Description

Wanna Play Chess?

This mod allows you to play chess in minecraft with friends or by yourself. Just place a chessboard, join the lobby and click "Start Game"!

You can also control the game time, choose the role of players in the lobby.

Each time you click on a figure on the board, possible moves for the figures are highlighted. Also, which is no less important, the board has a three-dimensional appearance, which completely immerses you in the game.

Chess Board

This is what the chessboard looks like during a game:

Box for Pieces crafting recipe

Preparing for the game

To start the game, you first need to insert a full box of white pieces and a full box of black pieces into the board. To do this, simply right-click on the board while holding the box of pieces in your hand. To remove boxes from the board, right-click on it while sneaking.

The complete box should include:

  1. 8 pawns
  2. 2 knights
  3. 2 bishops
  4. 2 rooks
  5. 1 queen
  6. 1 king

! A box for chess pieces can only contain pieces of one color: either white or black !

In order to place a specific figure into the box, you need to press the right mouse button while you are holding the figure in your other hand:

How to insert pieces in box

To empty a box, you simply have to right-click on it while you're sneaking.

When you break a chessboard, all the sets of pieces remain inside it, so you can set it up again and continue playing!

Possible Bugs

If you have a problem with the text field for changing the game time in the lobby, most likely the server does not have time to send and receive the packet. So if you have such a problem, just enter the numbers more slowly.
