What's the local chat thing? Maybe if you're going to post a suggestion provide some details.

Basically it's just typing in the chat box like you would playing with a friend on a LAN server.
Unlike LAN (or any other server tbh) Meepcraft thought it would be a good idea to add a msg that cancels whatever you say if no one is near you. Go in the wild and type something (but not in shout or msg) and it will say "There aren't any players near you!"
TL;DR He's suggesting to increase the limit so that damn msg: "There aren't any players near you!" won't appear. (up to 128 blocks of course)
