Far Lands Mod

A mod to restore the far lands in Forge. This mod was made for 1.12.2, but should theoretically work from 1.8 to 1.12.2.

Here is the far lands mod for 1.13 and above: https://github.com/ThisTestUser/FarLandsModV2

How does this work?

This mod works by using ASM to directly patch NoiseGeneratorOctaves.class. From beta 1.8 to 1.13.2, the following code below is used to fix the far lands:

k = k % 16777216L;
l = l % 16777216L;

By removing these modulos, we can allow the integers to overflow and add back the far lands!

What makes this mod different?

While there are other Far Lands mods out there, this mod uses the quickest way to add back the far lands. The fact that we don't override anything and only change 2 lines means that we could potentially create the Far Lands in other dimensions as well!

For example, here is the far lands in Twilight Forest. And here it is in planet Neptune (Galaticcraft extra planets mod) Note that dimensions that do not use the vanilla terrain generator will not have the far lands enabled.
