What it does

Shadows decided to take over a harmless world, and the mod brings that shadow theme into Minecraft as decorative content. A marble block can be crafted, and a pottery wheel, also craftable, is used with stone, sticks, wood and iron to make statues.

The chess set created on the pottery wheel comes from white stone sketches and includes a knight, two bishops, a rook, a wither and a guardian. Seven blocks are listed, and the development notes mention shadow chess and magic stations as work still in progress. Installation runs on Forge, and the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with 0.1.1 as the latest file, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
