Chess v2!

This datapack adds working chess into vanilla Minecraft!

This is my version 2 of the datapack, and adds some different functionality, bug fixes, and corrected mistakes.

Functionality:

To craft a chessboard, put 4 black terracotta in the corner of the crafting table, 4 quartz blocks on the edges, and a diamond in the center. Or refer to the final image of the upload.

To use a chessboard, simply right click on the piece you would like to move. Your selected piece will glow for a second, you will receive a little sound effect, and you will be prompted with a message on where you want to move your piece. All you need to do it click the message on the right square! Please note: There is no chess engine; you are able to move any piece wherever you want. It is up to you and the other player to understand the game.

To destroy a chessboard, either break the block underneath it, and throw a dirt block on top of it.

Changelog
Functionality:

-You can now right click the chessboard to select a piece instead of crouching to select.

-There will now be sound effects when you select a piece.

-There will now be sound effects when moving a piece.

Bug Fixes:

-You are now able to use this on a server you are not op-ed on.

-Capture messages will now only pop up for the player that moved the piece.

-Movement prompts will now no longer glitch out when you select a piece; only the player who selected the piece will be prompted.

Hi Mobo!




just realized that your data pack is missing the en passant mechanic. which is capturing a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank. although it rarely happens but critical in chess.

Can I build upon your datapack to make the chess gameplay more seamless?

Yes, my code may be a bit rough lol. This was one of the first ever packs I had created to publish. It probably contains many errors and inefficiencies.

Please credit me if you do though :D, Thank you, and I would love to see the progress you make upon it!

Hai!
So I can make the recipe, but I get an item-frame named "chessboard" and when I put it down I see a dying creeper animation and nothing else happens. What am I doing wrong?

Yes!
I have the following Datapacks: imgur.com/a/3AVXPB2
Do you think any of them are forking with the chess set?

I'm not sure. You can try to test the chess datapack by itself in a seperate world to check if it works without these packs. If it is working, it may have to do with an incompatibility with one of those other packs.

When I try and click on a square inside the message, I get the message "You cannot trigger this objective yet". Have I done something wrong?
