The show also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest journey in Minecraft. [3] [4] Episodes of Far Lands or Bust typically act as a sort of podcast, with the game providing a backing track while Kurt discusses recent events in his life, news and science. The show also encourages viewers to donate to charity to reach fundraising goals. [4]
For placenames in the UK, Streetmap.co.uk is very useful for clicking on a precise point to show the coordinates. Near the foot of a page displaying a map is a link "Click here to convert/measure coordinates" which takes you to a "Grid Conversion Results" page with the WGS84 latitude and longitude amongst other useful values.
According to Planet Minecraft statistics, Greenfield is the third-most downloaded Minecraft map of all time. [ 6 ] Greenfield is designed to resemble the West Coast of the United States, heavily inspired by Los Angeles , [ 2 ] and is built to a one-to-one scale, with each block's size being one cubic meter.

This ten-parameter model is called the Molodensky-Badekas transformation and should not be confused with the more basic Molodensky transform. [19]: 133-134 Like the Helmert transform, using the Molodensky-Badekas transform is a three-step process: Convert from geodetic coordinates to ECEF coordinates for datum
The Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system (acronym ECEF), also known as the geocentric coordinate system, is a cartesian spatial reference system that represents locations in the vicinity of the Earth (including its surface, interior, atmosphere, and surrounding outer space) as X, Y, and Z measurements from its center of mass.
The main problem with the state plane coordinate system is that each zone uses a different coordinate system. This is not a major problem as long as one's needs are within the boundaries of a given state plane zone, as is the case with most county and city governments.
In Cartesian coordinates, the basis vectors are fixed (constant). In the more general setting of curvilinear coordinates, a point in space is specified by the coordinates, and at every such point there is bound a set of basis vectors, which generally are not constant: this is the essence of curvilinear coordinates in general and is a very important concept.
Ellipsoidal coordinates are a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system (,,) that generalizes the two-dimensional elliptic coordinate system. Unlike most three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate systems that feature quadratic coordinate surfaces , the ellipsoidal coordinate system is based on confocal quadrics .
