GameBlocks
Tries to recreate well known board games into Minecraft
Description
GameBlocks Currently adds two new blocks. A chessboard and a checkerboard. Both crafted in a grid patter with dark oak and spruce pressure plates and spruce and oak pressure plates. Craft Calcite and Deepslate for a Sack that contains game pieces. Right-click on a board to fill that boards pieces. Then shift-right-click to reset the board. Currently, there are no settings yet to change rules and whether to show tooltips however they are planned in the future.
Issues
This mod is still in beta so expect some bugs, if you have encountered any or have some feedback, go to the GitHub issues page.
Translations
I currently have US and GB and NL translations. If you want to help, that is great, however to avoid mistakes I will need people to confirm the translations.\ Thus, since I don't want to deal with that hassle I cannot confirm I will actually add new translations at this time.
this mod looks very cool.
Sadly my world is in forge :(
This is the BEST mod like this so are there any plans to make a 1.19 version?
And I Can Help With The Romanian Translation😎😎
1.16.5 Forge Please
are you going to launch to 1.16.5?,and for forge?
Will this be brought to 1.18.2?
The chess board in the mod is messed up. When you open it, the a1 square is white but its supposed to be black. In your screenshot the white queen is located on d1 which is a black square in your mod but its supposed to be white, since the queen always stands on the square of her color. Please fix this.
This mod is great! I'd love to see what else you have planned because this is really good work!
Hi I know this is probably annoying to see but will you port this mod to forge ? like what I mean is do you have plans to do so ? or make it available for 1.16 ?
That Would be Awesome (I love this mod)
by the way I could help with Persian translation if you want but I don't suppose any Persians are gonna play with this mod :)
i loved the mod, but can u make it on forge?
In reply to batatadolixo:
yesss forge please
Hmm... It would be cool if after the game plays out you would be able to check the game history and load it into game engine to analyze it (in say Stockfish)
OR
be able to view pre-played game by pasting played game into say... book of recorded games, and then with two villagers - be able to see the game plays out in front of you.
Imagine also seeing Villagers playing with each other chess. That could be really cool, though considering that would require to write some kind of AI for this kind of game I'm not sure if it's feasable.
Optionally - probably few more layouts would be cool to play on, say on Blackstone and Calcite pattern or Birch + Dark Oak, or perhaps a more flexible setting where you can insert any two blocks and use their textures for the board?
I can't wait to see professional Chess players... join Minecraft server on a specially build arena just to play some virtual chess. I think that would be hilarious.
This mods plans are not limited to only chess. So different wood types's pressure plates are reserved for other games. Thank you for the feedback.
Yo this is so cool
I can help you with RU translation if you will send me text lines. (Discord: mirkoi#1081)
There are already people working on it, your feedback would be appreciated. https://github.com/legoatoom/GameBlocks/pull/2
How does the chess board work, do player play against bot or is the another player required ? If you play against a bot could there be option to make it so villager have to be in small radius from board so it's player Vs villager and not player Vs nothing, besides that very cool mod was looking for something like this in a while.
Currently it is only player vs player.
