Due to the huge expanse of this game, I think there should be serveral new additions to increase the amount of space you are able to cross.
Number one would be the wormhole or black hole. You would need a special type of block to go though it, and it would lead to another a random distance away (over say....3k?). If you did not have this certain block, you may get crushed or blown up.
My other idea was something like a warp drive, like from what seems like every popular science fiction ever. It provides a quick and efficient way of traveling great distances in a small amount of time, with of course the drawbacks of costing a lot and the ever present fear of crashing into a planet or asteroid at light speed.
Maybe add stars?
