Idea: Expand borders after 1.13 update

Expand the borders of the overworld 2000 blocks in each direction and an appropriate amount in the nether after the update to 1.13.

This will result in a world roughly twice the area of the current one.

The terrain generator for the overworld and nether has not changed since the last public land wipe for 1.7.2, so land will line up mostly cleanly along the current borders.

Pros:
- Simple method to introduce new blocks, mobs, and biomes that requires minimal development time and effort
- Does not disturb current land

Cons:
- Requires more disk space

This may be implemented in addition to (i.e. independently of) other methods of introducing the new blocks, mobs, and biomes.

We badly need new terrain in order for this server to function into the future. If we don't do anything we will only be able to craft new game items with blocks that already exist on this server and just getting all the new stone types requires an almost non-existent supply of quartz to build with. With an expanded map we can grow this server again with new materials bringing them to first ring spawn build in order to attract new players.

Extension should apply for both overworld and nether. In addition, end reset strongly recommended.

Please.
