Option to set the limit of blocks effected by /clone and /fill

32k blocks just aren't enough to make effective use of the commands.  I understand that these limits are important to prevent crashes for slower devices but this also punishes the devices that can take the load. An option to fix the limit to a certain block limit would ensure that slower devices would be able to run normally while stronger devices are able to take advantage of the full capability of the commands.  Of course, there are workarounds to break past the 32k limit but it is better if a solution to a problem is more direct and accessible.

    In one of my worlds, I spend entire days of playing doing nothing but filling in blocks repeatedly... Imagine if I could free up all the hours I spend doing that... Would be great. So much time goes to waste because of this limit. But if you do remove it, please introduce some ways that will prevent us from messing up our worlds. I occasionally make a few mistakes, like deleting or adding a number to the coordinates by mistake, or I mark the wrong locations. As a result, I've gotten into a habit of using the " replace <block>" argument. An /undo and /redo would be great, that would affect /fill, /setblock and /clone executed by the given player; command blocks are exempt. Other than that, removing the limit altogether is a recipe for disaster, however, increasing it by up to 16 times would be useful. Perhaps a "/yes <number>" to confirm the command if the area is over a certain size.

     

    Oh, and if you do implement /redo and /undo, please save the last 1-2 actions to the disk, in case the game would crash inbetween.

    I was just playing around with commands and decided to look this up, since I'm not very familiar with commands and command blocks. I think having some type of other command to up the limit would be really helpful for clearing, filling, or even destroying your world, which I know everyone would have something they would like about this change...
