<.< I hate to be a downer but Minecraft isn't exactly round, so how is anyone going to get to another planet/world?
I have 3 solutions for this:
1st solution:
The planets could be biome globes encased in glass and/or stone/obsidian for liquids and caves. these globes can be generated far apart with few exceptions while orbiting around a globe star or stars (lava encased in glass) using a core entity. this would allow space for far travel between globes using space ships (i am assuming you made space ships by modding and using the boat/mine cart codes or help from the Zeppelin(airship mod)?)
2nd solution:
This mod could have mini-multi-world support with space as the main world. Planets would be blocks with entities that can be created and destroyed. Same thing with stars although they would be easier to create and much harder to get rid of and much more dangerous. These entity planets and stars and etc. can be generated far apart with exceptions except they actually rotate and orbit around the generated star or stars. this may be a bit buggy with the sky for multi star systems.
3rd solution, have both one and two but use gravity like effects like that in super Mario galaxy 2. if you get this down, we could have realistic orbits like those of systems and galaxies using gravity!
my solutions could use improvement but i hope you guys take them into consideration.
>.> also there should be ultra rare spawns of black hole entities that can destroy/swallow entire systems.
gravity effects just like this one where as mario is walking around the tube and never falls off.
my thought was that were gonna just make portals. ( spaceships that do the same thing as portals. you go inside and you appear on the planet.)
Is it really more fun with portals? sigh, i guess flying through space in a death machine with things flying at you all the while your trying to get to where your going by manual or auto controlling your ship would be more fun than that but no. this could be revolutionary ya know?

do you know how hard it is to add worlds alone? making them round would make it so much longer till the mod is finished.

these are just ideas that im throwing out there because i do care for this mod and do wish to make it happen. you guys should take a look at other mods and see how their code can help. i.e: there is a mod that adds slopes to minecraft, that alone can make blocks sorta round. also the aether mod, when you jump down from the heavens you travel from there to earth, another option of travel between dimensions other than portals. there is also a multi-world mod support you guys can work with too.
I have no modding experience what so ever but tons of ideas for this mod too.
Dude thats true actually. just one more reason why we don't need to add spaceships. I think we SHOULD have small, tiny little planet/asteroid like things spawn in the air above the planet. But we are definitely just gonna use portals for now.

Part of my plan with spaceships is you craft it, like the planes mod.
Its spaceships that kinda function as portals. My plan is that first they send u to space, then once ur in space u can pick what planet to go too via the ship.

And also I had an idea about being able to build out of blocks in the world and add parts to make it a valid ship.
And of course space will be an alternate dimension.
Are you GOOD at coding?

Yeah, that's exactly what I've been thinking, but then again they are only temporary. We aren't actually using them.
i just realized. i'm not in the textures crew part of the original post.
No, its spaceships that kinda function as portals. My plan was that once ur in space u can pick what planet to go too via the ship.
I juat fixed that.

Thnx
It's good to have u on board!JUST TO CLARIFY:
