rick_hampter's Chess mod adds all 6 pieces for each colour as blocks so players can play Chess like those giant chess sets you would see in the park. The total list of features is as follows:
- Pawns, Kings, Queens, Knights, Rooks and Bishops in both white and black Colours.
- Checker block pieces that stand out a little for a custom board.
- A new type of cookie that gives you an effect that makes Chess harder by preventing you from moving your King. All pieces can be stonecut from the checker blocks, which are in turn crafted with some basic ingredients.
If you like what you see, you can support me on Ko-Fi.
