the world has several "layers".
The first layer is the world border World border First appearances See History Java Edition Only See the customizable border. For the physical edge of the playable world, see World boundary. For the phenomenon that existed before Beta 1.8,

further, at X/Z ₱30,000,000. At this point, there is an invisible wall preventing the player from advancing, even in spectator mode.

The third and final layer lies at X/Z ₱30,000,192, which can be considered the absolute edge of the Minecraft Minecraft Author(s) Mojang AB (Credits) Markus "Notch" Persson (Creator) Jens "Jeb" Bergensten (Lead Developer) Jon "jonkagstrom" Kågström (AI Programmer) Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams Erik "Grum" Broes Michael "Searge" Stoyke Thomas "ProfMobius" Guimbretière Agnes "LadyAgnes" Larsson Maria world, as chunks will no longer generate beyond this point.

is 1.797⃗10308, the limit where mathematics break down in the game`s codeverify. If the player attempts to teleport beyond this limit, the game will disconnect the player with an Invalid move packet received client error. This occurs even on singleplayer See general gameplay in Minecraft. For instructional material, see Tutorials. A fresh Survival game. Gameplay in most game modes of Minecraft consists mainly of adding and destroying a variety of different blocks 
. The only way to fix this is by moving the player back with an external tool.

Beyond this, most of the unintended behavior of blocks and entities is caused by the world border (as detailed here), rather than the massive distances of the boundary itself.
