• Now the game will end if the remaining pieces on the board make it impossible for either player to deliver a checkmate. This is considered a tie. This occurs in specific cases such as king versus king, king and bishop versus king, king and knight versus king, or both sides having only a bishop on the same color.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE UPDATING READ THIS:
MineChess was fully remade from scratch, it's like a completely new plugin with several improvements and fixes. If you want to continue using this plugin, before updating (if you have been using the plugin before) you need to delete the whole MineChess folder. You will lose your player data and configuration, yes, but sadly this is the only way to update to the new version, because the amount of changes were so big that it was impossible for me to create a type of migration system.

All features of the old versions of MineChess are available in this new version, but now there is a PAID version that includes new features such as player vs computer, 3d models for pieces, and more.

There is also a new WIKI: ajneb97.gitbook.io/minechess

Creating the plugin again from scratch will allow me to fix bugs and make updates in a more easier way than before, so I hope you understand this! Let me know in the discussion if you need any help and remember to check the wiki!
