Description
In Bedrock, use the normal interact/use control. In multiplayer, agree who will play White and who will play Black; the board enforces the turn order for everyone.
Chessbound Blocks turns a Minecraft area into an interactive chess game. The controller generates an 8 × 8 board, places all 32 starting pieces, and validates moves using chess rules.
The board supports:
Board sessions remain available when the world is reloaded. Interacting with the controller starts over from the beginning.
The controller generates the light and dark squares automatically. You do not need to craft or place the individual board squares.
Both White and Black have:
The Creative inventory contains placer items for every colored piece. These place the corresponding decorative chess-piece block.
Place the Chessboard Controller where you want one corner of the board. Interact with it to generate the board.
The controller uses the space above its position for the board and pieces. A fresh board replaces blocks in the board area, so clear the area first. Captured pieces are displayed in two columns beside the board, so leaving additional room on both sides is recommended.
The generated starting position is:
| Row | Pieces |
|---|---|
| Black back rank | Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook |
| Black pawn rank | Eight Black Pawns |
| Middle four rows | Empty |
| White pawn rank | Eight White Pawns |
| White back rank | Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook |
The board reports selections, turns, illegal destinations, checks, captures, and game-ending results on-screen and in chat.
Only the current player's pieces can be selected. An illegal destination clears the selection, so select the piece again before trying another move.
Move onto a square occupied by an opposing piece to capture it. The captured piece is removed from the board and placed in a two-column display beside the capturing side of the board.
If that display is full, the capture still occurs, but the captured piece is not shown beside the board.
Interact with the Chessboard Controller at any time to create a fresh board. This removes the current arrangement and restores:
The controller and several White piece placers can be crafted at a crafting table.
The generated board already contains every starting piece, including pawns and rooks. Black placers, White Pawn and Rook placers, and the remaining piece variants can be obtained from the Creative inventory.
Placing a piece manually does not replace the controller's normal starting setup. Interacting with the controller afterward resets the entire board.
White pawns move toward the Black side of the board. Black pawns move toward the White side.
Moves in an L shape: two squares in one direction and one square perpendicular to it. Knights can jump over other pieces.
Moves diagonally any number of squares. The path must be clear.
Moves horizontally or vertically any number of squares. The path must be clear.
Moves horizontally, vertically, or diagonally any number of squares. The path must be clear.
Moves one square in any direction. A king cannot move into check, remain in check, or capture the opposing king.
Castling moves the king two squares toward a rook and places that rook on the square immediately beside the king.
Castling is allowed when:
Moving a king or a rook from its starting position permanently removes the relevant castling right. Capturing a rook on its starting square also removes that castling right.
When a move attacks the opposing king, the board announces that the king is in check. The checked player must make a move that removes the check.
If the player in check has no legal move, the game ends in checkmate. The player who delivered checkmate wins and receives 8 gold nuggets.
Interact with the controller to reset the board for another game.
If the current player is not in check but has no legal move, the game ends in stalemate. Reset the controller to begin again.
