Although, with the Minecraft 1.18 update, Mojang has removed numerous tricks to venture past the world border, players have circumvented that problem with the help of Nether portals, minecarts etc.

In survival mode, if players attempt to go beyond the world border, they will instantly start taking damage. Survival mode players can consider the world border as the void, and shouldn't go beyond it.

Players can't even place any type of block beyond the world border. Even if the world keeps generating ahead, they don't have the power to place blocks past the world border.
