This pack makes it possible to create a chess board or other board game playing fields. In addition, it includes the possibility of placing note blocks on different backgrounds and thus changing their appearance.
The pack also includes numerous game pieces, such as chess pieces, checkers and pawns for other games in the colors black, white, red, blue, green and yellow

Note Block (Create a Board)

• Model/Texture depends on the block under the note block
• Texture variant depends also on "powered" / "unpowered" (Red Frame)
• This can be used to create a chessboard pattern from note blocks, for example.
• This allows the note block also to be used as a button.
• A redstone signal can be used to give feedback to the note block that was struck.
• Place the note block on these materials to change the look:
  • bone block >>> white
  • soul sand >>> black
• Additional for other board game designs: Place the note block on these materials to change the look:
  • packed ice >>> blue
  • gold block >>> yellow
  • iron block >>> red
  • emerald block >>> green
  • hay_block >>> brown

Blue Terracotta

Texture has been changed to a better design ("Swimming Pool Tiles" / "Bathroom Tiles")

Chess Models

It is advisable to name the piece models. For example with the "give" command: "/give @p glow_item_frame{display:{Name:'{"text":"Pawn (White)"}'},CustomModelData:100} 1"

Chess Models and MINECARTS

To move the chess pieces with the minecarts, the method of inserting armor stands as passengers carrying the pieces on their heads can be used.
To use minecarts, however, I RECOMMEND the "CustomDisplayTiles" method. This significantly reduces the number of entities and thus prevents lag.
For this method I used Kelp and its Blockdata. Use this command for that:
"/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {CustomDisplayTile:1b,DisplayOffset:100,DisplayState:{Name:"minecraft:kelp",Properties:{age:"0"}}}"

• "DisplayOffset" defines the height to the minecart in pixels
  
• "age" defines the figure using the following table
  

• 0: white pawn
• 1: black pawn
• 2: white bishop
• 3: black bishop
• 4: white rook
• 5: black rook
• 6: white knight
• 7: black knight
• 8: white queen
• 9: black queen
• 10: white king
• 11: black king

Checkers Models

• different colors
• The models are available as CustomModelData for the "glow_item_frame"
• to get the respective model/figure enter the following command: "/give @p glow_item_frame{CustomModelData:200} 1"
• It is advisable to name the piece models. For example with the "give" command: "/give @p glow_item_frame{display:{Name:'{"text":"Piece (White)"}'},CustomModelData:100} 1"

200: white checker piece
201: black checker piece

decoration / easter eggs

Tiny chess board for decoration

• as a model variant of the wooden sword
• So you can fight each other with the chess board
• according to the rules: Chess is a board game where you beat your opponent and sometimes say "chess".
• this is an easter egg that references the german comedy "7 Zwerge".
• to get the respective model/figure enter the following command: "/give @p wooden_sword{CustomModelData:401} 1" or "/give @p wooden_sword{display:{Name:'{"text":"Chess Board"}'},CustomModelData:401} 1"

ModelData
401: chess board

ADDITIONAL: kelp based minecart offset for all pieces

• No item can be used for the "offset" attribute in the minecart!
• The choice fell on kelp because it allows a list of 25 changes in ONE block state with the "age" attribute.
• The downside is that you can't easily place the block because it's "waterlogged" by default
• To use this function, create a minecart with the offset block "kelp" and give it an age.

Depending on the age, the kelp becomes a different block model:
0: white_pawn
1: black_pawn
2: white_bishop
3: black_bishop
4: white_rook
5: black_rook
6: white_knight
7: black_knight
8: white_queen
9: black_queen
10: white_king
11: black_king
12: white_checkers_piece
13: black_checkers_piece
14: red_piece
15: blue_piece
16: green_piece
17: yellow_piece
18: white_pp
19: black_pp
20: red_pp
21: blue_pp
22: green_pp
23: yellow_pp

Here is an example command: "/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {CustomDisplayTile:1b,DisplayOffset:100,DisplayState:{Name:"minecraft:kelp",Properties:{age:"11"}}}" (DisplayOffset means that the block in the minecart is raised by this number of pixels)

Update: Version 1.1 (September 2023)

• Slight adjustment of the texture for the white and the black note block (contrast)

• Change texture yellow and green for note blocks (state = on)

• New texture for "normal" noteblocks (now with "click-hand" symbol)

• Correction of the block model for the bishop to better distinguish it from pawn

• Replace the music disc sounds by a short "bling"

• Replace the note block particles by custom pawn particles
