Increase the amount of blocks that can be placed with the fill command

I am trying to make a skyblock map in bedrock edition but I have to do my best to remove land with smaller fill commands and it takes way too long. In my opinion the cap needs to be at least tripled.

    You should use a repeating command block (and have an alt account stand next to the command block to make sure it stays rendered). in the repeating command block use the command execute "Your Name" ~ ~ ~ fill ~-10 -60 ~-10 ~10 -64 ~10

    This causes the fill command to run at your location.The "~" state that it is at your location and the number next to it states how far from the position the value is. Changing the "~10" to "~20" naturally increases the distance from the position by 10.

    That's just a workaround though. The block limit should be removed so the user can worry about whether their computer chokes on a /fill command.

    This is a no-nonsense "yes it should be increased" answer. The current limit is super, well limiting. It can only be used in small spaces. The command block suggestion, while useful is some ways, is not a reasonable solution but just a very manual workaround.

    Let's use common sense please when updating the game with modern era PCs in mind. Let the user decide if their computer is good enough (most PCs these days are well fast enough to increase this limit by 100x or more). 

    This is especially true now that you can change biome types (rather, you can change the area within this limited 32K blocks amount, not actually change an entire biome as you would expect it to do).

    Thanks devs for updating the game with useful and common sense QOL updates!

    I agree 100%. The point of /fill is to make things happen fast so you're not placing big cubes of blocks one at a time. It's supposed to make something that would other wise take 4 hours take 4 seconds, but when you have to spend the time to use the "make things happen fast" command over and over and over again then it's not a very good "make things happen fast" command. 20 minutes is certainly better than 4 hours, but it becomes a "make things happen faster than snail's pace" command instead of "make things happen fast" command.

    I suggest the limit be removed entirely, or maybe have a gamerule to remove it.

    I'm assuming you know this already, but this is actually possible now with the gamerule commandModificationBlockLimit :D
