    Many people in Build have been requesting for a removal of a map boundary, or to increase the world radius in general. Online staff members informed these players to buy a new mapslot on the store, or to archive the map. While I do agree with what these staff members have told the players, I think these aren't the best alternatives to increasing map boundaries, since people may want to continue a build they have been working on in the map, but they've built up to boundary. Of course, getting a new map to continue this build would be quite odd. However, increasing map boundaries would basically remove the need to buy more mapslots, so I propose this new idea: To be able to buy map extensions.

    Map extensions are basically extensions to increase map radius of a certain map. These can be purchasable in the Brawl Shop, and we can have different prices to increase the radius by 25 blocks, 50 blocks, and 75 blocks (adjustable). This would make it so that people can add on to builds that have already reached to the map boundaries, instead of purchasing/archiving a map.

    Thoughts?

    Not a bad idea. So, you are suggesting we need to replace buyable map slots with map extensions? We could keep them both in case anyone wants to start off in a new map instead of continuing in one.

    Good idea! I don't see any reason not to do it since it can't hurt Brawl in any way. And there'll most likely be enough people that'll buy it.

    And maybe have an option to enter the map ID when entering it in the Brawl shop. Controlling how it extends would be a pain, but I think an increase of distance from 0,0 would work.

    The thing is, if they accidentally put in the wrong ID they're screwed. What if a purchase confirmation is sent to the owner of that world that has to be clicked on the confirm the purchase? May have some problems with maps with more than 1 owner though, but there shouldn't be more than 1 owner anyways.

    Confirmation with a map name / owner name? "Are you sure you want to expand Dankopolis (359666) by xXPandaKittenXx?"

    Yea something like that. If you send the wrong map ID and the username on the store doesn't match the username of the map owner on the map specified it will cancel the message. After 10 or so seconds the store could automatically say, "Didn't get the message? Check the map ID or player username and make sure it's correct and send again."

    Could also be cool to make somewhere you can combine 2 maps into 1.

    Like side by side maps that have been built? Or double map by using two slots at once? I wonder if multi-slot massive maps could be a thing lmao

    Most preferably.

    That's one useful thing but think of the situation where someone with two huge maps (done by extensions) would eventually purchase this map combination feature. It would cause too much lag to mix two such maps.

    I've already had the problem of the worldborder while building something large, so the idea is excellent in my opinion ^.^

    I think that the prizes should be around the ideas below:
    - Standard map: 512x512
    - Extended map: 768x768 - 1,99$
    - Large map: 1024x1024 - 2,49$

    And of course if you need to extend an already extended map the prize should be cheaper.
