Developer’s note: Paper plugin adding in-world chess matches against players and chess engines (CPUs) to Minecraft

ChessCraft, in world chess for Paper servers

ChessCraft is a Paper plugin that brings fully playable chess matches into the Minecraft environment. Players can challenge friends or face CPU opponents powered by Stockfish, creating a strategic activity that fits naturally into a hub, survival area, or dedicated minigame zone on any Minecraft server.

Boards can be customized with different piece displays, including models supported by a resource pack or textured player heads. Matches may be paused, resumed, stored, and exported in PGN format for analysis. Player versus player games also support an Elo rating system and server leaderboard, making ChessCraft a strong competitive feature for our BoxToPlay community.
