As you all know, pistons push 12 blocks. That seems plenty, but ever since slime blocks were added, the 12 block limit seems small. So I think there should be a way to increase the power of pistons.
Solution
The REINFORCED PISTON! You could reinforce pistons to push larger quantities of blocks!
Survival
Crafting recipe would be this:
When you use this recipe, the piston is reinforced. A reinforced piston would look slightly darker and grayer than a normal piston. When reinforced, 12 blocks are added to the pushing limit. This can be stacked over and over until it reaches 120 blocks.
Creative
Reinforced pistons would not be available in the creative inventory. You would get them using a data tag as follows:
{PushLimit:___}
You can insert any number from 0 to 127 in the space. So you can make pistons not only stronger, but also weaker, if so desired!
Conslusion
I guess that's it. Leave any feedback if necessary!
This new piston would be useful, without a doubt. But since it's a pure upgrade from the normal piston, it gives the normal piston a bit of obsolete-ness. On the bright side, you do need some extra redstone and iron to make these, but the chances of having that extra stuff is high from the start since you need iron and redstone to make the initial piston to start with.
I fully support the 'pushlimit' command, and half-support the new piston.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

Well, people who just need a simple 1x2 piston door wouldn't need 9x reinforced pistons. Maybe if it was a more complex build, but players won't always build those kinds of monster projects.

You have a point on the first sentence, but this pistons are still an upgrade and ruin the integrity of using slime blocks/extra pistons/redstone blocks/anything to act as an extender - since the new piston already pushed so many blocks.

I feel like if it's going to happen then there's no need to add a new piston block, it should just affect the current piston we have, but that's just my two cents.
I would support an extended reach piston, but as far as push power, 12 blocks is plenty for most purposes, and it's balanced for server load. Besides, anything that can be only acquired with command block commands I would not support since I have a console. This idea solves a problem that doesn't really exist. Sorry, no support.
This would be Intresting, I play factions often, making many traps, and this could defiantly help, although it does seem pretty OP. Maybe change the recipe? 7/10

Oh great, now I have to get a new computer.
