Does anyone know what the 64-bit Far Lands look like?

The Far Lands were a terrain glitch that occurred in old versions of the game at 12,550,821 blocks from the center of the world (and can be brought back into current versions with a mod), where the numbers behind the terrain generation reached the 32-bit integer limit producing Swiss-cheese terrain. In recent years it has been discovered that the original Far Lands were only the first in four sets, the second (known as the Farther Lands) starting at X/Z 1,004,065,811, give or take.

The third, however (which is what I was referring to in the title as 64-bit Far Lands (as that's where the 64-bit numbers in terrain generation overflow), and is referred to as the Fartherer Lands) would not start until the obscene coordinate of 53,905,378,846,979,747, orders of magnitude larger than the 32-bit integer limit where the game would break down, making them impossible to see in-game without setting an outlandish noise scale (the Coordinate Scale in an Old Customized world would have to be set to about 2.9395271E12 to get the Fartherer Lands at the regular Far Lands coordinate, and I tried that yesterday only to get a world that entirely resembles the Corner Far Lands of Beta, meaning I may need the Far Lands mod to actually see Fartherer Lands there, and installing the mod is slightly more complicated than it looks).

There would also be a fourth set of Far Lands (the Farthest Lands, which would start at X/Z 4,312,430,307,758,379,832), the equivalent for the Fartherer Lands of the Farther Lands. From what I hear, this is somewhat similar to the Far Lands of the Bedrock Edition, in that one fails to generate and that the terrain eventually decays into just empty ocean.

I haven't had much luck finding screenshots, and only managed to find one that showed a bird's eye view of the boundary between Farther Lands and Fartherer Lands.

Can someone install the Far Lands mod for 1.12.2, create a customized world with the coordinate scale high enough to find both Fartherer and Farthest Lands (ideally around 1.0E14), and provide screenshots of both the Edges and the Corners? It would help a lot since I'm working on a recreation of the Far Lands in my creative world and would like to include recreations of all 4 sets of Far Lands.

UPDATE 2/17/21: I tried getting a mod that added back the Far Lands into modern versions of Minecraft (and removed the 30,000,000 limit of vanilla) and teleporting to where the Fartherer Lands would generate (about 1,796,846,000 since I set Coordinate Scale Multiplier to 3.0E7), but just saw more of the same terrain that generates in the Farther Lands.

Here's a screenshot which was originally posted by a Reddit user going by DCMeGaMaxX, on a post in the AntVenom subreddit. (On the left is Farther Lands, and on the right is the result of taking the Main Noise Scale divided by 2^32 and going to the regular Farther Lands coordinate, using a mod to remove the 30,000,000 vanilla bound):

isn't that the one where the blocks don't even generate?

What is the one where the blocks don't even generate? The Bedrock Edition Far Lands, or the Farthest Lands of Java?

A few things, first, I mean the 3rd one of java



2nd I know there to be farlands beyond the Farthest lands that messes up the ocean.



3rd, to find the lands without downloading a mod that can contain incorrect farlands, download a teleportation mod, that allows you to teleport crazy amounts.

By the Far Lands mod, I meant the mod given on the Reddit thread titled "I resurrected the Far Lands in 1.8.1" which has since been updated to newer versions.
Also, what is the new Far Lands set beyond Farthest Lands that messes up the ocean?

It's not even new and it's on bedrock, it makes it so you can only see every other strip of blocks, then every other block, then you can't see any blocks, but they are there, so there is no way to know how the farlands beyond that look like.

That's the Stripe Lands in Bedrock Edition that you're describing, which start at X/Z 16,777,216 and gradually thin out until the game's limits. I was talking about the Fartherer and Farthest Lands on the Java Edition.
