Thrusters are the primary source of propulsion for starship cruising.
Thrusters add speed and acceleration in the direction that they are pointing; therefore, applying thrust to one or multiple sides of a ship is possible.
A thruster's exhaust path may not be blocked by any block of the active starship at any distance, with the exception of one glass or glass pane block with no space in between.
Afterburner Thruster
| Afterburner | |
 An afterburner thruster, with a magma block for the glow block. | |
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | 3.0 |
| Speed | 17.5 |
| Weight | 5.0 |
| Resource Requirements | |
| Iron Block | 1 |
| Sponge | 1 |
| Gold Block | 1 |
| Thruster Block | 1 |
Afterburners provide plenty of acceleration and speed in a small package but are less efficient than other thrusters.
Ion Thruster
| Ion | |
 An ion thruster, with a sea lantern for the glow block. | |
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | 0.05 |
| Speed | 4.0 |
| Weight | 1.0 |
| Resource Requirements | |
| Sponge | 1 |
| Thruster Block | 1 |
Ion thrusters accelerate very slowly but can be used to achieve high top speeds.
Plasma Thruster
| Plasma | |
 A plasma thruster, with a redstone lamp for the glow block. | |
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | 0.75 |
| Speed | 2.5 |
| Weight | 1.0 |
| Resource Requirements | |
| Redstone Block | 1 |
| Thruster Block | 1 |
Plasma thrusters have a lower top speed but provide efficient acceleration.
