Сheckers
by choco422
Сheckers puts the classic board game inside Minecraft, reachable from the title screen or from the pause menu.
What it does
Players open a checkers board without leaving the game, which suits waiting for friends during long breaks on a server. One click from the title screen is enough to begin. The game is handled entirely on the client, so only the player who installs it needs the mod.
A built-in bot plays against the player at three levels of difficulty, named for their rank. Behavior of the bot can be adjusted through a Mod Menu screen, which the mod supports as an optional companion. Installation requires Fabric. The mod is published for Fabric across four release versions, 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and the code is under the MIT License, not open source.
Key features
Checkers in the game interface
The classic board game opens inside Minecraft, with no separate program or browser needed.
Three bot difficulties
A built-in opponent is available at three levels, so the game suits both casual and experienced players.
Bot settings in Mod Menu
Bot behavior can be customized from a Mod Menu screen, giving players control over the challenge.
Quick access from menus
The game can be started from the title screen or the pause menu without navigating through other screens.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want a simple board game inside Minecraft, and server owners who want a light activity for lobby areas. It is a client-side addition, so it needs no setup on the server.
